Lol at you lot. Everyones told me about that bleedin plastic K&N wrapper haha.

Overall i think the bay is really starting to look a bit special now. Im quite pleased.

As of tonight, header tank is fitted and plumbed in, new PAS line made and fitted. Turbo fully plumbed for coolant and oil, VAC pipes for the wastgate have been run, turbo blanket has been wire locked in place.

Also my custom oil separator is done, this will have a bracket made and then off to the powdercoaters. The last boost pipe was measured up tonight too and that should also be made up asap.

She'll be getting the usual dose of satin black

You are going to be so disappointed when you remove that plastic wrapper

So when is the projected completion date? Where is the first outing going to be?

Yeah my nice clean filter will get dirty hahaha.

Well hopefully as soon as i have the final bits and bobs done i can get on Simons ear to bring me a Syvecs over and we'll get her fired up.
Also have to wire up the Bosch pump yet but will probably do that with Simon on the day.

For those that wanted better pics. Here are some new snaps. So close now its getting frustrating. lol.

Many thanks for all the superb comments guys.

Made up a little loom for the fuel pump relay tonight. Still requires the trigger wire but this can be done on the day. You'll notice the small red Deans plug with fly leads to the pump. This is so I can just unplug the pump and with just one bolt and 2 fuel fittings the whole pump/filter cradle can be removed to get super easy access for changing spark plugs.
