TBH G, if you wanted to be really safe when you replace the lower connector on the FPR you could pump all the fuel out. Only thing is you could run the pump dry which it might not like.

As you can see its missing the turbo as I couldn't find the bolts for it :(
But everything else is coming together nicely and starting to finally see less bits in my garage :)
Will tear my garage apart tomorrow trying to find them !!

All good bar this one bolt underneath the turbo I'm not sure how to do up. Might cut a spanner in half to do it. Its the one on the right !

Although there is always a bit of bending and twisting needed and the downpipe needs a bit of that to align straight. Ah well it was never gonna be easy was it :)

Nice work G, yeah my downpipe was the same, I must admit I am tempted to get my midpipe adjusted so it sits right naturally.

What size spanner do you need? I have some 'modified' tools you can borrow!

Nice update. Is that battery really that big? I know full well how big the turbo is so that battery must have come off of a cruise ship!!
