HI all,

If anyone is interested ill post my pics for the install of an atr43g3 turbo from a factory standard install. First things first remove the old turbo. easy as except removing the water lines ( it does take a bit of force) and also move your power steering out the way.

I already had the turbo out before i took the pic's sorry :)

All i did was unbolt the airbox piping and airbox and cooling pipes going to the turbo and plenum and than unbolt the 6 bolt flange. This all in all didn't take too long.

After that remove the oil lines and water lines on the turbo ( u will need a bit of force for the water lines) also slide the powersteering bottle off the bracket and just move it away for the time being.

I had to get some longer exhaust flange nuts because of the spacer. ( you will need an extra gasket for this as well ) I also did a trial fit and had to knock out the tower slightly in order for it to fit.

No heres the tricky part i want to retain most of my existing set up so i am getting bits made up to look stock as possible. I can use half of the original intake pipe but i will have a 3 inch ali piping going up into it so it will not suck shut. You will need a 4inch to 3 inch silicon converter, and some 3 inch piping ( which will be getting ali welded to fit the plumb back pipe and hose going to the catch can. This is currently getting being made and will post more once parts have arrived.

it's safe to drive the car with that turbo provided you run low boost and don't floor it too much. tune wise on the stock ecu it will be safe but it would just be getting close to hitting the airflow protection, which would just making it annoying to drive. if you already have an aftermarket ecu with a tune on it then the same would apply (low boost and don't give it the beans much) but you lose the added safety of built in overboost protection.

but to simply bolt the turbo on and drive to the tuner would be fine as long as you take it easy.

you taking it to gary to get tuned?

ahahaha, yeah injectors are a pain to change, especially if you don't remove the plenum (found that one out the hard way).

yeah the rain is a bit of a pain at the moment. if this rain that is predicted over the next few days actually does happen then you may find you aren't able to get here, as well as gary's workshop having a few feet of the river in it, LOL. very high chance of it flooding if we get a few days of decent rain.

OK update,

water feeds are now on as well as oil feeds. I spent about 9 hours trying to get standard water feeds to line up with NO success . I had to cut them and put piping in in order for them to bolt on.

Just found another set back turns out the 4-3 inch pipe has not been sent even though i payed for it on saturday. Turns out the supplier had not recieved the email from paypal. Looks like this puppy wont be ready for xmas excuse me while i scream....

All in all i wouldnt recommend doing it urself unless u had some one to help because i did most of the work by myself and things can get very difficult. overall if u have some mech experience ( unlike me ) u will be fine it just took me about 10 times as long :)

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
