Dammit,
let me redo the order.

Its the wastegate for this job, Turbo manifold, Then a Garrett M10, Then a Garrett T04 for this job, Then a Garrett T28, then the Garrett M24.

And as I so in-elloquently said the size order is wrong, the T04 is bigger than the T28, much bigger.

Fix up your bloody electrical outlets, before you burn your shed down. Clean up your leads, domistic power boards etc. You can't be running welders, grinders and power tools set up like that.

If you want, I have all the gear to do the job. Cable, power outlets, even distrubution boards R.C.Ds lock stock the bloody lot. You can have it for free! I've got a bucket load of stuff, left over after the floods in QLD, when my boys and I went out and helped out.
You make a list of what you need and I'll send down. You must have a sparky mate down there?

x2. Get a decent cable into the shed, put in a sub-board with RCDs and with an adequate number of well placed GPOs. It's not much money for a time saver and potential life saver.

+1 for RCDs.

Brilliant bit of insurance for the unknown.
Especially since you've mentioned the shed can flood a bit.

No kidding guys, Ive just done a massive tidy-up/dump run type thing and im putting it together, there a few things, like I sealed it so it cant flood, among other things to go.

Can someone advise me as to how I should go about wiring it up, as in what components to use, I know nothing about house wiring.

You must have a licensed electrician to design it, specify it and sign it off at the end. You can do some unskilled grunt work in the middle, like running the cables but at the end of the day the leccy is responsible and must be satisfied with all work done.

Thought I would post on here...

That is my exhaust system Dann is building.

I think I have given Dann a real challenge here as I have been quite fussy and very specific over some areas of the build (we have changed the final design again this afternoon) but I have also given Dann full ownership of the project so he can run with what is best without worrying that I will not like it. Just to add to the challenge I am in Perth so everything is being done remotely!

We are going to end up with a system that offers everything an off the shelf system does not...mainly because there are no off the shelf solutions quite like it which is why I am going with a custom set up.

Dann...Begi website did not have the cost so I had to email them.

Looking forward to seeing it,

Sorry off topic - Dann where are you getting your T2 inlet flanges atm?

Deviants setup,

Im doing a set of extractors supplied by Wozzah, as used on many of his n/a builds and currently on his near 200rwhp n/a BP engine, this is followed by a gentle step up to 2.25".

Ill try to step up gently over as long as 10" and go into a 2.25 cat, and then a 2.25 hotdog, the longest length I can fit under the car. Then at or just before the diff the 2.25 is being split into a twin 2" system, one exiting out the stock location and the other on the opposite side. Both tailpipes will be parallel with the car for at least a foot to keep it looking nice and it will utilize a short oval straight through race muffler just before each exhaust tip.

This system is a little larger than ideal for his current specs but gives room to do some headwork, the headers are also going to work better and better the more mods the insides of the engine gets. Ideally I would do twin 1-7/8" after the 2.25" single, but due to availability we are doing 2.25 down to 2.
