Excellent work mate, looking forward to experiencing it at some point. Glad to hear lag is not an issue, also with the new turbo pack on the way and the porting the animal you had before is now going to be Godzilla!

Couple of little things to finish off like adding mini filters to the dump valve and charge relief valve (christ these are loud unfiltered! ). Also the AST is just held in place by a cable tie at the moment, whoops!

Took the car out and I was getting 19c air temp on a cruise and about 23c on boost, water never went over 81c. I was worried that it would be a bit laggier due to the huge core, but if anything it is less laggier! The response blows my mind and im only running 0.7bar at the moment. Pulls like a train.

Next stage - spare turbo pack and manifold going to Jaydee for porting and then a new map before Snetterton in Feb!

Great work Chris. Not only does it look a lot tidier, but it should be safer and more powerful too

I look forward to seeing it on the tracks.

I'm rubbish at making stuff, but I had a go anyway! Need to smooth the edges a bit and bolt it down but it fits like a glove and should force some more air through the IC

Yes I still need a proper AST mount!!

Looking really good chap - you were behind me the other day - I was in my golf, the car looked awesome. Can't remember where I saw you though .. !

Surprised you've not fitted a strut brace

Looks good Chris.

Ben, I presume its because its very tight where the filters are ?

Nice Chris, I have started ducting mine as well. Its a right pain in the balls as the rad hasent been mounted in the centre. I think I might nick your idea and put a slam panel on as well.

Cheers all

Gareth is right. Had to remove brace because of the filter. Need a longer pipe to move it forward a bit
