in that case few more for you lol , thought idmake/ buzz up a quick intake
well decided to make a little start on a homemade short runner as im having heat soak issiues in high boost, problem is in a mk1 room is tight , ie front rad/fans/rear 6speed gearbox and transforbox near steering rack so unsure how it may turn out , first old engine picture

decided to polish rocker cover

welded some alloy tubes on

not over happy but fits and works ,just wish i had more room to make a clyinder type

cheers let me tell you something that dam downpipe was a chuffing nightmare as trying to get a 3inch pipe bent around to miss servo then undermanifold misinf 6speed gearbox the making room between transforbox.drive/steering rack ,then out between prop and chassi , very limited in a mk1

cheers guys always nice to have a decent relpy........ not mutch to add , got a quick pic to add in a bit , then i need to make some side pipes , id like straight thew but they would be so chuffing noisey, also another plan , im thinking doing away with 4wd , and fit a lsd instead , but carnt think whats best to do 2wd lsd 4wd no lsd ?

well basicly started as a bit of fun , from a old 1.6 4speed oil burner , i thought id just add a vr , then thing progressed to 6speed , turbos , then couldnt get tracksion so , thought id thow a electric 2/4wd system , helped loads, with steering been heavy just modifed a caddy van dash, fitted vr6 clocked rewired a few bits , and carried on from there really ,, missed one lol
