Mine used to have a Dulux sticker on the strut tower with the paint code - if you don't have this then you can do one of two things; post a pic of your car and I'm sure someone here can help identify it. Or if you're wanting paint made up, simply take the gas flap into a paint shop and they should be able to colour match it, or even tell you the colour.

All the latter model blocks got the Turbo holes,Just saved the factory from doing two seperate lots,And no not a series 2 mod(no such thing) as this was done just as a running change.

I would place another gauge direct,And see if that gauge is correct(or sender).But pressure at 1850 rpm is 274kpa(hot)and above that is good.But your oil bypass should be about 69kpa.
Cheers Marty
ps about 40 psi and 10 psi for the bypass valve

Use a mechanical one,(Pump in an oil line to check)Cost about 15 bucks from Repco,Just an easy way to check if all is well.

Doing a turbo conversion with VLT manifold, VLT injectors, RB20det turbo. Wondering what ECU to run? Stay with the NA ECU or i have a LINK ECU - LEM V3 i could wire in, or buy a VLT ECU from ebay ?

depends what power you wanting to get. i ran a vl n/a ecu chipped to vlt spec and it ran idenical to the factory vlt ecu i also had.
be limited to what you can do then though-200kw max.
thats just cheap way of doing it. if you want to do up grades along the way once boost bug hits then go straight to aftermarket ecu.
just my 2 cents. good luck
