am trying to set up a camera to do a decent vid-as soon as the standalone is in will do a nice vid if i can find a co-pilot to hold the camera or a decent way of mounting it. the garage that have done all the work will also be available to others for turbo conversions and also on a few diff makes models. will release their details with final pictures/vids e.t.c.

Looking excellent !

Glad you took my advise, as if Andy's car was anything to go by, it will certainly pin you to your seat on boost from my experience :devil:

As per Auto Italia article, the way how it pulled so cleanly, little lag, yet violent boost you will love it

Great stuff, though loads more pic, detail on the build needed.

Look forward to the vids.

quick test drive tonight on boost and all mechanical stuff done.......having that much fun suprisingly didnt cost me as much as i thought! its going to be seriously quick-most of the times i couldnt find a great place to open him up-corners always arrive too fast. finishing touches like ecu at end of week, debadging e.t.c. then he's ready to show.

will do a full write up and vids, photos e.t.c and details of who did the work e.t.c. if anyone needs any work done with conversions. For now im off to bed.....meh its only work where's my car keys! lol

will you be at any of the shows to show it off?

i'll be there at next big one aye m8! i missed stanford hall unfortunately-car was off road.

going to mitcar? or do you mean gaydon?

mitcar yes and gaydon too probably havent looked at the details for that one yet

awesome
Wonder if selling a kidney would help me pay for a turbo conversion

so far since its gone in i havent really pushed it hard but put it this way-the mechanic drives an AC cobra and when he took it round the block to check boost was getting to right limit and feeling in gearbox and listen to how it sounded e.t.c. he came back with a huge smile on his face! i think his words describing the engine were 'it was saying to me all the time if you want to go then let's go! ' It goes to jamsport next week and no doubt they'll do a fine job of tuning the nuts off it!

I have looked into this before, to many rules to actually sell a kidney i'm afraid. You can't buy and sell organs Good job i already have a turbo conversion on my car

Panda is now at jam-sport getting last few bits done and mapped-lets see how he goes!

Curious... first pictures were upside down, and the later one of the intercooler is backwards

But looks like a great job and lots of fun!

i know its been a bit hap-hazard but will do a full write up on it as soon as its finished and more details about the project e.t.c. easiest way to come see it though will be at the shows and stuff i imagine!

You could have had such a good thread with this project. Far better to write it up, post pics as you go along as then you get to see all the trials and tribulations that comes with such a project.

This could have been one of the most interesting threads on the Panda forum at the moment. Look at Lewey's thread (or maybe even mine on the non-Fiat section) for a bit of inspiration!

I hope you do a great write up and look forward to reading it.

yeah but lewey actually does most the work himself, so he can take pictures and experienced the problems and how to overcome them. Agree with you the build thread could have been much more interesting but its harder when someone else is doing the building. If you weren't there doing it then you can't take photo's etc.

Just make sure you take alot of pictures and vids for us addicts

Get them to take photos, pop into the garage and take pics etc. This is what I do if my car is in the bodyshop.

Not rocket science.

When we built the track ITR and Megablade, my Dad soon got annoyed when I constantly asked him to stop so I could take another photo!

Perhaps it's different with a workshop where you are paying?

ECU-standalone go-tech mfi pro x is in today i beleive. taking photo's and all that can be a pain aye-the mechanics never took kindly to it!
