Not saying it would be a reason not to do what you're doing, just interested to read how you originally phrased it as 'no reason not to'. In actual fact there is but you've already thought about it.Machine monkey wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2017 10:02 amAnd here we have it.. The question i was expecting
Steve your right turbo lag is a problem. But turbo lag is a problem for well every turbo car. There are some very clever things you can do to eliminate it but they tend to be quite involved and i may employ some of them later.

Yes boost oil temprature and presure will have gauges in the cabin.Smartbear wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2017 12:35 pmWell, that makes a change from the latest fashion of roof motors re-sited to the boot!Machine monkey wrote: ↑Thu Apr 20, 2017 10:13 am So the tank fits behind the rear wheel arch. With the return pump below it under the car next to the turbo. The feed and other stuff is tucked away in the boot.

I take it the pump will be monitored for function/oil level/temperature back in the cabin?

Not away from the hot exhaust no.
The seat fits in exactly as it should. It might just be the hot seat!! I dont have seat heaters so might be handy in the winter.
