Internal sits on the turbo, external will be sit on manifold etc, basically screamer pipe is an external wastegate example.

cheers for the replies guys

rockmonkey what have you done to that 1.6 in ur pic? looks very interesting 

Removed the 1.6 and put in a 1.8t, stripped the 1.8t down and completely rebuilt it with forged internals and all new components, i.e new tappets, oil pump and pickup etc etc. ported, port matched and valve work. Being run in on stage 2 at the moment.

which 1.8T did u put in? AUM?

why did you choose aum over the others?

[rockmonkey69]

Because originally it had an AZD which was electronic throttle body, as I didn't want to bother with the hassle of changing. As I had planned to rebuild the engine it mattered little which engine I chose and because the aum is cheaper than a bam this was naturally my choice.

There are underlying technical premises for my choice too but I shall spare you the dreary talk
