Whats the go bennoz, any updates?

Would it be ready for the bonfire in 2 weeks or is that just wishful thinking?

you can't really have turbos inline on a v6 mate as the 2 turbos sit on the same manifold mate. The 6a13 is parallel that why it is a bitch to get the motor to fit.

Am going to check it out this week. I've given the ultimatum to the guys that it must be finished by mid next week.

That's not what tippin was talking about, nor what parallel means.
Sequential means there is 1 small turbo and 1 large, 1 goes on low rpm for efficiency and low down torque, the bigger run kicks in at higher rpm for power.
Parallel is 2 turbos of the same size doing the same job... the end.

Some update piccies.

Manifold has been ported, sand blasted, HPC coated & then powder coated blue. As has the turbo feed angles pipes.

Wiring is now finished after today & the bumper has been resprayed... after an incident with the oxy torch when cutting the old rear manifold off

Next week is looking god for tuning. Especially after I threw wads of cash at them today.

Bit hard to 'dip' your whole engine bay in HPC coating mate... same goes for sending the engine bay through a powder coating oven

CF Yes .. Aluminium .. I say no .. retains too much heat .. more difficult etc etc..

I could make one up with FG a bit thinner & then if they wanted, they could go over it with CF ..

Alloy doesnt "retain" heat. Alloy dissipates heat just as fast as it conducts it.

Alloy? CF? Fibreglass??

You tossers

I've ordered a factory plastic one from Japan.

haha did it cost you a arm and a leg buddy i heard they are very exxy mate.

How much did all the coating cost mate?

Did you get all your intercooler piping done eg. both sides from turbos and to the throttle body.

I thought you would have gone red as this is the colour of your car mate.
