Thanks mate. The clearance to the A/C compressor is greater than than the pictures suggest. My R33 setup off my black car is closer, and that has been fine for 12 months. It's not too much of a concern to me, as this car will not be having the dump pipe glowing red hot day in, day out. It is more of a 'get me to work and to customers sites' kind of car. I just like to have fun along the way
The turbo itself I'm not excactly sure what it is. I know it's from a Shilvia of some descript, and it's as I bought it. I'm assuming by looking at it that it is a T25G, as it has a .48 comp cover and .64 exhaust housing. The oil inlet has been made up using some brass tubing braised onto a fitting to suit the turbo and a cut up VJ8 fitting. It works well for what it is as it alows you to use a stock oil feed line. The water lines are standard garret fittings with water lines attached. The oil return line I had attached originally had less than 20mm of material for the oil return line to attach to. But luckily enough, the internal oil drain size was the same as the stock VJ11 item. I basically got to the ends of the stock fitting with an angle grinder to make slots instead of holes and used some RTV red and bolted it on. Fitted well. I just needed to use a longer piece of oil return line to get it to the stock return fitting in the block. Like it was meant to be. The pressure outlet side has had a round outlet welded to the top to suit a 2" silicone joiner, perfect again. The dump pipe is pretty rough, but it works.
