cheers guys, the fabrication pretty much comes as second nature to me, my dad taught me most of it when I was young, its all pretty easy with practice.

Ciaran, was that pic of under the bonnet as it was when it was running 500bhp ?

Na that's with the standard turbo.
Bar it being slightly bigger and a lot shinier it looks the same.
It runs a billet MD321V standard position

Fair play, most 500bhp cars ive seen are running rotated setups, maffless with bigger intake pipes ect, that still looks pretty stock, Must be a quick car?

It runs mafless now but still uses the original pipe.
It currently runs ESL and standard gearbox. Currently capped at 480/480 on v-power
Will be getting a an Alcatek and 6 speed over the winter.
It's seriously quick but you can hear the gearbox groaning
