Finally got some progress to show for it.

FMIC installed:


How it looks under the bumper:


Turbo cooler installed:


1.8 ZVH in, waiting for fel-pro head gasket to turn up (which is why the cam belt is loose)



And I've loosely fitted my boost gauge:

Yeah I've heard mixed things about the fel-pro. My mates using one on his 1900 Turbo CVH RS 1600i and it lasted a few track days, trip to germany and back, and then blew in a very strange place right in the middle between 3&4.

Well it's fitted now, and it is running, so will just have to see how well it lasts.

Just need to change the exhaust gasket which should be here soon. Really can't wait to run this baby in then rip out that MFI and fit my Omex 600
