CHeers guys, all finished, lowered it a little more and im happier with it now. It took probably about 5 hrs to do, Surprisingly the fto is almost made for an intercooler the way the front bar brackets arfe designed.

@ Yano, turbo gets new wastegate on it tomorrow, i also have another place to talk to about relocating fuel filter and lines. Still waiting on fuel rail adapter from RPW. Ill also be taking to turbo guy about oil lines etc for turbo. It would be good to get turbo mounted this week but i dont know if i have enough time, we will see

Be sure to keep a close eye on all your costings as when your done you'll be asked a million times about it...

Be good to see what the difference is between cheapest possible install, with some work done DIY and a little more comprehensive install with a million probs... (i.e. my initial $11k install that lasted all of 3 months)

yeah definitly should be interesting. F&*K im glad im not having to pay myself for labour as i have put so many hrs into researching, part finding, more researching, more part finding, more research.....well you get the picture

which turbo are you guys running.

I'm currently running a GT2876 capable of 450bhp (and been dyno'd at 400 at the moment) Which Im looking to change to a GT35R in about a month, so I will have the GT28 for sale.
