After much messing around and cutting the bastard thing finally fits! I will be having a removable slam panel fitted though as its a bit of a bitch to get in position how it is at the moment. There is a bit of room as well and i think with a bit of messing and moving the actuator the new turbo will fit :lol: :lol:

Also the coolant pipe is actually further away from things than it is at the moment as before the intake pipe used to rub on it where as now there is loads of space. Rick

I want to see a genuine 400bhp@the wheels at some point :lol: :lol: It will probably be the most undrivable car in the world like and require tyres every week but who gives a fuck!. Rick

400bhp :twisted: i was looking at a some hefty super cars last wk end as in our local shopping center they had a few on show there was a carrera turbo which looked rapid as fek on paper and a rarri which once rolling i rekon a good 300bhp+ nova would have a fair chance?! the carrera would deffo thrash it but this rarri didnt look all that on paper think it was bout 380bhp?

yeah but rear wheel drive, superior traction! The Nova would still put up a fair decent fight anyway.

A BM owner or a subaru owner and etc WOULD be pissed off when they get wasted by a nova, but a rarri owner? He'd still be laughing, just for the fact that he owns a FERARRI.

Not that the 'little guy' in the Nova wouldnt be grining from ear to ear.

Very nice, you're right though it is tight.... All the manifolds are the same length from each cylinder to the turbo collector. This removes what's called turbo pulsing and unlike the kkk manofold won't cook piston 3 :wink:

Quality bit of kit.
