    Thanks Guys.
    I've kept it looking as close to stock as possible too. Even under the bonnet looks stock as I've used black silicone hoses, and opted for all other bolt ons in black too.
    By next week I'll try to post some more images in my garage for viewing.

    Very nice, I didn't realise the Nebulas would fit ?
    Also what plasma coils have you fitted by the way ?

    Hi
    The coils are: http://www.vivaperformance.com/plasm...es-pd5004001r/
    They are from the supplier okadaprojects.com where they detail the spec and advantages of plasma coils.
    I'm also running an IPD HD TCV which i missed off the list.
    Hope that helps.

    The nebulas only fit with the spacers mentioned in my list. I think the minimum is 10mm front and rear to get them to clear the calipers. I went for 15mm on the rear because a wider rear suits the car better.

    Hi
    Because my old turbo was cracked all the way through the housing, Owens wouldn't work on it as they would not be able to provide a warranty on a cracked turbo. So I they bought a replacement K24 new and worked from that. Hence my cost spiralled. If your turbo isn't cracked it should be around the £500 mark I would think. Name:  IMG_8753.JPG

    Similar to the s60r I recently bought, had a billet wheel fitted by turbo dynamics, but original turbo had issues so previous owner bought a new k24 to start from (new exchange), did 20 miles and spun a big end bearing. So I've purchased a good used one to replace it with and now have a virtually new k24 with billet wheel.
