They cum with the intercooler when I brought it and all the other piping is blue samcos under the bonnet so I thought I'd leave them on almost there now nasty creak from rear tho bushes maybe ??

Could be. If polybush, more grease (copperslip, silicone grease, etc.).

Thanks dark_crusader its been years since I've done a project ive had all sorts of old school turbos fords mainly but the uno turbo I had was one of my favourites surprised everyone I took in it
they are hard to come by now and this punto came up local to me so I thought why not only a few more weeks of messing with it and I should be on the road just hope we have a nice summer with plenty of sun :thumbup:
Ahhh the Uno Turbo that was one I always wanted when I was a Student, insurance killed that idea though lol an Uno Turbo project has been quietly turning in the background though have to see how I fair with the HGT reboot I'm doing ATM
I don't know how far you live oldskoolhero hero, but what are the chances of your motor making it to Autoitalia at Brooklands in May?
Slim or Annorexic?

Well im from the midlands but im feeing some shows later on in the year autoitalia sound good to me where about in the uk is that ?
Whereabouts in the midlands??? its not a small place afterall lol..
brooklands is just inside M25, M4 side.. https://goo.gl/maps/0jcxp
stanford hall is in summer and prob the biggest event for the forum each year - held at stanford hall, https://goo.gl/maps/Vphnq
and mitcar (standing for midlands italian car day) is usually well attended by the forum, its moves every year but is at Rockingham circuit this year i believe.
And check the events section in general for local meets.
