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

Man, that's MEGA awesome

What you puttin' them on? Are these the early ones that fit on carb'd 3.5s and so on?

Should be a blast

Did I mention - I want?

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!).
