Yes mate and as Jon says flipped. Had it done by a friend of Jon's and it was spot on welding work. Test fitted the engine before it was done to make sure it was spot on.

Not a massive update today as missing some bits to move on massively. Fitted front ARB into place today. Spent the rest of the time we had on mocking up the inter-cooler pipe work and test fitting the rad and fans. All fits into place nicely.
Got to get a few bits of pipework and silicone together and next time it'll be fitted in place.

Great thread. what an enjoyable and realistic read. I love how you openly state the issues you have. Real world project instead of other ones i have looked at that purely show the progress.
Kudos sirs for your combined efforts and progress to date Tobe

Thanks a lot Tobe for the kind words mate. Much appreciated. Won't be able to work on her now till a week on Sunday so have got a little time to get all the pipework and bits I need to finish off the intercooler and rad set-up.
Will update soon.

Cheers Huggy,
I am not too fussed about bhp tbh. I was thinking around the 250 mark maybe but I don't want to go too mad and make it too unreliable

why put a k04 with a high flow mani if you ant bothered bout bhp . should of kept k03 or go k03s …..250 bhp you be getting more than that on that set up. my advice get a electroinc boost controller 3 settings 1st 200bhp 2nd 250bhp 3rd mmm u can push it to 300bhp . get diff and you have a animalsmudger1980 said

I'm not going to be maxxing it out Pete tbh mate. I am after a little bit of reliability and have heard the standard internals of an AGU are only good for about 280bhp which will be my ceiling I think to work towards. As always it's a learning curve so i'll be guided by r-tech when it's ready to be mapped

Andy might join you in strengthening the engine at some point.
