sweet, you going to ceramic cote them or anything?

No will leave them lots of it is silicone elbows, may ceramic coat the manifold in the long run but will give it a bit of time to make sure it doesnt crack.

Bits came today



Fitted up all the pipe work and it fit quite well.







Just need to weld on pipes for the 007 and the EBC which ill do on fri.

Now have 2.5" pipe work from turbo to throttle body.  :smiley:

Bought T-bolt pipe clips that were to small tho so they have got to go back for bigger ones  :embarassed:

I tried to fit wheel spacers to the rear and found that one side fit fine but the other wouldnt so had to get it on the lathe to take some of it out to get it over the extra bit on the hub. Worked a treat.




Welded the extra pipes on so I could fit the dump valve and EBC



Drilled and tapped the pipework to fit the nozzle for the WMI



Made up a brace to help hold the turbo to the block for extra support just need to weld it up.



Have sent off my rear calipers to Bigg Red to be reconditioned hopefully should get them back this wk  :smiley:
