Update

Thanks for the info about the turbo. We gonna run with stock turbo now (at this stage), a new turbo is a must

in the future. We have done alot of work on the car; exhaust system, intercooler plumbing, radiator from a BMW, mounted fule pressure gauge, front spoiler modification (to fit the intercooler), relocated the battery to the trunk. And the list goes on. We are working to start the engine in about 2-3 weeks

* Exhaust

We have build a downpipe from the stock downpipe, it goes from stock diameter to 3''. We have one big muffler in the middle and a DTM style end muffler.

* Radiator 

The radiator is from a BMW.

* Intercooler

First start up attempt

On Friday we did a start up attempt, but we run in some trouble. First we got leakage in a fuel line (a connection in the fule line was damage), but we repaired it quickly. Then we did some more tries to get the motor started, then the second problem appeared. The strobe lamp that we have to adjust the timing of ignition broke. We have bought a new strobe lamp and gonna do some more checks and try to start it up soon.

Update

It runs!

We run into some more problem with leaking fule connection but we fix it. The main problem why it diden't start the first time was some electric issue and we diden't have a working storbe lamp. We have to do some more checks before we can do a test drive. Check oil pressure and ignition timing when boost is added.

No test drive yet, have to rebuild the exhaust system... the car is to low (front exhaust muffler is the lowest point) and the OEM turbo is leaking oil. 

So we decided to modify/rebuild the exhaust system and purchase a new turbo. We won't risk any thing and

test drive the setup now.
