Well there you have it, that's all the progress so far. Engine will be dropped in on Monday and intercooler will be fitted, then will get the dump and 3" exhaust made up and fitted. Once that's all done it should be just about there and ready for a tune. Then last of all will be a new paint job which will be same colour.

Just clicked on one of the pics and they are massive, sorry about that. I have no idea how to resize the. Really not happy with the size of them, way too big!

nice mate i like the look

Just a small modification to help the vr4 box fit a little easier

All finished now and dyno tuned, ended up making 194kw at the wheels so I'm pretty damn happy with that. Goes like a rocket and haven't even pushed it to it's limit, still haven't even selected high boost, haven't even come close to wanting to try high boost but really looking forward to it when I feel the urge

I bet the gearbox and LSD make a big difference to how it puts it down. Really keen to see this thing. Glad my motor is still going strong as nails!
