Just head to Ford Spare Parts, although i know the poeple pretty well at our dealer, i'm sure others wouldn't hesitate to print out a couple of diagrams for you.

I ended up going to a local hydraulic workshop to have a couple of fittings welded togeter permenantly to stop the leaking. It really started to piss me off lol. Now i don't even have to use an o-ring, just a dab of thread seal and away we go.

Well, seeing as you mentioned it, i bought a stock BF turbo for $400 today! Woooo! 8-) It's kinda fallen off the back of a truck, if you catchma drift *wink nudge* :wink: It's only done 15,000km's too.

So, i'm kinda of happy about this, the rear bumper is getting repaired, the brakes are being replaced on friday and i now have a turbo, it looks as if the car will be staying in the family for a little longer.

Dude, I dont think Fordman actually bought a BF Falcon for $400, he bought a turbo setup from a BF Falcon for $400.

Haha, yeah i wish i could buy a whole BF Falcon Turbo for 400 bucks, couldn;t imagine it to be in good condition though :?

Anyhoos, here's a couple of pics of the new whizzer. I still have a few parts to go on the list, so if you have anything you want to get rid of, let us know and i'll come up with some cash for you.
