Not big enough but will have to do for now.

We will change it for next year when we upgrade the turbo.

I don't know about swift progress. I've been collecting parts for over two years.

It's been a bit easier to get on with it recently as work has been quieter.

I want to know where you're putting the second steering wheel.

I presume you will be fitting rear steer, I rule out nothing with you boys!

I would say that there are 2 thermocouples and 2 sample tubes/chambers.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

That's right John.

There is also a pressure tapping and thermocouple boss at the turbo flange.

There is so much instrumentation it is starting to look like a Xmas tree :)

Very good.

I may have to pinch some ideas from this manifold/dp combo *smiley*

Just rang NMS. The rolling road is pretty much fully booked up to the end of the month and we are away most of July and early August, so Plan B is to get it setup the week before MitP.
