Just find it funny that you've moved half way across the country but still manage to get someone in the dockyard to sort you out What's your currency? Hob Nobs? Coffee or a few cans?
Once i've got the charge pipes for the IC done I'll have all the pipework powdercoated black too
Considering its 150+ degrees coming out of the turbo anyway the whole heat thing is more a myth than anything else... cooler air generally doesn't make much difference at all once its been through the compressor... having a decent intercooling solution is where it makes all the difference...
Thats not to say decent heat management under the bonnet won't help... turbo engines generate lots of heat... better off managing heat from the source as best you can... (lots of heat shielding around the bits that generate heat)I'll get my coat...

Will your setup be MAFless? I know you are have a standalone ECU - but cant recall in your previous setup whether you removed the MAF.
Are there any concerns about the catch can to TIP being so close to the air filter? I did read that you are making sure gravity will take any actual fluid or emulsified gloop down away from the filter.
Are you making a bracket to support the air filter and if so connected to the engine block or the body work? although I don't expect your engine will move much due to stiff mounts.
With that in mind @Prawn,will you be ceramic coating & wrapping your exhaust manifold and downpipe?
I found that helped reduce heat production from that area on my last turbo car.
vents at the back of bonnet to let the hot high air pressure out
And all those road miles you make following the dutiful fitment of this legally required tree-saver, ofcourse.Not the most beautiful thing in the world, but plenty good enough for the MOT once a year
What thickness/gauge are the alloy bends your using?
What type of welder are you using for that?
Cheers Sam,
The bends are all stainless. I think they're 1.5mm wall thickness.
My welder is a Clarke 150a Mig that I got for my 12th birthday 19 years ago!
I’d love stuff like that for my birthday when I was 12 nowadays they just want a phone or money (god I sound old ha )
Do you know what you had for your eleventh. ???
Not keen why?cut and shut from stock parts (Nick's not keen)
DIY central!!!
Not gunna get aluminium coolant flanges?
