Looks nice, that old clutch looks seriously broken :S
My stock clutch has always had a bit of chatter in neutral, got told it's the bearing in the clutch that's broken, and new ones will break within ~40k miles or so, but apart from the noise it shouldn't be critical. Still a bit annoying though, gotten worse lately aswell :/

i said it wasnt going to be easy without a ramp id have hated doing that on axel stands.
did you get any pics of the bit you drilled out?

Yea, it was a right PITA doing it on axel stands mate. But we got there in the end :)

Not the best pic but we drilled out the hole in the red circle to 5.5mm (I think), there are 3 of them..

Got my boost controll back!!

After checking all pipework for the 3rd time I found a split in pipe from N75 to actuator. It was about 1mm inside the lip of the hose clip and also on the back side so hard to see...

Cut it back and all sorted. Cant believe I missed it twice!!

Eventualy got round to fitting my A pillar pod & oil temp gauge that I've had sitting round for months :redface:

Moved the boost gauge up there too, so I also moved the head unit back upto the stock position and refitted the DIN pocket too..

Nice pillar :D
Just wondering, do those gauges take a digital readout, or is the boost hooked up to the manifold? And where does the oil temp. take it readings from?
