Right,first time woodsy ever built one of these so could get interesting.
Here is my car.
... 
And here is most of the engine dismantled/disconnected.
..bloody camera ran out at this stage so unable to show you the subframe off and the engine getting lowered to the floor. 
The plan here is to run a hybrid ct26 at low boost pressure on the stock ecu until an ecu becomes available,then we can wind things up a bit,but not too far after all we are on still on stock internals.
pics of the engine out,nothing too spectacular happening at the mo.
.. 
Mock up,a possible location for it the turbo
This would mean chopping the boot panel about or even removing a section of it,but it does give more room to locate stuff,also you can see the AFM and air filter would be sitting in the right side boot corner,so a possible vent or scoop could be added to the bodywork here for cold induction air.
This set up also gives plenty of room for the intercooler above the gearbox.
...time will tell!(yes its a mk1)A Fidanza aluminum flywheel(9lbs)
Aluminum flywheels have been used for many years for increasing performance.
From the earliest days of racing and street build-ups, the world's best engine builders have been installing aluminum flywheels to give their engines the needed edge. Not only will you see a dramatic increase in usable horsepower, but engine life can also be extended since there will be less stress on the crankshaft. To achieve the greatest increase in performance an aluminum flywheel must lower the moment of inertia characteristics of the engine. Put in simpler terms, we must reduce the amount of horsepower needed to turn the flywheel so that horsepower can be used to turn the wheels. The flywheel itself is made from either 6061 T6 or 2024 T3 aluminum depending on the model. Both of these materials are tempered aluminum which are very, very strong yet very lightweight 
RPS Performance Turbo sport series clutch stage 2-Torque cap:390 pressure increase+15%
Turboclutch Sport Series clutches offer unmatched value.
These clutches are packed with features found in other higher priced units, yet sell for much less. Sport pressure plates have 150 to 200 pounds of extra clamping force to hold the power of your mild upgrades. These upgrades include better exhaust, better intake, cams, chips, and boost controllers.Sport Series clutch kits are available with both street discs and RPSs unique sprung hub 6-puck disc.
These discs use progressive springs for smoother engagement and inflect much less stress on the transmission than solid hub discs. European style puck material is used exclusively for better drivability and longer life. RPS also has created a special rivet and assembly procedure designed to extend the clutchs life even more. If you are looking for a great value, this is your clutch!
The V6.
......
And here it is pulled apart and degreased.
... 
Then the pistons were pulled out
,heres the internals on the bench... 
And the bottom end inspected.
...ordered a brand new set of shell bearings for the bottom end on this engine,the old ones looked ok but i figured its not worth taking a chance while pauls got the bottom end apart.
And the first step taken to turbo charge.
...paul removed the blanking plug from the oil filter housing,drilled a hole through it and welded a 90* fitting onto the end,they have pressure tested it and it works fine....from here they will pipe to the turbo oil feed. 
well the heads were sent off to CTM for porting out,valve job and reshim.
...the gearbox will be going to a specialist company on monday for a recon,its got a crunchy 2nd... and they are sending the CT26A hybrid off to I.T.S turbos as paul found a slight oil leak on it and we want this build to be perfect so the turbo will come back fully rebuilt. This leaves paul with bu88er all to do until parts come back,but he did get the turbo oil return sorted today.
.. 
This is a mk2 turbo oil return fitting,and its been welded into the sump at the highest point on the front of the engine so its above the oil level.
..very important when draining oil away from a turbo! if its sits below the oil level it can cause turbo failure. 
paul has also ordered 2m of braided high pressure oil feed line from these people www.speedflow.co.uk
,found by johnny... they were very helpful indeed and ship instantly. So most of the parts are coming together,thats going to be the hold up now before we see further progress.
...then it will all come together at once
