    Been a while since the last update, so time to put that right and share a few pic's etc with you all.

    Starting with a motoring disaster when I pulled over to make room for an inconsiderate road user that just had to force his way through and caught a wheel on a nasty bit of road edge break up, that I had never noticed before in my daily runs down that country lane, looked like I got away with just a damaged tyre.....WRONG!!!

    and had a little time to play with the exhaust system, the 15g now is fitted with an ported and polished angled flange exhaust housing and mounted on a S60R manifold, which has had the collector end opened up and ported to match the angled flange. The turbo has also had an adjustable actuator fitted (thanks to P.Fandango)

    obviously the exhaust system would need changing to fit the angled flange setup, so I made a flange to mate to the turbo and got a couple of stainless bends so I could modify the 3" downpipe I bought off Volvostorm a while back along with the rest of his 3" system, a bit of cutting and tacking till I got the fit nice (not a lot of the original dp left), then tig'd up the joints and on she went along with all the other intake bits that had been removed
