love the attention to detail. this thing is awesome where can i get my hands on one of those billet thermostat housings? and how much? also will you be able to achieve the correct timing belt tension with the tensioner in the original location?

amazing

looking awsome mate! always loved this car from back in the day, now looks like ur making it even better! big thumbs up so far SUXGAS! hope to see it out soon!

Beautiful bro. Your car is a work of art and a credit to all the people who've put in the effort. Love the manifold. Convo pro's, tubbed, calais, nice simple colour...... Looks fat, cant wait to see it. Makes me want to tub my car now.

I love how the turbo fits in the bay, not even a hole in the bonnet! looks *** awesome man, cant wait to see it again Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I was going to wait until i finished of my inlet manifold but i couldn't help myself. HPC coated and ready to go....

This is a GT4508R with a TIAL housing. It is usually mistaken for a GT47 because of the comp cover. The comp covers are the same from GT45 - GT55. The way to spot the difference from the GT45 to the 47 is the core, The 47 is not water cooled. TIAL housing's are available for just about any garrett turbocharger from GT28 all the way up to GT45. ---------- Post added 08-06-10 at 19:04 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by MBHSV5 [View Post] love the attention to detail. this thing is awesome where can i get my hands on one of those billet thermostat housings? and how much? also will you be able to achieve the correct timing belt tension with the tensioner in the original location? Thanks for your comments. The billet housing i had 4 years ago and i'll most likely be making my own. Great spot with the tensioner yes it will have correct tension once its tightened. ---------- Post added 08-06-10 at 19:11 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by GAS747 [View Post] I love how the turbo fits in the bay, not even a hole in the bonnet! looks *** awesome man, cant wait to see it again I still have 30mm clearence from the top of the comp cover to the bonnet. There was no difference in the way it looked when it was maxed out so we prefered the clearence. I'll still have a solid mounted motor regardless that will help with the billet clamps. It will be back soon but not before yours Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

fk that exhaust manifold is insane!!! looks awesome painted...
