Alrighty - pics are here.......

A big thanks to LM who did all the SS fabrication - the engine bay is now finished - heatshield was my contribution. His work also included building a custom SS exhaust - I picked up the muffler and cat converter from Ebay - we started it this afternoon and it puuuuurrrrrs :D

Currently only running 4PSI - not sure why yet, but I will find out.

But she sounds soooooo sweet - actually quieter now with the turbo than with my old NA system - I love my new exhaust :D

I was in the passenger seat for the first boosted run... 8)

Well done Mikey, and LM for all the custom work!

The whole install is very schmick. You'll sort out your boost, get a bit more fuel into her and we won't be able to wipe the grin from your face. :mrgreen:

Welcome to the dark side. :twisted:

Question: where did you source the stainless pipe/mandrel bends?
