Thanks heaps for the article post up.
Quick question, were did you get your oil feed from?
Guessing you had to go over the other side of the engine, after the filter?
A pic or description would be awesome

For those that have done it, did you go with a carbon seal'd turbo, or just a normal one and dealt with the leaking oil lol?

thanks heaps for the replies guys, and thanks dave for posting that article up!

You wouldn't happen to have any pictures of just the manifold would you?

That car drove farkn hard, loved it...but it had constant issues tho.

I remember taking that car out one night and it was pissing out blow-by from under the bonnet like a chimney

I remember when I first read that article, it was my first insight into Lawson's ugly face.

oil feed can come from the hole for the pressure gauge sender in the block, or you can buy a sandwich plate and do it properly...

depends on if its a suck threw or blow threw set-up as to if you have trouble or not. some turbo's handle it better than others.. but if your doing a dodgy ghetto set-up who cares?

just for laughs.

i just read that article, and holy boost batman 20psi!!!! how long did that last?? and was it stock internally?

Does it matter? I thought the idea of doing super ghetto turbo setups was just to have a laugh until the motor blew, forcing you to put something good in!

one of the motors lasted quite a long time considering...

and yes, the motor is 100% stock
