well not much has changed its been in storage as fuel injectors started to leak,have sourced some early low impedance vg30et white injectors.just got to get them to fit as thay have a diffrent return set up.and also got a air research vg30 turbo as well it has a bolt on wastegate on it.will get picks of injectors and turbo tomorow.

That looks like a VG30ET turbo, it's a good thing you got the type with the wastegate flapper in the middle piece rather than the ones built into the downpipe. Those injectors are crazy, look like some sort of early attempt at a top feed/side return system?
