Thanks for the info.

I had previously found those but was dubious as to the quality. I ended up getting a section from the turbo at a scrapers for £6
 
some more progress:

the rest of the intercooler pipe work is now complete and so is the intake to the turbo, will clamp it all in place at a later date

Getting closer now, just waiting for a few more parts to arrive!
comments and feedback welcome!
 
Really like the idea of using the standard air box instead of a cone filter. Looks great so far.
 
Good idea if you have not already done is get the FRP airbox modification for the extra intake hose.

Will keep checking and keep up the good work!

Cheers

still having issues with my oil return which is now the last big thing to sort out before i can fire the car up!

I have a Wideband and boost gauge to fit in the mean time
 
exhaust down pipe fully welded now and i took a pic as i was fitting, should compare this pic to the original one on my first post :)

Finished my oil cooler + hoses today with the sandwich plate all installed.

All thats left now is the oil return which is a major pain!
 
oil return is being a git! i am struggling to get the turbo outlet to line up with the oil sump - there is very little room and with connectors i have like 1cm of hose lol so no wiggle room.

Anyway i have a cunning plan so stay tuned.
After oil return is sorted i can start putting the car back together and fire her up!
