happy days although it looks like a decent thickness unlike some 1.6mm ones out there

Hello Nige can't wait to see the next level after this! Are you removing the apc valve now and running a manual boost controller with yours? Looks awesome mate the bay looks really good too.

[nige-p]

the thickness of the metal is terrible in places even on straight bits of tube with about half the thinkness on one edge compared to the other

still going to use the saab boost controller to control the wastegate, but probably a t7 one, just need to find a wastegate actuator with some different options in springs to set it up, as the holset actuator i cant even move by hand, its that stiff

[nige-p]

ok manifold is now finished but ive just got another rolling road booked for xmas eve eve to see how many ponies i have at current as it feels more than 274 so lets see what im getting from the t25 and then i will be strapping the big boy on

[Turbostevo]

Looks amazing mate. What are you doing about rad clearance?

[nige-p]

it all fits with the rad in with about 40mm of space, fans will be the interesting bit, im thinking 2 x small on the front and whatever i can get on the back probably 2 x small ones again
