Thanks guys!! Hopefully the new turbo will go on without any dramas once I get it that is, already have a top mount manifold on it ( I'll upload some bay pics soon ).. Sorry deano I should have mentioned it's running a frount mound and 3" straight through setup to a dumpy. The coulor is a Toyota one from what the previous owner told me so old like to think it's unique. Finally finished the central locking aswell was actually easier than I thought once I searched ct and found a install guide. Also have white venetians now I think it sets the rear end of nicely.

Are you still running standard ecu and injectors?

Yeah all standard my mechanic informed me my boost gauge is stuffed so may not be 15lb. It should be surging from lack of fuel if that was the case but nevertheless she still hums. Not just trying to get pop ups to work and safe to say not having a good time doing it but all experience gained haha

Looks nice mate...green and black wheels go really well Top of your list should be a new ECU if you plan on bolting a 35 to it, along with a bigger fuel setup
