TBH i dont think im gonna buy any kits but that is another great link

Ive managed to source so far

Oil catch tank
Green injectors
Fast Flow Sports Cat
TIAL 38mm wastegate

I think the only things i will be spending good money on is the Turbo.

I think im gonna have a shot at fabricating myself a manifold making equal length pipes

thats about it for now :D

Stu

I must warn you I'm about as decisive as a 5 yr old in a sweet shop!!  :grin:
