I've played around with a draw through setup before on an A14, so I've got a baseline in mind for the setup and tune. We didn't have too much trouble with the other setup once we got a handle on the tune and got control of the detonation - but we set that up from scratch with absolutely no turbo experience beforehand, and we learnt alot along the way with that.

Running wet manifolds offers a crude form of intercooling, and a water injection system as we used previously is very effective also.

I don't know too many specifics on the actual engine yet, but it will be pulled down for inspection before it goes in obviously. and I'll have to have a look at the dissy's current setup as part of the inital tune even before I take it over to the dyno for final sorting. If the Jaycar kit can't do what I want, I'll use the same dissy setup I had on the old turbo A14 a few years ago, and I've got an idea to improve on that also.

Someone has obviously spent alot of time and money on doing it correctly judging by the quality of the fabrication work and some of the parts like the oil cooler, forged pistons, and the external wastegate etc. So hopefully it won't need much more than a freshen up and a little fine tuning.

Wish I didn't have to finish off the fencing around the backyard this weekend, or I'd be getting stuck straight into it!
