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

Started cleaning a few bits up ..today I started on the Bosch 044 fuel pump ..only by hand but once I get the machine polisher out it might come up better ..plus I've ordered a really good zinc plating kit from America ..not these eBay hobbies so i can get all my bits done at home ..im off tomorrow to drop my throttle body off for vapour blasting then push on further up the motorway to pick the Engine up .I've got to get the engine and box in before the 28th as it's going for manifolds etc ..so things are going to be busy .
