Looks good so far. If you plan on using the oem heatshiels it's easier to install them before the turbo. BTW the bolts are in proper position for those that haven't done the upgrade yet. Again fantastique!!!

Well the Beast is back on the road

The only thing is, the poor thing is showing up a code 41 (HAS) but was ok before the install :? well it is on the original HAS

Waiting for the RC 550 injectors, then i can fit the 3 bar MAP sensor and i think Paul is ordering a Electronic Boost controller

Yeah i need to check Dico`s Elan too as it`s not ticking over as it did before the install, saying that that could be down to the CAS

BTW, your emails where a huge help :wink:

Injectors have arrived :D . Just need it to stop raining now so they can be fitted along with the 3 bar map sensor.
Currently running very well, and spooling up just as quickly as before. Everest chip still fitted at present.
