No problem - I went through the exact same thing when I bought mine, thinking it was going to cost an arm and a leg, figured my valve body was on its way out.. and it turned out to be the convertor (before you say it Andy(Duff), yes, yes, you were right.. lol)..

Of course, you end up with a speedo in kph, and limited to 112mph.. D'oh ! Must get new faces for my clocks to make them 180mph (I have 300kph clocks), and a new ECU.. or something, to turn me back into MPH!

Project 1547 - Out of the Blue

What will you do with all the stuff you've removed? If you're thinking of recouping some costs, I may be interested in the HKS SMICs! 😉
Thanks Vig, I'll let you know! I left the HKS I/Cs for Jim to sell on.

Collected the car from PowerZed yesterday. Jim has spent many hours putting all the parts in the first two photos below onto the car and removing as much of the superfluous guff as possible. The car passed its MOT with flying colours and with the emissions well with limits. Jim emailed me after he took her for the MOT and to quote him "it behaved very well during the journey. It is very quick on boost even at wastegate pressure. You will be impressed I am sure" I'm a very happy bunny!
The trip back home was very wet so drove with due caution. I will take her out when conditions improve and I have plumbed the Racelogic traction control back into the new engine harness.
I'm very grateful to Jim for all he has done in getting the car to this stage of development in my ownership - a very big thank you!

Engine out and all the emissions guff, manifolds and old turbos coming off. Compression tests well within specs for a 90K miles engine.

Front of the car stripped down, old HKS SMICs, Recircs and pipe work removed.

New CHRA's with billet compressors installed into JWT 530BB turbos.

MSP exhaust manifolds installed with new engine mounts and modified brackets to clear AshSpec pipework.

JWT 530BB turbos mounted.

Work in progress - engine back in. RobZ 62mm TB's installed onto modified plenum. AshSpec 2.5" pipework going on and a lot of other new parts.

All back in and bolted up with the very clean and discreet OEM+ look I was after with the modifications.

Which continues with the new MAFs, GFB Recirculating BOVs and AshSpec 2.5" pipework under the nose panel. Again a very clean look.

Finally the man who made it all happen...
