Turbo set up continues, I finally got in the 4″ long flex connector for the exhaust. I will need to build a mounting plate to hold the turbo in position and then connect all of the exhaust pipes and intake pipes as well as build the intake.

Now with the brakes complete, I can focus on getting the engine running. first up is getting the turbo mounted and plumbed. I am planning on solid mounting the VW bug turbo so the exhaust pipe wil need to be flexible. I am planning on inserting 2 flex connectors to accomplish this.

I have now completed the brakes. I just had to push it down the block and take a few pictures of it. I discovered, after the fact, that I did not have much usable video. It does roll and stop very well.

The brakes are complete. After installing the rebuilt master cylinder I filled it up and bled all the lines. One more bleeding and I can put the wheels back on and roll and stop it.

With all of the brake lines now complete, I need to rebuild the master cylinder and paint it. I am alos flushing out the ABS unit. I am using a vacuum pump to draw brake fluid through the pump. I can then put it all together and fill it up.

I now have the rear brake lines installed. All of the brake lines are now complete, so it’s time to fill it up and see if it works.

Now that the front brake lines have been constructed, I can focus on the rears. After building and painting the brackets to hold the flex lines, I have constructed the drivers side rear brake hard line. One more to go and the brakes are complete.

I now have the front brake lines complete. I have all the bolts in and the new brackets have been painted. It is now time to focus on the rear brake lines. Once the flex lines are complete, the hard lines will then be constructed.
