Upgrade update:
Plenty happenning over the next little while (no sick-as stickers though lol!)
-Work wheels & Federal RSR rubber (thanks Dylmrt)
-3" Berk downpipe & twin exhaust to get things flowing (ditto)
-Getting the BOV plumbed back to keep the air in the system 
-And a bit of a speccy - hi-flowed CT26 from dwyer125, hopefully the hiflow job is an effective one, the clipping may make things a little laggy but should be able to produce more hi rpm boost than my poor old stock ceramic CT26, even if it's just from me daring a bit more boost (the steel compresser wheel aint gonna shatter!) At least that's what I'm hoping! Will try and get a dyno chart before/after to see the difference.
All in all, should give me plenty of smiles for a while.

Exhaust & turbo going in this week, can't wait for the dyno results. And since it's pretty much compulsory to get an exhaust note video up on youtube, I will do so
Meanwhile, front bar respray is done - getting better at it but still no pro! Looks good from a distance at least, and way better than it was.

Weird - your colour is so very different to mine. Looks so much more silver/grey.
Whats the paint code on it?

I've got it as 187 (Steel Mist Gray). I think it looks bluer outdoors! I checked your turbo thread chase_d, and noticed your pics are similar to mine - a huge range of colours depending on the angle & light.
At least I'm hoping its that....

Yeah same code.  Definately not many going around in this colour
On some angles mine looks the same, yet yours tends to look more grey/silver/
 
I actually got the paint shop to put a Scan-tool on it and it read the colour as Stingray Metallic 8T4, but after spraying that that didnt match either..

Visited the car today to help with the boost controller settings and check out the dyno action. With the new Berk 3" twin exhaust and hi-flowed CT26 in place things were flowing much more than previous. Hit 250hp at wheels but a bit unstable on boost settings and AFR. Will drop things back until ECU and fuel system upgraded. Got it to a nice steady 230hp or so at around 15psi. As expected the hi-flow meant boost came on a little later (vs stock ceramic) but it pulled all the way to redline. Bit nervous pushing it too hard on the stock ecu and fuel system, the list continues. Rubber, rims and take home tomorrow. Merry Christmas to me!

250hp is a great number considering your mods, who was the tuner and how much psi was the high flow running?
