Collector welded for cylinders 1 & 2
New turbine chamber for my turbo, bit larger than old one
Old was a/r 0.63 single inlet, this new is a/r 0.84 dual inlet
Me and my little turbo, now you can realize how large is turbo for 2.4litre diesel engine which have power goal of 350hp
and this turbo actually spools in about 2000rpm

Project goes on....
few part where quite tricky to get on right place...
i did little mishap with measurements... so manifold is little bit too far from the engine... but i tried it to the car... and it fits...
i can still make final collectors turned little bit to the engine...
this way turbo will be in correct place...

this project is awesome! i was just thinking the other day if anybody was actually doing any kind of E28 diesel build, and that it would be kickass if someone was.
will be checking in for updates.

Exhaust manifold number 2
2hour job and it is in this condition....
model is "straight & short"
this type manifold will be able to spool up much larger turbo in diesel....
