well it's all looking good

so see how you go with the air pipe and you could alway take it off later. It will be nice to know what the differance is like between the t3 and the gt17.
Good luck for the weekend

well im dirty, cold, cut up and shattered but its all in and running. just gota road test and check that ive got no leaks on the vast plumbing system.

but it seems my rebuilt turbo works as its not smoking :)

only issue i have is i need to get a silicone bend to come off the turbo for more clearance
