My pipe is also metal and has the dv take of on it too cookie so spose il be going the same way. Rio-gti u want stainless steel drill bits really the slower u drill the better it will work and dont let the drill bit get to hot or it will just go blunt mate im a welder and use these bits all the time they work really well if used properly :-)

Right guys I'm getting there slowly. Ordering everything else I need today but 1 last question :
In the kit I've got they send me a straight 100mm long joiner so go onto the turbo. This was the ring size So I'm getting them to send me the correct diameter out now but my question is do I get it angled at all instead of straight??
U can see my set up pictured above. What u think??
