ive got a question!!!!
a few actually...
did you use 2.5" piping or 3"?
and did your turbo manifold use all 6 exhaust outlets from the engine block or just 3?
if you used all 6 howd u manage to get them to come around to where the turbo is placed
could i grab a pic of the turbo manifold just interested to know how you got it all to fit!
and do you have a boost controller? if not how'd you adjust it to run on 6psi? did you adjust it through the waste gate actuator? and also is your waste gate internal? did you have any issues adjusting it that way?
sorry about having so many questions, just trying to learn

Great looking FTO
Fix that front bumper sitting down with a gap, and it will be even better

Thanks for the replies guys.
To answer a few questions....
Bonnet and side skirts are completely custom. Bonnet is designed to cool the turbo as suggested and let hot air out the back..
I have 2.5 piping all the way through and turbo is fed from all six banks with a modified rpw extractor downpipe kit. I've got pics somewhere else on this forum do a search for my posts....
No boost controller yet...i have a 5.8 psi spring in an external wastegate.
Yes the bumper needs me to spend some time getting it just right cant seem to get it on straight, but it was worse when i bought the car.

Man thats seriously the BEST fto i've ever seen.. although I've "prettier" FTOs with extreme effort on the bodywork to make it look good.. this just blows EVERYTHING away...!!!!
As soon as I saw it my heart skipped a beat cos your engine bay way too neat.. it's too clean looking to be real!! It just screams power even though it's so neat looking with matching colors everywhere.
Your FTO as a whole is nuts man.. I'm filled with jealousy and envy and that's never happened to me before lol...
Power and looks, you got it all. Top job man, that's one crazy fto and i've been staring at those pics for 10 minutes lol

Thanks guys. Not done yet. Next project is a boot ice install although that will be more for looks than power since I want to keep the weight down
