Charlie28 Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Well today my Cusco LSD turned up from Uzzy, so set about taking apart my gearbox and getting it fitted! Had planned to get my engine in this weekend but unfortunately I don't have the right gearbox sandwich plate Also test fitted my turbo and wastegate to the WEPR manifold to make sure everything fitted ok, which it did Should receive the correct gearbox sandwich plate in the week and hopefully get the engine in next weekend!

Charlie28 Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Got a little bit more done today as the weather was decent! Turbo and WEPR manifold is now fitted. Got most of the loom plugged back in too. Ordered a oil line for my turbo from Keith @zisco which should be here by next weekend. Made a couple of other purchases too but they'll remain a surprise!
