Some more pics for your perusal...
Turbo as it arrived, with new gaskets for oil and water feeds.

Closeup of the exhaust wheel. You can see where they've shaved a bit off for balancing.

Inside! New seal plate

Closeup of the compressor wheel, again you can see where it's been balanced.

However I'm a bit concerned that there's too much up-down-left-right movement in the shaft. I don't know if that's just cause there's no oil in there right now. I've videoed the movement and will double-check with the turbo bloke before it gets reassembled. Probably looking at a fortnight before that happens, as I have only just sent off the exhaust housing for coating.

Just to add... I'm pretty sure that's not the original exhaust wheel, which was ceramic. Am awaiting to hear from Bob as to exactly what was replaced and how much it'll cost
Looking in the region of £300 though.

getting there now mate
how long you reckon before shes back otr

Not sure mate, could be a while yet. I've got an event on the last weekend of the month that I'd like to attend but I'm not too hopeful!
I got the injectors back today but I think they've given me someone elses paperwork... it says they're side feed when they're clearly top fed and says they flowed 78cc when they are meant to be 540cc injectors... ? IT says they were flow tested for 15 seconds at 50% duty cycle... 78cc * 2 to make 100% duty is 156cc and that * 4 to make 60 seconds is 624cc... confused!

toxo I have done a few more things now:
Bought all new gaskets, studs and nuts for head -> manifold, manifold -> turbo and turbo -> downpipe. 3 gaskets, 19 studs and 19 nuts! NOT CHEAP.
You're going to need a LOT more spanners :p
