Right got the car back Tues at 10.30am started work at 12.00 then its snowed and rained ever since so i'll wash it and get some better photo's ASAP.
Print out from RR. please note the car was mapped on 95ron. also the boost now comes in at 3500 to red line, the actuator on that photo had no preload.
Cooler
I'd like to thank Andyrg for his hard work
and recommend him to anyone looking into any work they are planning.
There is still a few bits and bobs to finish off/change which will be done in the next couple of weeks.

Yes, yes you do!

Trophy Turbo :)
Your welcome tom. The unexpected issues took so much time. Hence why I ran out of time to finish the little paint bits etc.

No worries mate, it will get there
Lovely car chap - good to meet you as well

Looks brilliant mate. :thumbup: :thumbup:
My wheels need a refurb and will definitely get them done in a similar colour, look good on the LY. Shade darker than standard looks great.
This turbo conversion looks tempting...... Wife would kill me I think though. Lol.
How do you find the car now? How's it handle? Need a upgrade diff now or does it hold ok in bends?

cheers, yeah I like the dark grey wheels on ly too, suits it better than black IMO, Car drives very well with extra power
Was tempted to spray mine black but Def gonna go for a dark grey. Anthracite their in now is a shade too light. Cheers

Good stuff
How reliable has it been since you've had it done? IS it your daily?
I reaaaally want this doing to mine but concerned about how reliable as it'd be my daily!

Are uprated engine mounts not recommended on the turbo kit?
LY 182 Turbo
Reliability has not been an issue, 1 night a boost pipe popped off but that was an easy fix plus it hasn't happened since. Its my daily drive so done quite a few miles now. Only real issue I have is an oil leek which I can't find. but I think its a 94k mile engine issue rather than turbo conversion issue
Mines not been upgraded as you can see in the photo, doesn't seem to bother it tho, needed a couple of washers under the engine mount to help the manifold clear the sub frame. Also its had a poly dog bone fitted

This build is amazing, I've always wanted to do this to mine but due to house stuff I haven't.

Carbon trim is very nice, mine has LY painted strips but the gear knob and wheel insert are carbon
LY 182 Turbo
I thought about doing mine yellow but I decided I wanted some Carbon, less in my face.

I need to get the dial surround out and liquid yellow that too, then my interior will be finished, oh and also the roof retrim in alacantra. Then it'll be done
LY 182 Turbo

Liquid Yellow 182
Not yet, I need to get around to doing one though, when I do I'll post it
