Almost forgotten about this! All the nuts and studs were rotten, and theres no access at all, basically would have had to take the head off, which gave me the arseache hence why I left it till we had a chance, well the chance came albeit a good while later and we had another go. Made a custom spanner and with a bit of hammering from all angles and the bastids came out. :-D Now the issue is, I've got a NOS turbo technics kit, so going to use those manifolds, turbos, and downpipes. The turbo technics kit says you have to lower the compression before fitting the kit and runs a bit more boost. So the plan is to use the turbo technics cooler and pipework as well as the Mosselman intercooler and fueling. Going to make a new exhaust for it, got some H&R springs, and 4 pot calipers as well. ;D See how we get on...

;D Cheers, I've actually put on smaller turbos - T2s, as that what was fitted back in the day at the dealership. The mosselman kit came with T25s.

Couldn't get both the intercoolers in, as its so tight, and the outlets on the mosselman face completley the wrong way, didn't want to modify it so had to make a couple of very tight 180degree U bends out of stainless.
Sounds obscene without an exhaust, forgot how much I love this car!

Reckon there can't be more than 10 in UK with Mosseleman TT. Most TT conversions were Hughes of Beaconsfield

Brutal. What sort of power do you expect it to be making with the T2's?
