Yet Another Turbo Upgrade Project

[Nellie]

Wayne,

That looks like a nice piece of work

What impact does it have on the boot floor? do you have to make much in the way of modifications to get the floor back in?

Hi Nellie;

Yes I have to modify the boot insert.

The semi-circular "bump out" to allow for the flat tire has to go away. I intend to make a complete replacement (ABS-not a big deal) so as not to destroy the original boot insert. Many steps to this project, but I should have a "real intercooler" system when done. The goal is to have sustainable boost and timing basically forever, based on a whole bunch of parameters.

That looks great Wayne! I'm glad things are working out on it.. Funny how we all come up with different solutions for this eh?

Hi Mark,

Yes there's only so many ways to "cut the cake" with all the constraints imposed by the packaging. I my case I had to relocate the heater lines down out of the way, rotate the clutch slave cylinder 180 *, build a new header tank, and re-shape the boot insert, in addition to building the intercooler, piping and header tank for the intercoolers.
