Hey guys, I have been so flat out at work ive barely had time to put any updates on here so my apologies but here are a few photos of where its at atm Here is what ive done with the engine bay! The rocker cover i got powder coated in the original holden wrinkle red. I powder coated my inlet plenum in a colour similar to MX grey.. which i personally think looks pretty sweet. My exhaust manifold is HPC coated in black aswell as my dump pipe & my turbo rear housing to keep the under bonnet temps as low as possible. As for the turbo i stuck with the Garrett GTX42R which is a pretty good turbo for street and track Let me know what you guys think as im all for suggestions i promise i wont take aslong this time with the updates haha Not long to go now till its complete and running (fingers crossed) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
