turbo-ghia troubleshooting part 3

 Ok so far what i know, is that the tube with the bow leaks a tiny bit of air, as i changed it to a straight pipe without welds or any BOW. now the tubes from the turbo to the end of intercooler is ok for me. BUT, today i tested the part from intercooler to the T-inatkemanifold, AND couldn't get any pressure to that. so the leak must be massive. i took it out of the ghia, as i want to get a better view what can be done, or is it useless... looks like the culprit is the china-throttle body. as it was before too. but i have to test it before I'm sure. IF the manifold setup is good from the T-shaped manifold, this thing could be running better one day. It was around -5 degree Celsius today, so my fingers were frozen in this hobby. i should get it to a warm garage, but there's ice and snow so picking up the ghia is not possible right now.

re check the 1 part of the tubing, with a better compressor, 

OK the bad part seems to be the part from china.

any better solutions?

new turbo - a garrett GT(X)35R

love it, this is for my black ghia, made for that engine. Tial turbine housing, will be great to see if this engine will get some extra UUMPH... later on of this. ;-)

Vw things going on...

Ok, 1. hopefully i get the missing parts from auto silicone hoses before friday to the post office, because at friday i would go to the "dark side"- meaning to see the black ghia. We have intentions to get the parts together, weld and grind etc... And because i will go to see the special welder dude, i will take this bad ass header with me if he has some spare time... The big wastegate would like to connect with the header... ;-) 

2. I've been fixing the blue ghias tail lights, cleaning, changing new bulbs etc... So that there would be light one day, at least at the back. ;-) will see how it turns out...

3. The blue verts front needs some new stuff to get it in shape, i was thinking that i could also assemble one spare adjustable, narroved front axle with theše parts, paint it and bolt it in the old ones place. Would be a cleaner job... Maybe even a bit easier....lets see how it goes...

4. Have to remember to take all the stuff concerning the black ghia...especially the silicone ones.

5. Also cant forget the bad ass bus engine... I wish i had new race rods for that engine, because the rods might be one issue later to bolt one turbokit on it...

But anyways, keep on checking for updates, i have a feeling that they will be plenty again....
