After smoke from my exhaust and an oily smell i finally got round to taking the exhaust away from the decat to find what looks and smells like dirty water in there, my initial fear was that it was oil coming tghrough the turbo seal as i forgot to prime it but it must have been ok as its a brand new wepr unit, the only problem with the car now is an oil leak although that doesnt bother me as ive been emailing tuning developments and in the new week or so the car is being uplifted by their driver and taken to them for the following work

Stage 2 motor
Running in
Fit & MAP EMU
Injectors
Fuel Pump
FPR
Fan & Fixing Kit, make radiator brackets & fit

i will be picking the car up in november when it is all ready to go, Mike was really helpful as im going on deployment to the gulf till the start of november and he said its fine to leave it with them i was told the other week its a 6 week wait on an engine anyway as they are very popular atm so it should be just finished as i come home

I cant wait hopefully get some good power results and see what this new wepr kit can do !

would like to thank all the lads for helping me out with this pain in the arse hassle i have had with it but ive just gonna bite the bullet and go for a forge im sure i wont regret it

Here is what i found in the decat:

***EDIT*** Could it possibly be that because the engine seals are goosed that condesation is getting in over night maby ? just a guess

Who will build your engine? Make sure you get a proper warranty!
Block and head must be skimmed to a real good finish(N7+-) if you are going to use a steel gasket.
Cant wait :D
