I've got the MRT/BPM/AVO/GGR pipe ready to fit soon.

Even without it I was using 85% IDC on 550s at only 1.4 bar. And now I am getting a bigger turbo

The GGR pipe is the Samco, I believe? AVO make the MRT and BPM pipes for them.

It can be fitted without raising the manifold at all, but is fiddly and expensive on knuckle skin It flows very well, but I also plan a home made jobby once I fit manifold spacers and relocate the PS res.

Alan, mmwahhhaaaaaa...how did I know you'd be going that way

Hope your injectors are big enough!

Oops, forgot to stay on topic I think there is an MRT pipe that's quite good as well, although I hear that the Samco version should be avoided as it can colapse when used with a turbo bigger than the TD04

Cool

Alan, you;ve got one of Mark's pumps, a new pressure reg and the parallel feed rails haven't you? If you have your system should be capable of delivering a little more than 550cc...

You've got me tempted now, while my car is in pieces...oh gawd...

Oh and on-topic I'm going to look at remote mounting the power steering resovoir so I can run a solid pipe through to the Turbo with small sections of Samco for the interconnects...should improove the flow a bit
