MK1 Turbo diesel

good work mick!

what intercooler is that, looks just like what i need for the G60

Just a few pictures to show progress , cracked on fo finish for billing.

That looks like a beaut' - liking the oil burner.  Planning a GTD or AAZ 1.9 in my van later in the summer once I find a doner engine with less that 120K on it.

Be good to see at billing - will be on the lookout for it

Cheers

Nice job mate, very clean.

Looks like you've done some work to the LDA pin - any other pump mods?

I'd have kept the 1.6 myself,  I'm building a 150 brake mk1 TD.

How did you get the motor and pump so clean?
