    looks good - I enjoyed looking at the album! What level of boost are you planing on (for the garrett)?

    I'm limited by the size of injectors and strength of the gearbox, so I guess no more than 1.5 bar at least for a while

    ?

    I had to do the turbo downpipe, water and oil lines etc, and it's much easier with the bumper and radiator removed

    Any ideas where to buy a new knock sensor. The two sensors I have are both badly damaged ( the rubber insulation + very bad cables) and I really don't want to get another used one


    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Knock-Sens...6#ht_868wt_732

    is that the same one as in q4 ?

    It's looks equal, but can't be sure if it's the same.

    Shouldn't be the same as Cosworth uses almost the same ECU (IAW P8)??

    I was wondering what are your plans on the oil cooler and air passage to it with this front bumper, or are going to change the location of the oil cooler/radiator.
    Thanks

    it stays on the default location, no probs at all.

    Air will be sent to it from the hallo whole (haven't drilled it yed, still looking for appropriate part for it, maybe the edges from some old broken hallos)

    Did some tests on the rear brakes today. Old front discs with evolution calipers ... not exactly bolt-on but not so dificult at all, hopefully will be done next weekend

    Well I bought it ... it's not the same, different thread

    Doable however, will make it 8x1.25 (no it is typical ford - 10x1.5)

    I had the exact same question Jack
    My guess, a fuel presure regulator with "connecting kit" for custom plumbing?

    Hi, Jivco.
    How did you managed with the two extra brake hoses?

    I have also received a 4 hoses kit and the local dealer sais that these are the Goodridge specifications for the 155Q4. I have sent them the chassis number too before ordering.

    After I have compared with the OEM brake hoses, it doesn't seem to me having same sizes at all. Neither the same configuration.

    My curiousity is why Goodridge have same specifications for 155Q4 as for others 155... http://www.goodridge.co.uk/car-brake...alfa-romeo.htm

    Yes, they are not for q4, and need some invasions . The short ones ... I've ordered them here in Bulgaria in a workshop, custom built.

    I did not contact Goodrich, so if you got the patience, maybe you should.
