Re: 1994 420 Gsi Turbo
I used a tap set to chase out all the threads for the exhaust manifold, and then refitted the manifold with turbo with using a stainless steel stud and nut kit. Also bought one of the more expensive gaskets £27, its a multi-layer one rather than the not good cheap ones.

Bought a new downpipe, proper turbo one, and then a big bore decat pipe.

Starting to look very much more together.

While the car was up in the air i removed the track rod ends so that i could change the steering rack gaiters. They had basically fallen apart and were obviously going to be a big fat MOT fail.
