  1. I'll take it Phil - pm me your payment details.
  2. A couple of 40-90 and 70-140 runs would be an awesome comparison...come on fellas
  3. That's the kind of logic I went with to end up with my choice of a 67mm turbo.
  4. Interesting graph - no great suprise. Something to bear in mind though....if a traction control system is working overtime and pulling back the torque due to a lack of grip then dyno graphs don't make for the fairest comparison of road going performance....
  5. Phil - pm me what you're looking for and what ancillaries are included. I assume it's been dry stored and sealed up but please confirm. I am seriously interested but depends heavily on price as I already have one spare and the missus may start asking questions!
  6. Ryan - are you going to do something with this G sensor? I still have the pair of them....
  7. Mike - I just tried to pm you again about getting these arms from you but your inbox was full.
  8. The longer things take, the more it tests your patience! I was never going to be able to jump into it with 100% of my time due to work and time commitments but I'm not far off my plan at all so I'm happy
  9. Does it fit in any particular location under the Spra bonnet Wayne or is it a generic tank of some sort?
  10. I picked the lower runners up today after having the injector bosses welded in - a very nice job once again. I'll get these cleaned up and ready for powdercoating at some point. I need to drill and tap the plenum for my new IAT sensor, strip the throttle body and then all three pieces can then be done at the same time.
  11. Thanks Mig - will do. Hopefully people will find different bits of it useful, or get a few ideas, for different jobs they may end up doing on their own cars.
  12. I bet this will be a slow 3 weeks for you, I'm sure you can't wait!
  13. Good timing then I just picked mine back up from being welded, I'll post a couple of photos up later tonight. Jens at FIC didn't suggest welding but I prefer to see it all sealed up and solid. Plus once they're welded in the powder coating will adhere to everything and run right up to the bore the injector sits in....nice and neat!
  14. Thanks for the comments fellas - if people are liking it and benefitting then I'll keep posting up the photos!
  15. Sent you a couple of questions by pm.
  16. I cleaned the injector boss areas of my spare runners ready to weld in the injector bungs. The instructions don't mention welding but my bungs weren't a tight fit in the runners' counterbores so I wasn't happy going with silicon or anything like that. A couple of people have asked about the details of fitting these bungs so there's a few up close photos below which hopefully make it really obvious as there's nothing to it really. Some kits come with O rings on the bungs to seal against the counterbore in the runner...some are a tight fit and the basic idea is to just press them in....some are slack and definitely need welding. I would classify the FIC ones as a decent sliding fit and would recommend they are welded into place. (In fact, I think I would always have these welded no matter what the fit was like but check the through bore for distortion after welding ). The runners are filthy but they'll be blasted, degreased and powdercoated once these bungs are welded in...I only cleaned the welding area
  17. Damn - I guess that means you didn't get chance to look at my Q's yet! Hope the mapping went well....
  18. I have a spare one Rob, pm me if interested.
  19. I'll be interested to know that as I have something very similar on mine albeit with a third box like the Tanabe. I'm hoping it won't suck too much power.....although there may be some low end gains anyway.
  20. I suppose Gloucestershire is a bit far South?
  21. Damn - if you fancy selling the Aquamist piece, please give me a shout.

    Only joking mate The reason I asked about paying other people is that I always get the impression people pay a sh!tload to traders for work to be carried out especially with stuff like fitting single kits. I wouldn't argue that you £2k was low at all - seems fair to me as it isn't a colossal amount of work. The time (and money) adds up when people want custom fabrication done rather than just fitting bought components.
