That's some great news right there!
Is Raj still doing flocking? I need some bits done, usually use Nikki at CBC, but wouldn't mind giving someone else a try depending on location/price

Change of plan on the Fabrication of manifolds and down pipe ..im spending the extra and going to a company that's local called ND performance and Fabrication ..their work looks brilliant . So I'm picking the engine up on Sunday and all I have to do now is sort fuel lines and filter out. fit engine and box .. drop car off for fabrication and once done take it a mile down the road to be mapped .

Turbo looks great - does it have a T3 stage 1 exhaust housing? I noticed the AR .48 on the turbine section.
The Garrett website does not show a 0.48 available on the exhaust side.
Custom build?
Cheers
