To update..
I got a big old eBay shopping basket of stuff and a some other packages in before the weekend, was outside on Friday night and all of Saturday in the garage
I got a clio expansion tank bracket, that meant I could position the bottle and finish the coolant circuit. Which I did, which clips and all so that is now done. but not pressure tested.

I
I welded the inlet pipe to the flange and silicone joiner out to the second pipe with filter. That’s fine apart from shrouding it/ protecting it a bit which is still to be done.
the boost run itself is now positioned much neater and fitting better after some adjustment, that is also clamped up and fully fitted.
the alternator is now fitted and the distributor timed as I had to do those things before I could fit the boost pipes and carb top finally.
I made an actuator bracket out of 4mm aluminium but I need to brace it off of something at the end to eliminate a bit of flex.
I also have bits coming to make up a rose jointed adjuster/ tensioner/hanger from the block to the turbo to strengthen it and hopefully extend the time before my manifold cracks.
I took the plunge and bought a renix 209 off of eBay last week, good condition, with bracket and cover. It hurt but I think it was a good price, so that’s going to go up into the scuttle along side the expansion bottle. I’ve looked at lead length a bit for that but I’ve not positioned it finally yet.
i have also ordered the line and fittings I need to make up an oil feed for the turbo, I had to mess about with the different fittings I had from the standard feed and the feed etc I got with the Saab turbo. I never really found out what the fitting from next to the sensor to the sump was so I’ve elected to blank it.

There’s a photo of the bias valves I’m going to try and use for the rear brakes.
All in all I’m happy with the weekends effort, next things to do are turbo oil lines, aux belt, aei placement, I’m pretty sure I need to turn my fPr round the other way, I thinkI’ve got my carb feed returning to my tank, the filter and pump also need putting in place for good. Then I think I could actually put fluids in it and fire the thing up, which is incredibly exiting. I need to read up and find out exactly what the fuel pump needs to work properly.
clutch needs reconnected, brake pedal connecting to servo, accelerator and speedo cables
but first fire up is I think very close, I kept looking at the engine bay on sat and feeling very pleased
cheers
