thanks for the comments. I took the last photos from the 1st floor balcony.

Trav - I dont have photos of the seats yet. I have them pulled out of the car again as the slider rails have arrived so I need to fit them.

cheers Darren, Im away with work for the rest of the week but will get some footage soon.

I thought I was down on power recently and thought I was just getting used to it but it turns out the gasket between turbo and manifold had failed and I lost two studs as well. its all good now and pulls great!

I made a couple of new purchases lately. Ive fitted the wideband and gauge in the stock boost gauge location, I went for the blue which stands out from my red gauge cluster and other gauges. yet to fit the fan controller, its been recommended to me by a mechanic who installs them on drift cars. this comes supplied with two sensors, for water and oil. Im toying with using the second sensor for the W2A.

Good choice of wideband, I have the LC-1 too because they are the best you can get IMO.

some more footage of my car in action, not the hardest launch or quickest gear change as I would rather save it for the drags

Its been ages since I updated this thread. The car has been off the road for a weeks now as my exhaust manifold failed. Been distrated with another project but have got back into it over the last week. Im having a new exhaust manifold made up along with upping the turbo A/R to 0.82. The Tial product seems to be far superior in casting than the Garrett item, its also a bit lighter too. I like the fact that the inlet is circular and so will the exhaust manifold collecter. From a flow point of view it just seems to make more sense having it round rather than square like the traditional T3 housing, I would imagine there will be less turbulance here. Ive also upped the wastegate to a 44mm and going down the coil on plug road while Im at it. Looking forward to seeing the results! I'll lose a bit of spool with the different exhaust housing but it should still be pretty responsive.
