should I bother?

Thu 09 Dec 2010 01:50:01 PM
This month I've replaced head gasket and water pump, yesterday drive-shafts, now looking to replace input bearing on gearbox.

I've been thinking of putting my turbo back in the car (just got to make a new dump pipe & heat shielding) on low boost 3-4psi for the meet on 18th December.

OR should i really tidy up the loose ends and take my time with:
- new intake manifold with SR20 throttle body(or quad bodies)
- sr20 MAF pre-turbo and a proper filter/intake shielding
- 2 small pumps/radiators for turbo
- water injection (everything purchased, just testing and installation required)
- variable ignition timing(kit built, only installation required)

or should i bother at all?

i'm shocked and/or appalled that u'd be asking that question fred!?! :~)
tidy up the loose ends, exercise patience with the project and reap the rewards when it's all done and dusted...

my fuel pumps on the way out. I now have to wait for pressure before starting the car... I have a gtir pump ready to install, thankfully. That makes it too much to do to get the turbo back in for the weekend.... by the time I detail it, inside and out it'll be satdee anyway....sorry guys
