cheers thanks guys,

yeah the engine was too loud for the mic i will do another

a few little items manufactured tonight in the garage, first of all was how was i going to fill the engine with oil, solution make this from an old dizzy and a breather from a Hydraulic tank looks good me thinks



second was a mount for the tach and the boost gauge poped to B&Q and had a look through there metal stock and made this







last of all fitted the electronic boost controller into the dash



thanks for looking cheers andy

Top man, you must have some balls doing that to a Beetle engine. Get yourself down to RTTS, you'll be a God.

cheers getting there now but still loads to do

thats the charge cooler header tank and pump i have also fitted a drain valve that goes through the boot floor so i can drain the ice water from it.



i have been thinking about the water injection tank i want to hide as much as i can so my thoughts are to cut the fuel tank in about a 1/4 of the way along and weld a bulkhead into it, weld it back up with a second filler neck for the water injection what do you think?

cheers andy
