How does it get back down to the exhaust??

Tricky route!
By running quite close to the brake pipes & M/Cyl, apparently.

You might wanna bear that in mind Phil - fabricate a heatshield?

i am not fabricating anything, dont get my hands dirty , the guys who are doing it are on top of the game so, i am sure they know more than me, and its just that pic that makes it look so close

It is very similar to another rhd turbo set up i have seen, so should be cool

Ah yes Nick, I can see it looping back over the top of the manifold.

Bonnet is going to be red hot!

The turbo itself will be emitting gas at several hundred deg c and will no doubt glow red white and blue - i'd be looking at vents!

Well had a call from Mase on fri evening, and he said that the car had been dyno'd

It was on my stock engine (125k) stock exhaust/cat, and normal fuel

From what i remember ( as i was alittle tipsy watching the UFC in newcastle) he had just carried out the first dyno and it was at 9 or 10 psi and came out at 400 rwhp

I will hopefully try and get the dyno plot later but not long been back from newcastle. I do know he is carrying out more test on it with more boost and race gas aswell so as soon as i know all i will show
