Thanks Guys for your advice, the black smoking problem (over fuelling) i had after meeting a bramble bush was caused by a damaged intercooler.

cheers for your help. :dance: :dance:

Would you have still needed to grind the oil tree if you had realised the clocking beforehand?

So managed to clock the drivers side turbo and it matches up a lot better and the actuator no longer touches the oil tree.
However it took me two hours to strip everything back off to get to the bolts on just one of the turbos to fix this.

Infact when i test fit the top pipes one is too close and the other is way out.
i think the new turbos are miss clocked for this engine, and need rotated.
That likely explains why on the drivers side the turbo actuator is fowling the oil tree.

Houston we have a problem !
Was hoping to get the rest of the engine sorted today with a view of putting it in tomorrow.

However i have discovered that the drain oil pipes from the turbos as way off.
Too long on the driver side and too short on the passenger side.

I always loved the red and yellow logo and still have t-shirts and fleece with it on.
Was always eye catching and contrasting whatever it was placed on.
