Now my inital plan was to build this as an N/A with 51mm Peripherals with fuel injected ITBS. So i set to work on the exhaust manifold and centre section:

Whilst building all of this i got offered a GT45 turbo at a decent price. WHO could turn that down. So it took a harsh turn in the turbo direction!!!!!



Attachment 17520



Attachment 17521



Fortuanatly the centre section is still useable so i set about building the rear section of the exhaust. Dual 2.5" centre exits (yes fuel cell will be in the boot).



Attachment 17522



Today i started the Turbo manifold. Not much just a quick pic off the phone. Kind of makes sense if you look at it.



Attachment 17523



So thats it up to date. I'll try and keep them comming as i go down the line. Still TONS to do !!!
