hello, ive been watching jwallers post on his turbo fitment and today i finnished fitting one to my 816 and ran it for about one hour. the donor engine was a 290 with a holset turbo approx 85mm inlet and 120mm exh outlet. fuel pump had previously been tweaked a little. have made up piping to use original inlet manifold for now just to see how it goes so i dont have to cut bonnet yet and will prob fit correct pressure crossover/inlet if/when happy with it and will then modify bonnet to suit.had to move/modify coolant header tank and at moment is running with no exh silencer and consequently sounds great and whistles more than m35. havent drove on road yet due to time today. due to no intercooler have covered all piping with thermo sleeve to minimise under bonnet temps on air intakepipes so will see how it goes. ?it would be good to hear how jwallers is going?. thanks martin
