no.. i have a pic of it.. its done.. just need to run a final test or 2.. i'm still using the stock fuel pump so that might be a problem.. but as far as the kit goes.. its done..

the bay is dirty.. can't wait to clean everything.. the valve cover has been powdercoated and the piping is ceramic coated.. both yellow.. gotta get the blue wire kit and grounding kit.. all happening over winter.. but you'll see the general setup of the turbo for the 1.5L.

when i get the car back in my possession i'll take better shots.. close ups of the turbo, how its attached.. crap like that.. for now this is what i have from Essential..

looks pretty good from what i see, tight fit, lol what turbo are you running, and what psi are you figuring for daily use?

[Clappy]

my quote says its a TEO4H turbo. its running at 5psi right now without an intercooler. he's run it up and down the street a couple times at 5 and it works well he said, but needs a thorough lengthy test.. i'll prolly run around 3 for daily use..

[THEGOLDPRO]

thats good stuff, get rid of those cheap ass hose clamps as well, get some t-bolt

[Clappy]

yeah.. there's a lot of stuff i gotta do to this engine bay.. new sparkplug wires, new plugs.. Lots to keep me busy over the fall..

Nice nice!

[THEGOLDPRO]

so are you officially the first boosted 1.5 litre???

[Clappy]

i'm officially the first Essential boosted 1.5L.. i'm not sure if anyone else has done a 1.5 yet.... I'll claim it for now till someone else says otherwise

Post Dyno result when you get them. Will you be putting an intercooler in it????

[Clappy]

my plan was to get a stage1.. dyno it and stuff.. then over the winter/spring. upgrade to stage2 (intercooled) dyno it.... see the gains..

[K Dawg ONE]

I dont know if Clappy knows this or not, but, its intercooled now....lol

[Clappy]
