Just introduced these lumps to each other, ready to drop in tomorrow eve once I get the cross member out the way. They seem to be getting on well... 
Sweeet 
Looking good, will you be turning the outlet through 90 degrees? have you a mapper in mind? [jeeez, sound like Daz
] can't recommend Bailey Motorsport enough. Good to see you again mate and keep us posted, looking forward to it. PS; nice touch on the wastegate feed less than 90 degrees.

Thanks - I'm not sure what real effect that actually has but read the Precision bumph faithfully and think as much as practicable of the optimums have been achieved. It's surprisingly difficult to get it all to hang just right; I really do need to learn to weld as I was dying to start cutting and shutting when the Mk I didn't quite line up. The very first sketch I did had a pair of siamesed wastegate feeds spurring at a very shallow angle off the two branches of the Y - Cliff went into meltdown when I asked him if he was up for making it initially Pupp said:

Would I get 30mpg with the Turbo fitted ?

Had a chat with Alex.
Told him that I have enough power and wasn't going to do any more to my lovely track tool.
Received a suggestion of sex and travel back.
Decided that IF I ever converted mine, I would take it completely to pieces, refurbish the chassis, change those ridiculous headlights, respray the body, re-trim the interior, and then replace everything else, the entire mechanical, electrical and cooling systems, with an LS engine, matching gearbox and LS compatible running gear, cooling and electricals.
After two years of watching Alex struggling to do it on a budget, and having seen the fantastic results that so many have achieved in so many ways, budgeting from the start to completely refresh the car seems to be the route of least agony and heartache, and for me (but I accept not for others), the LS route is the best solution to create a 21st Century Chimaera.
The only question is what could I buy with that sort of money?
Saw Braders' Vulcan Tuscan on Sunday.......
Do the Open University do a course on practical bank robbery?

Its much cheaper and simpler to fit a nitrous kit. Just saying 
I bet you have spent more than a turbo conversion on refils though.And all the messing around with refils would do my head in.
Great power though Derek you can't deny nitrous does work initial cost is low.
