well i have been working on the car this weekend got a good cash deal on this lot (you dont ask you dont get lol) ended up working to 4am last night when it was cool.

Absolutely stunning mini mate! Im going turbo as well, using a t2 on mirage manifolds.

I've got an electronic oil temp gauge and i've been trying to find a place to put the sensor for ages. Just seen on your engine that you have it in a spacer piece behind the filter housing. Do you know if anyone makes this? Also that looks like a standard water temp sensor as fitted in the cylinder head, i assume this works fine.

Good luck with the turbo

thanks
