It's just my wide angled shot, it was just a standard car.

It's my mate Tom who's the expert on them. I just instigated it all as when asked if I could make a remote turbo manifold for him out of scrap I said yes, then it snowballed.
I've only ever tweaked mine up a bit from standard, Mr Foxhake et al were the ones winding them up, advancing them so that they sound like a ball bearing in a baked bean tin and throwing legs out of bed every other day of the week.

In the end I made a bastardised ally inlet from an XUD and a Gti 6, a 4 into 2 into 1 stainless remote manifold and a mahoosive free flowing exhaust that just cleared the bulkhead.
Tom made his own Arduino controller for a huge VNT turbo, had the head flowed and flow benched to prove the figures, had the engine blue printed, got custom H section rods made in China and had the pump rebuilt by Dieselmeken in Sweden etc etc etc.

Circa 237bhp & 327 ft/lbs maybe more in the end iirc?

They are 90bhp standard.

That it? Should have just put a tuned 1.8t into it instead...

This is what I got from the factors. Will it be okay?

No.

You really need this:

Note the higher temperature rating. These engines get really hot under the bonnet.

Do it right, once.

Also your finger nails look flipping horrible and skanky.

You wouldnt like a slap off those hands which incedentally, is what you'll be getting if you don't less your lip.

I'll see if it's fixed first and if it is I'll get some. He's coming tomorrow.
