meant the tank above the alt, I presumed it was long so dropped down quite a bit.

No dude - its shallow and miles from the alt!

Will get the hoses and clamps sorted next weekend - ordered a load off eBay and they are all the wrong size! lol

So today she went for her first drive! Albeit with the exhaust cable tied to the gear linkage and with no exhaust - it was quite noisy! lol

Seems to go well enough (in first and second) but as I only had pikey hose clamps as soon as it came on boost they all popped off! lol

Also had time to tidy the header tank up...

Will get the proper inlet cover fitted next weekend, now that I know where to trim!

Very true - its not really a sleeper, but then sleepers dont really exist as Ben says.

Should be quite fun with the phase button pressed! Needless to say that didnt happen in the 5 mins I had driving back and forth in the yard!lol

How long are you back for Ben?

Only spent 2 hours on it yesterday - but managed to get the bits done that I wanted...

Modified the proper top hat cover

Fitted the proper boost hose clamps

Fitted full silicone chargecooler pipes (black)

Flushed the gearbox and filled with fresh fluid
