    So seeing as though I gave Starkey shit about the accuracy of his content, time to nut up and put content out there myself



    Disclaimer:
    - These are made using the YouTube editor so production quality is suitably shite (anyone else know of a better online editor, let me know)
    - There is no spoken commentary because i hate the sound of my own voice. So if you don't like the music, mute it
    - I used Rollei 5S's. Not the worst, but not the best
    - This video is just an intro, showing the history of the car over the past 10+years and the turbo specs
    - There will be around 6 or so videos detailing the process of fitting. First one is done, working on the second now

    Next one is up



    Pretty much a how-to guide for people who don't know how to remove a turbo. A few tips & tricks thrown in there for good measure

    Next one should be done in a couple of days

    Part 2 up now and if you've ever wanted to learn how to measure oil supply in the most basic form now you can, and in just 3 minutes and 3 seconds



    Yes it isn't a definitive answer on oil supply - it only measures flow, not pressure. And is only checked at one engine speed (cranking) which is far from ideal, but it's better than throwing a part on without checking

    With Youtube editor gone i'll have to find another online editor to get the final 2 videos done, which sucks

    After much searching I've found an awesome app for video editing: Power Director

    Smashed the final video of the build portion using Power Director:



    Have taken it for a quick spin and it spools faster than a factory unit tbh. Will throw the cameras on and take it for another test and make another video
