Pic of one of my freshly painted exhaust turbo manifolds all built up. The tin of spray paint had a dark red cap on . . . ah well I think the orange looks a little better!

hahaha yeah that would be ace lol!

Turbos are Rotonmaster T04Bs on Janspeed manifolds - yeah one for each bank. Thinks they are .40A/R exhaust and .50A/R compressor. Low boost setting at 6psi. The external wastegates are old skool but cool :)

yeah, came on a SD1 Vitesse, think it was a factory option (Ah them were the days!) from janspeed. I have an original brochure at home as well!

Not using the carbs as i changed to a 3.9 so weren't jetted right and want to use fancy stuff like launch control and wasted spark ignition, so megasquirt and EFI were the way to go. Its a bloody long process tho!

Power figures should be circa 280bhp/320lbs/ft I think (well, I hope!).
