and so far I am absolutely loving it.
Here's the build in a very condensed form!
First things first... bay respray, unused bolt holes filled in, fuse box tucked, and a massive hole welded in with new metal:
Turbo arrives and instantly gets taken apart:
eBay KLDE is cleaned up and water pump replaced:
manual TBT welded up:
Turbo pipes test fitted:
Up pipe extended to clear frame rails:
Downpipe modded to tuck in and up more:
Wastegate flange chopped off and replaced with 41mm TiAL f41 WG flange:
Cross member tucked as high as possible and rewelded:
RS200 radiator bought, and adjusted for mx3 fitment (opposite corner outlets reTigged on, holes blanked, custom mounts) and pressure tested:
Twinpass intercooler with super short IC piping as the shorter radiator allowed them to pass up the side of it, with new bracked welded on:
Why use silicone couplers when you can tig
