The stripping down ready starts for the turbocharger setup.

First pulling out faithful MSPaint to get my head around manifold design, it wont be an equal length but ive tried to minimise the differering runner lengths.


rear clam off, exhaust out

Might send this to the bodyshop to have the rear sections cut out neatly


This is where the car is kept while the manifold/downpipe is made


Lots of room down there with the janspeed 421 out


Schedule 40 stainless steel, very heavy but should never crack so if i decide to take it properly racing(30mins+) I have the reliability I need


pulled the old oil cooler out, another 2.5kg saving



Its good to pull some weight off the front end to maintain a good balance as at the moment all the weight is coming off the back, though I think the carbon splitter, lighter wheels and lighter suspension components are all thats left that I can do now on the front.


Now im just waiting for my manifold flange to arrive and we can start tacking the manifold together!
