make sure it will fit your manifold mate if not you will have to have it machined mate.if you need my info mate dont hessitate to ask mate.

nothing is going to fit really tbh, going to have to place turbo where washer/coolant bottles are in the front left corner of the bay due to brake servo and steering linkage in the way. Got the block painted earlier another coat tomorrow then its time to start the fun and games

There was a bloke who have a 245 who managed to fit the turbo in with the 760 turbo manifold on and customised the down pipe a little but there wasnt much room.
The best thing to do on the 240's is to have a custom manifold made which eliminates the clearence problems im also going to search for a slimmer brake booster which will allow more room

i forgot you have a 240 so i totally agree with pete get custom manifold made .the new season is going to be good with all these rwds modded and tuned ready for the stripe

The 850 will do for now ive just recieved my inlet pipe so that will give me a instant 100bhp more as the silicone is red pmsl.
Just get ready for the 240 but if i do get made redundant and get another job straight away i will have pleanty of candy to throw at it.

Have you got any pics of the 240 would be good to see another one on here

**redbaron** · Thursday 16th December 2010, 21:58
