update to turbo · Aussieveedubbers

Uncle Craig · 14 Apr 2011, 3:16 pm

been a while since I updated this. I have all the bits now for the turbo and have done a back yard bake on the headers. Had to maintain 180 degrees for 1 hr to bake hard. And boy is it hard. Turned out fantastic, hard, shinny, couldn't ask for a better finish. Have all the oil lines and Turbo on the way. Think I am going to thermo wrap headers and turbo exhaust hood to stop cooking the paint.

opps! thought I was adding to my previous thread. Not sure what I did. never mind.

Using a hooed BBQ - genius! The mrs can't stop us from using them like she can the oven.
