Willy's Mini

[DomMINIque]

You using the MG metro manifold?

[Willy]

Yip Metro everything. Will eventually go with a more modern turbo, but for not old school lag.

[Willy]

Sooooo.

First drive. Stil no pictures.

But the sound of a T3 spooling up with no filter and just the down pipe fitted is stupid cool.

[DomMINIque]

Everything running fine?

[Willy]

Uhm, yes, she starts, runs, doesn't get warm.

Had a little oil leak from the oil return line on the turbo. would have been better if I didn't only hand tighten the two bolts. That sorted I will hopefully get a exhaust fitted in the week.

Brilliant Wian.

That Turbo system shure has done its rounds, since it came in, in my hand luggage in March 1999.

Mark Forster bought it for me, in the UK.

I then flew over for a long weekend as my wife a the time, worked for British Airways, so it was cheaper for me to fly and fetch, than get it shipped over LOL.

Scott Hastie then had it for a few year.... like 15 or more, never used it, then i bought it, and bought more parts for it, then i to sold it on, to Dion in CT, Dion then as you know, fried a piston, and now its yours.

Really glad to see up and running man. good job.

[Willy]

Thanks guys.

Sean it has done the rounds for sure. Hopefully it has found its home for good now. And it brings a smile every time it starts spooling up.
