Hutch - looks fantastic, but also rather large! The turbo looks like its going to be where the radiator needs to go!

That looks awesome...all you've got to do now is build another one to put at the end of your bed (like I did when I got a bmx for xmas... a while ago lol)

I am sure I saw a thread where you showed images of it just missing the radiator :lol:

The turbo and wastegate all clears the radiator etc - Hitch has posted pics before of this mammoth exhaust manifold!

I did post some pictures before of the engine bay with just the rad missing, all i did was use the old engine as a pattern to make sure everything fitted correctly before i removed it all and re-built it. (Boyd Coddington) stylee.
Admittedly i have had to measure alot to ensure the manifold,wastegate,Koyo rad and the spal fan all fits ok.
I do believe that this is the same manifold as matgt4,also you might find that Tony at fennies will be using one soon too. I was yet again the guinea pig.

Looking very nice mate, that's quite gargantuan! I trust you've got some form of brace to take the weight of the turbo/wastegate and so on?
