the only thing left is to connect the wastegate into the tailpipe and make a couple of gaskets obviously i had to run it up and it sounds f***ing awesome seriously f***ing awesome i nearly had to touch myself it was so good :blush:

couple of pics of the setup off the car gives a better idea of the new layout had to put a 90 Deg bend on the drivers side due to a lack of space

the only thing left is the flexi pipe from the wastegate to the back of the tailpipe

really hard trying to weld flexi to a thick flange like this as its so thin get careless and you just blow holes through it as you can see still a bit hot just got to cut hole hole in back of tailpipe and weld it on

will get it finished tomorrow night. :)

Tremendous work on this, kudos for doing all the hard bits yourself. Skillz.

 

yea i'm one of the odd people who enjoys spending hours in the garage accidentally burning bashing cutting and generally hurting myself, getting angry and frustrated when things don't go as planned but the sense of achievement is worth it

:yahoo:
