I couldnt quite believe my eyes when I went to pick it up, it looks so much nicer than I had pictured in my mind.

Now to build an engine and gearbox to slap it on.........

Quick question, what was used for the pipes and bends thickness wise ?

Is it some 316L for plumbers jobs ?

Rusty by nature

Advantage, they are just plain mandrel bent bends, not really sure what they are supposed to be used for.

304 and 1.5mm wall thickness. We ll see how long it lasts.

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Very nice Pinky.

Would be nice to match that to a stainless fab'd inlet as Jean says, with injector pockets.

What are the plans with that spec turbo unit ?

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.

Well I just want a nice road car with some decent power. Standard boost with a intercooler, ill be happy with 100 bananas. Not many full race minis here make over 100 so I reckon it will do me fine. (Oh and its just a std box and I have a nack for blowing them up in spectacular style)

You'll love a nice low boost turbo set up for road use, nice and torquey with no need to change gear. Of course that manifold deserves to be used with serious boost at some point!
