Put the boost pipe in her mouth and do her dry whilst revving the engine   
   
 
And use your phone to take a vid and make a cocky nod at the camera when your finished

What a fucking mess  .    Piping goes nowhere, except to an interooler under the scuttle panel, and a dump valve    .  Dont even go anywhere near the inlet  . 
 
Would love to know who did this conversion, cause they need shooting for showing such stupidity towards a car  .  They also charged the numbnut £4k to do it  .

thing is, wheres the turbo? i cant see one for shizzle   
 
only thing i can see is that the pipes all go to an IC near the scuttle, which looks like the jobby for the heaters???     
 
Although it must be piped in correctly, otherwise the DV wouldn't go off on gear changes?

you can see the turbo under the actuator arm.... 
 
the pipe work from the tubo to the IC is ok.... but where on earth does it go after that? 
 
Under the turbo and round to the airfilter to 'blow' on it

i ask this and got this answer 
 
You asked: 
"who did the conversion coz that is not a cali turbo engine! n were the hell are all those pipes going to!" 
 
The pipes go to the intercooler it was temp placed there as I was planning on gettin a large intercooler at a later date but couldnt afford it at the time. I have better pics of the engine bay showing the gate valve etc, or you can come an look for yourself if you like.

Intake is at atmospheric pressure due to the filter, turbo is doing a grand total of nothing?
