Here we go... 50 odd images.
Thanks for looking.
As the day started, a bit of a mess around and removing the stock exhaust.
Then some trial fits to check air con clearance.
Here is the custom water routing pipe I threw together in the moment to clear the huge oil drain I opted for.
Its aluminised steel (1.25 inch exhaust pipe) and on the inside it will corrode at the same rate as the other stock pipe it runs to on the right, and the cast iron engine block, before any smart alec asks why it isnt stainless or alloy.
A look from behind, showing the water return hose. later this is covered with fire sleeve, heatproof sleeve for the rubber protection. No kinks, and nothing rubs at all. The right hand hose is the water feed.
Painted up and being tightened. The small diameter water hose to the left of the dipstick you can hardly make out, is the water feed hose.
This image show the fire sleeve, and where the water feed comes from.
Some more of the water lines.
Intercooler piping.
This is 2.25 inch, or 60mm, but the turbo outlet is 40mm. Im using 2 inch from the turbo, necked down to 40mm, and necking this 60mm down to fit the 50mm.
This is done by cutting a V into the pipe, clamping it into a cone with multiple hose clamps, then tack welding it together, removing the hose clamps and fully welding it. You can see it gives a great flowing transition, and it looks professional.
Freshly tapped oil return, this is about 16mm. Would you believe perfect fit, and doesn't touch anything.
The rest are heaps of shots of everything else!
MASSIVE DUMP!
As its been said, everyone enjoys a massive dump! And you can see the factory narrowband taking temporary residence in the bung I included.

Exhaust needs a touch up. It was rubbed on everything on the way in and out a few times, and this paint bakes on, its basically a powder when it sprayed on before heat!
Tell me what you all think and ask away.
