I thought the first pic was it finsised for a second

Second one looks cool but needs a beter quality hose for the breather IMO.

Are those boost hoses gen RS500's?

looks stunning now karl.top marks.why dont you try silicone srpay on the industrial hoses.that will bring them nice and shiney and get all the haters off your back for a bit.lol
but i would get shot of the blue silicone vacum to the actuator in favour of black too.
the 500 look hoses are great!
