    Intercooler piping finished and new silicone connections arrived..

    not too happy with the second pipe it was poor quality stainless steel and the TIG reacted with it.

    New Fuel pump fitted.
    had a slight issues with the fitment of the pump as its 10mm longer than the Standard one so had to modify the housing and add an extra o ring.
