UPDATE:
17th November 2008
I haven't had a camera for the past couple of weeks but the FORGE FMIC is fitted to the Fabia (pics soon) And this morning its new Turbo Turbo up
Its a Allard VT2 (Based on the GARRATT PD130 Turbo and reworked so it can flow enough air for up to 225bhp) my standard Turbo is a KKK.
And also this arrived... And EGR Valve blanking kit.
Planning to fit the bits next weekend so watch this space... lol

No, im afraid the money I had ready to spend on the Corsa has just gone on the Fabia Unfortunetely the Fabia needed the money on it first... Not that it needed a bigger Turbo though... Just thought if im going to the effort of buying a new one... Might as well make it a goodun

UPDATE:
22nd November 2008
Lots to report. Firstly the car got vandalised last weekend (4 slashed tyres and a scratch down the whole of one side hence the steel wheels on her for the time being).
I've temperally took the car off the road for a week or two to fit all the tasty new bits i've got.
First off Turbo removal...
Inlet manifold & inlet pipe are covered in black soot from the blowing exhaust manifold
EGR and Anti shudder valve which are being replaced with a piece of pipe
Finally a few pics of my FORGE FMIC that I fitted 2 weeks ago
You can see the crack in the Exhaust manifold in this pic
And some pics of the damage down the passenger side
4 punctured tyres with the new ones ready to fit
Inlet manifold covered in soot (going to get these cleaned out as there full of a mixture of oil & soot)
Brought some of this on good recommendation so we'll see if it does anygood once the cars mapped
My nice new Milltek Largebore De-CAT pipe
Time to get the old Turbo out
New GARRATT VT2 vs Old Standard KKK
Spot the crack! lol
One sooted up bulkhead because of the leak
More progress tomorrow.....

I know what its like to have a car vandalised, really does take the piss - my tyres were fine, but pretty much every panel on the car was badly keyed instead.
You going to be cleaning up the bulkhead best you can?

Can't believe people still go around keying cars. Was it parked in a dodgy area, near the entrance to someones houes, someone with a grudge?
Pretty shitty.

UPDATE:
4th December 2008
Had the day off work today to try and get the Turbo and bits fitted on the Fabia as I need it for work next week.
Collected the Inlet manifold and Inlet pipe which had been cleaned out by a local company
Had a plug made up so im no longer re-circulating the Rocker cover breather into the inlet (will vent to atmosphere instead)
Fitted my EGR replacement pipe
Picked up my wheels with fresh YOKO Parada's fitted
Fitted the EGR Blanking plate on the new Turbo
All ready to fit Turbo
Turbo Torqued into position
Inlet Manifold ready to go on
And fitted... Along with new Stainless Boost hose to replace standard plastic one
And that was as far as I got today. Now awaiting a nice piece of 90degree reducing Samco to turn up tomorrow to connect the pipes together with.
Onto a friends car... You might remember seeing the Turbo for this engine a few pages back Well the engines now fitted (3.3 R32 Lump with major internal work)
This is potentially a 10sec 1/4 mile, 200mph Bora (its actually geared for 220 if it had the power) Its going to look pretty much stock (apart from the wheels and R32 Brakes) and have full interior.
And my friend who owns a bodyshop's Porker

No mate, there both off the road. Mine hasn't seen the road yet (ran out of money) and the Van lost oil pressure so is in need of some TLC before next years shows.
