Once its done no problem.
Back in the Monkey cave this weekend. I hope to have a big fat update Monday on the car.
The finger is healing well.

Busy busy day at the monkey cave.
It's been 2 steps forward 1 back!
The turbo and oil system works ok after previous worrys about damaging it! It's not and the oil system works. The feed pump is a bit to powerful. I need something that provides less flow and lower presure. Or my bleed off system needs a bigger valve.
So all good. I swapped my droop links another job done. Then I started to conecting up the lines on the new rack! And the rack pump and resiviour are good. But the lines to connect it up?! Nope I have all sorts but not the right ones. So I need to order new ones. Then found that both return and feed pipes to the radiator both have issues. So not bad but still lots to do.
I did replace the blead nipples on the rear calipers with no problems witch is good news. Last time we did that in our workshop the casting broke on a caliper the night before a track day!!

Wish me well turbo z4 fans it might be alive and running this Sunday. If all goes well. Stuart T was an absolute legend and finished my piggy back wiring Monday. I have an AFR gauge to fit steering pipes coolant pipes and a few other things to check and finish. All being well mapping will be started. Then to insure MOT shake down and big smokey burnouts!?

The turbo oil feed has I think been sorted time will tell Sunday. But yeah as long as there are no nasty problems it should be done and in the road on the next few weeks.
Good to hear, bet you’re like a kid at Christmas waiting to get this finished now!

Hope all goes well mat, what changes have you made to the engine breather system to cope with the forced induction?
Rob
What are you spicificly referring too?
Idle control has been an issue. But we have 2 options in that. And working out the rest as we go.

Ah I see I have a catch can and venting set up yet to see if it all works. Again one of the what if things.

Can't wait to meet up for a drive buddy
sorry for this being delayed buddy.... been a busy weekend.
excuse the order of the pics but basically from the cam cover, we go to the bottom of the oil catch can, its filled with 4 discs with differing size wholes to catch the blow by, it then has to travel up the can to the top which as you can see connects to the inlet of the blower in my case. The catch can is billet and is beautifully constructed , it even has its own dip stick , lol!!
