Thanks for all the lovely comments guys
As some of you know the car was booked in for mapping on Friday and I didn't make it
I came down with a virus which completely shut down any progress on the car for about two weeks, such awful time to be practically bedridden with mapping round the corner
Car is at the point its almost ready to start up, just a few things I want to get right beforehand and spend a little longer on rather than rush it.
Really not happy with the boost pipes, the turbo kits been an absolute nightmare from the very beginning with things missing, no instructions or parts labelled - just bags upon bags of random fittings and bolts and my pipework just doesn't fit together at all - really not happy after the money I've spent on it and if I could go back again I wouldn't have bought the kit.
I dont have many pictures of progress, just been cracking on with it tbh, but I have a few off instagram I'll post here
got a remote line made up by Hel to run an adapter with 3 take offs for turbo oil feed, oil pressure gauge and the stock oil pressure switch. Hel f*cked up the line, and f*cked up sending it out to me on time again and again so I've had to have another one made up for even more ££ elsewhere
not happy at all about it, but quite like the remote set up I managed to sort out. took a lot of effort getting it together but it should be a lot safer/reliable
many many AN fittings. top service from Torques UK, really impressed with the fittings and the speed they get here!
Car went off for exhaust at AAS in Newcastle, so happy with it. I took the car to them way back when it was on the road in August last year to show them what I had to see if they could replicate the look of my 5zigen exactly, took the car down last friday and they had a few different tailpipes for me to choose from that were exactly like my 5zigen. They've fab'd it with noise in mind so hopefully I'm going to have no issues getting on track with it, it sits nice and tight to the car too

@Tegiwa Imports too.

my painters had my vented wings, and we couldnt decide where to put the side repeaters... took some inspiration from the saxo and they've gone in the side strips
