Sweet, nice boost setup. I just fitted a boost gauge, so will find out what boost I'm running for sure soon. I think higher boost setting is 1.1bar, but not 100%.

Did you have any trouble getting the front bumper back on? I see you cut some fins out.

Not a fan of the headlights and fogs, but the rest of car looks sweet. You stripping out the engine and tidying it up too?
