I like it. Although, you're right-hand-drive, so I'm guessing you have less problems with melting stuff to begin with.

+1 looks like a transformer or an early terminator :) but even provided that I like! I beg you pardon buy why did you change the manifold? bigger turbo and/or going for > 300hp?

I like it. Looks industrial. Makes me want to listen to techno music. Strong Bad style.

We gave you the switch so you could turn the light off and on, not so you could have light switch raves.

It looks awesome, what turbo are you running? I noticed your external wastegate.

It is China made GT2871R 48 Trim
It come with internal wastegate and the accuator it come with is adjustable 0.55bar - 1.0bar,
No matter how I adjust the accuator rod length, the max boost that I can get is 0.85bar only,
So I change to a another up graded accuator, tested before installing, the accuator rod start moving when I apply 1 bar of air pressure,
But on road testing, it only hold at 0.9 bar when boost controller is off, when boost contoller is set at 1.1 bar or any higher,
it still hold at 1.1bar only.
So I weld up the internal wastegate and install the external wastegate.
