Starting to see the finish line now , fuel system now fitted , coolant system now fitted , need to refit the turbo , wire up 3-4 wires and work out a intercooler system and I'll be about ready to turn the key and see what happens lol

Front mount intercooler fitted at the rear , might make up some scoops to direct more air but will see what the charge temps are like once it's running

Axle stand isn't holding it up , it's fitted properly lol

Just waiting on a couple of small parts before I run it up to temp ,, but couldn't help myself and started it up for 30secs yesterday (couldn't do any longer as no thermostat yet),, seems to run great so soon as the new thermostat arrives I'll make a video of its proper first start ,,, very very loud !! But what was I expecting with only about 10" of exhaust lol

I was going to do this, had a dongle and a spare iPad mini ready to go.

Then I bought a Legacy that wasn't OBD2.
