cheers for all your comments guys. yeh got rid of tht sound deadening loose as much crap as possible.
Hopefully I will get it running this week. if im lucky lol, ive sorted the manifold, i no its not the best way of doin it. but for me and my dad and my wallet it was by far the best option.
it should work ok. cnt see it affecting any thing, i need a big heat sheild tho. to protect some water pipes and the battery but i could always move the battery.
still got to plumb the turbo in but wnt b tht difficult and ive also got the wiring to finish sorting out as well as the fueling to sort out. got an inline fuel pump to fit and gotta make the fuel lines a bit bigger so they fit on my fuel pump. then hopfully she will start. it turns over as it is so tht always a gd start lol
