I've bookmarked this thread haha. Wouldn't mind doing something like this myself. How much of it is DIYable without major fabrication

Hoping mine shouldn't cost quite so much as I'm not looking for nearly as much power, although after watching those videos I don't know. I suppose there's £1500 just in the exhaust, turbo and management isn't there

exhaust came in under £1000,I also had my manifold modified to run external waste gate
My holset was £350 new,and my management was £630,
That came with everything needed to fit it

HI Indy

What was the final figure for the bhp/torque, and is there anything you would have done different?

How does it drive now that you are used to it?
