looking really good now, sounds nice aswell!!

bet you can't wait to get it out on the road?

on a side note, towards the end of that vid as the camera pans up towards the air filter there seems to be a leak / puff of something comining from hose joiner / behind the engine / left of the turbo, might be worth checking your connections !;)

cheers guys , i just a normal guy really not stuck up ,just did this for somert differnert i supose ,,,
that smoke was the engine breather pal lol nothing seroius ,,
but ive dam proper over fueling issuise at mo ,
ive a problem which im sure is electrical , everything was fine until i refitted the new engine ,
problem is , when the igition is switched on i usely hear 1 click which usely comes from the injectors , but now when i turn the igition on it makes a constant click click click etc for approx 6 to times 8 b4 it stops , and its eating fuel like turning a tap on , and which it runing really rich ,so im 95percent its a injector wireing fault were im unsure as it also dose this when the engine is turned off , , ive cheked all the earths and the main live feed which is coupled to the coil pack then run back inside the car , ive also re checked the ecu and re burnt my map , (it wouldnt sent first said low voltage ) then it resent , still having the same problem , as i thought it was a air problem with dragging air in on the manifold , but its defo fuel as 1 galon lasted 4mints , lol , it as also blown the injector fuse ???
ive changed the fuel reg
all 6 injectors
checked all earths
