Intercooler & turbo replacment, phase one
 

:confused: Heres the plan, last year fitted afterburner de-cat centre pipe and ninja back box, green panel filter, braided hoses and diamond disks with frodo pads, Tek 2 fuel mapping running at 265, all happy.
This year were going with the following, intercooler & turbo replacment, both from Andy Forrest, Ninja fast flow down pipe, and center pod with turbo, oil pres & oil temp gauge.
Been saving for this all year.
Well today was start day, christmas eve great. All prepared with band aids, water and a new swear book off we went.
Here are the fruits of day one.

Heat sheild was a pain to fit, as it would not fit around neck of down pipe. Needed a bit of a trim.

So what do you think? :luvlove:

Need help on blow off/dump valve. The kit came with a large sequencial type which I dont want. So either a factory fit from 2001 STI or re-circulating type. Any ideas?
