RS Rage Turbo project (MC Express)

[The Viking]

It snowing a lot here in our area in Sweden now.... so I need to hurry now with the Turbo assembly as you can see on the pic....

 

[SIMMER]

You know what kills me.....talk to the guys who sell these things and they'll tell you "Installing a Turbo is EASY".. YEAH RIGHT! :ORC

With my technical aptitude, I wouldn't even attempt that!

Take the hood off and stand it in the corner! If that was me I would have it on my head a dozen times by now!lol RR ps nice woofers under the bench.

It´s not difficult but a lot of work it is.... what´s worse is one part was missing in the delivery.. the adapter between the the oil filter and engine for conecting the lubrication to the turbo. That means no ride yet....
But next weekend hopefully..

 

[The Viking]

finally I´ve got the missing adapter. Hopefully can I start the assembly on Friday and do the first test run on Saturday... (long friday night there will be I suppose).
Attach a pic of the turbo mounted.

they said its suppose to take 3 days...atleast thats what my dealer said. personally if i spent 5k on a turbo i'd spend the extra 1k to have someone set it up right

Finally ready to run... after total 18 effective hours of work... and a lot of help from Mr. jack Daniels of course..( need to keep us hot in our cold garage)
The turbo works really great, have been driving it for 400 km (250 miles) now.
so next weekend the Swedish mountain is waiting for us...

 

[Yama-Crazy]

let us know how it does in the mountains...curious if it can climb some steep grades.
