well i thought it was about time to update this, not sure wether anybody is interested anymore, sometimes im not! haha
well the motor is in, downpipe is all fabbed up as is the straight through exhaust, turbo spools up nicely and fairly quick too, its currently boosting at around 7psi which is standard
the pump has been tinkered with abit, boost pin ground down a smidge, fueling increased, cam plate changed and a lda top to it. nice bit of soot when it boosts
engine bay is pretty much hanging but it is work in progress whenever i can get the time to do it, im currently fabbing my intercooler
and here is a pic of my custom home brew downpipe
just see the intercooler peaking through

Looks good buddy, def wanting a caddy at some point.
Just need to work out if it's best to pay top dollar for a solid one, or do a crezz special

cheers gents, the fun is doing it the crezz way, but one thing is a must and that is toi have a decent work place to do it, that was what held me up and eventually fooked me up as i had nowhere to spray it and had to do it outside, this summer i may go about spraying it again if i can find somewhere suitable.
caddys are good mate, and there arte alot more bits availiable for them now so doing the homebrew effort isint as bad,
top dollar your looking at 4k plus and then its been styled to someone else's taste,
most standard caddys are making £1k easily on the bay for some real sh!tters
ive thought about selling this a few times and it did go up for sale once, ive also got a few locals after it but just dont really want to sell! lol.
went out today in it and everybody has a good look, even the old boys in there granny magnets
