A few more bits arrived yesterday and came across another drama ..so a change in direction on the coil pack..im going to use a Fiesta Turbo coilpack.. just need to find a plug for it if anyone knows of someone with one or where I can purchase brand new..also the Head light decals turned up.

Here's the problem with polo coil pack and fiesta leads.

And this is the plug I need ..im going to buy a fiesta turbo coilpack and run that instead of the polo one .

Some great work going on.
Not sure if you have one or not but I think the s1 inlet uses a different size thread /end on the servo to inlet manifold pipe to the s2.

Thanks mate ..i think that's why it's been welded up to be later tapped to the right size.

Manifold looks great matt, in one pic the turbo looked mega close to your brake servo but must of just been the angle it was taken at as it has good clearance.

Yea mate it was just camera angle it clears the servo and thermostat by a fair way so I'm really happy .

Got to wait on new inlet coming back and start some heat manangement so things behave well like the brakes etc then get the new simtek manangment fitted with my zeitronix monitor...than give it some boost.

Nikki at ND performance and fabrication built the manifold and down pipe etc .

I'm not tempting fate on a time so maybe 5 weeks ish nice and steady .

It's off to Zi motorsport for new uprated engine loom and Simtek manangement fitted and mapped to around 240 ish then ill head up to MSD and have a play on the dyno with Stu till I'm happy how it drives ..set up around 300hp .
