It's almost done! Things that need sorting out: - 2 wires for my APEXi auto timer. This taps into the loom. - SPAL fan wiring kit I bought needs to be fitted. - Intercooler bracket needs to be painted and fitted. - Tuning so the engine can be run in. The car is so dirty at the moment so it needs a good clean when I get it back. Pictures below:

DOuFINKimSEXY: Thanks Dave. Yes not long now. Hopefully by this time next week I'll be running the car in.
Bionikal: Thanks man, I've tried to make it look clean with a hint (red rocker cover) that something has been done.
stuka: I'm getting the run in tune done by e-tuner (referred by Trav). They will tune the car and run it on the dyno for the first 50-100km drain the oil, refill and run it again for a bit. From there they will let me do the rest of the break-in period. I'll let you know how they go as they do Haltech too.
MRGen3Turbo: Yeah I can't wait. I heard it run today and it sounds pretty tough (slight lump), the clutch is rather noisy too! Scratched up rocker cover, that's more Eric's style [88].
greddy_es: Thanks man. I'm not looking forward to the break-in period though. Aiming for a reliable 200 - 210rwkw.

MR2QIK: Thanks man, and don't worry I'm planning on running 1.3 - 1.4 bar . We'll see how lucky I am after it's run in, 230 rwkw would be nice. But 210 "reliable" rwkw will do me nicely. kameleon: Thanks man. I hope it's awesome after its run in and no more surging!

kameleon: Sounds good man. The car will be towed to the tuner on Tuesday morning for a run-in tune. Then I'm planning to do the remaining engine break-in (1000 KM) by the following Monday so it can have a power tune. We'll see how it all goes, it's a lot of kilometers to rack up over five days.
