Little update.
Yesterday I did a job which I have been holding off for a while purely because I knew it would chew up alot of time and the job was delugging and smoothing my ver3-4 manifold in preparation for the new rotated setup.
It literally took ages I also stripped my cusco top mounts and cleaned them up along with tidying up the h-brace and cusco diff brace and got them all etched and primed ready for painting when I decide what colour.

Today I got the engine out along with gearbox which went really well but had to cancel the afternoon's plan as I had to change the clutch/dual mass flywheel on my brother Audi A4 that and fitting some genome sti gauges and new stereo into DaveY's scoob.

All in all I am happy with the weekends progress,now I have the back cracked I can do early morning starts and evening along with weekends to get ready for paint.

Pic's

Rotated inlet Ty not turbo.
I need some more space at the back by the bulkhead for my oil cooler and new fuel pipe/regulator layout so I'm rotating the inlet manifold

Right I see now, front entry inlet to shorten the pipework will look nice, what colour for the manifold?

STi crackle red is always a good choice, never fails to look good but depends on what else you've got going on in the bay as well.

Why not match the manifold to the exterior colour or go for a nice high gloss black??

Black crackle paint then it is, as I think this would draw your eyes to all the goodies you will have in the engine bay. Plus of course you will really go for pink as you are a complete and utter gayer.

Nice find though on the Prodrive diff guard, not easy to find and come up as often as TT's todger (when he can find it) and I hope you had it for a bargain price.

Nice one Ryan, looking forward to seeing them refreshed. They won't be to everybody's taste but the colour will work nicely with the other accents I have on the car

Thanks Steve,I am too!!

Seeing as the job booked for today from one of our traders came in with what was supposed to be a 'slightly' damaged bonnet and turned out to be fooked so we ordered a new one and James's [winston69] car is under going mechanical work I decided I would finish up the front arches and get the inlet manifold flatted down.
