Well, me and Ratty have spent 2 days putting the engine in, fuel system, sorting electrics, all thats left to do is a bit of pipe work and put in 2 new seats and harnesses.
Bloody knackard but cant wait to get on track

isnt that all going to get a bit complicated with two plenum chambers? 
I'm building a turbo mini which is similar to the std maestro turbo set up (single hif44, plenum etc)
