Liking the downpipe, that's quality workmanship.

Just wait until I get some photos of the middle box that's been patched up! Makes the downpipe look like a normal patch!!
Engine out
Taking the necessary bits off the b200 and fitting them to the b230fk, We were missing a couple of gaskets and seals, quick call to Volvo and we had them delivered same day!! Carry on tonight putting everything back on, then hopefully we can sort the intercooler and turbo bits this weekend ready for a custom stainless exhaust at the start of the week Thanks to Matt
B200 looking sorry for itself...
B230FK nearly ready to go back in
Few updates;
Engine is in, and running! Will be fitting exhaust and swapping suspension round this week hopefully! Still few bits n bobs to finish off but its 90% there!
This was it's first start up after fitting the turbo lump! http://vid432.photobucket.com/albums...pskyizrnuf.mp4
So straight start up from cold and you're revving the nuts off it?!
Only did it the once as the lambda wasnt wired aro nout it wouldnt idle, im glad it started at all to be honest!!

Oh boy that looks good, I think the front needs to come down a little though!
Just to let you all know she is now finished and on the road!!! A couple of small jobs to do, but nothing major!
It's set at just under 1bar of boost at the mo, its got a slight misfire at full chat, but this is suspected to be plugs/leads as its still on the old set. I will get round to ordering upgraded ones when my next paycheck comes in!!
Will get some more photos up over the next few days

Turned out the problem was the boost was set a little bit too high! The ecu and MAF were having hissy fits trying to cope! Turned the MBC down a bit and its running much better now!
On the shopping list in the near future... 3" 960 MAF and chip the ecu... and turn the boost back up!
