That's the type of tee pieces you need, 3/4 tee pieces with 4 3/4 to 19mm tails and 2 3/4 to 13mm tails

This pipe might help with your oil return as is came off a gt28 Turbo and its a Ktec oil return pipe

Can do both items for £55 posted?

 

[Tom-173]

Small update, got all intercooler pipework, just waiting on an intercooler and 225 injectors and its a long drive up north for some mapping
Need too re route oil feed and sort guages ect but its coming on nicely

What's it cost you up to now? Just in looking into a similar build

 

[Tom-173]

Ive tryed not too keep track tbh.. Its quite worrying lol! Before i started, i priced bits up and timed the job ect and thought i could do it 'cheap' but turns out, you cant. Id say im around 2..2.5k with a thew bits left and mapping. Ive done it all myself too so no labour included in that. Hope that helps

 

[Tom-173]

Out of interest, would anyone buy this as is? Long story but i may be selling up. Just testing water atm...

 

[boom]

Would you split it mate?

 

[DannyR]

DON'T SELL until you've completed it!

 

[Andyrg@ ClioTurbo]

[Tom-173]

Love seeing Andy's updated on fb really tempted on asking him to have a look at mine to save me the hassle as I'm losing interest

 

[Tom-173]
