Thanks ! whenever i get back up there ill wire in two swtches one for parks and one for dims and leave the rest of the unit as it should be and hopefully that will work ,
I hope nct are the same , our version of mot , but theyd do you for anything they could in an nct here , iv seen once where they failed a mate because in his 3 door car he had seat covers and they "couldnt work " the leaver on side for it to come forward for back passengers to get it , so they get there money for a retest ! its only a money racket in our country

Alll these jobs are 10 times easier with the right tools ! Now we're talking 
my friend has a DOE centre ( testing for commercials ) so we used the testing equipment to see what needs doing pre nct , not too much in need of doing , brake lines and few bits , worked on front brakes and loads of other small bits today

No its just WK , ill have to have another look tomorrow , i wasnt sure how to seperate it , didnt want to do harm ha i took apart the carb but didnt know how the jett seperates from the spring loaded unit, :/ i took a screw out from side but still no budge ? I was afraid to do damage to something iv waited for for so long ,

Will the su piston ever be fully down in its operation? Iv been polishing it but it gets a little stiff when it gets near full closure
EDIT :
It turns out its not the piston , theres a little collar around the needle which the screw tightens against, and the screw was tightened against the split in it and it broke , so the needle was out of line , so to make or buy new !

If its not carbon sealed iirc it'll pull oil through the turbo and smoke like buggery....as well as drinking your oil! lol

Applying for an aprenticeship for a heavy vehicles mechanic , have an interview coming next month , if i get that instead of college iv a lot planned for this car !!! But turbo seems very possible , iv got all the tools i need to fabricate a mani and all its seems easyily done for what you get out of it !
its seems easyily done for what you get out of it !Thanks for the heads up
IIrc you want the carb as close to the turbo as possible but slightly above to avoid fuel pooling

Just coped on aswell the turbo will be running full time with this set up ! Im sure i could machine adapter plates, then get 45 mm internal steel pipe , cut ends at an angle and weld on the plates , keeping it close to turbo but yet higher , and yes Ade there is one way to find out just would rather not make **** of something ah well fook the social life my car is my priority after my exams ( which start in the morning ) and here's me planning a bit of forced induction

In the week off thrashing about In my turbo beasty, everything held up fine, good knows what power it had, stupidly quick from how I bought it, to what I got it too, that's with a 4 speed box too.
Then that cable tied throttle cable decides to ruin everything
I'm still using the same box and shafts for the cg conversion
So think it'll be fine.
Look into k11 hubs, for bigger breaks, think you'll need k11 track ends too, this is what I'm gunna use
