By a bus!
Update:
Clutch and Flywheel working like a dream. Very Quiet aswell.
New Toyo Tyres are amazing, grip is unreal.
New coolant sensor didnt really make a different but had it changed anyway.
New thermostat seems to kick in really early :S don't know if this is how its meant to be but I kind of like it.
Rear bump needs refitting as I went through a puddle and water scooped in the bumper and pulled it back a good inch!
I'm looking at getting some coilovers next month as I'm happy with the power atm.

Sounds good mate!! and what do you mean the clutch is quiet?
Was you going through the puddle at some speed? Or was it just a fcuking deep puddle?

Clutch and flywheel is quiet for a single mass unlike some kits.
Went through a deep puddle at 30mph =\

Intercooler (twin pass 2.5") Ordered.
Piping Kit (Aliminum) Ordered.
90 Degree Silicone Bend (Coming off bottom of Turbo) Ordered.

Here is the 90 Degree bend that I'm replacing with Silicone, the pipe I ordered is 63mm which is meant to slide straight over the turbo rather than slot in. I measured this up so hoping this all fits!
As you can see the seal is completely gone, I can wobble the pipe around like its not even connected and you can also here a wooshing noise from this, so must be a fairly big leak.
Now with this metal pipe thats standard.
It seems big enough standard so I may be leaving this here, just clean it all up.
Heres the old intercooler...guess what...seal gone... ¬_¬
Heres the bottom of my engine.
Clearer picture of IC
Heres another leak...taped up lol...but this is going when new pipes arrive.
IC.
Backbox, Yes very dirty! Does polish up well.
Decat.
Better pic of pipes.
Bumper before, if you notice scrapes of bad bits please ignore! this was from when my springs snapped!
Will all be fixed soon.
Bumper after being stripped!

Ah crap please don't tell me that's a bad sign 
The turbo isn't screaming but I have noticed my oil level had gone down.
But anyway its all getting done Saturday so I will check.

From what everyone else mechanic wise has told me apparently this amount of oil is normal.
Fuzzy, I will let you know

It's just built up over time.....the oil level isn't dropping....so I'm sure if it was "that bad" I could notice the oil level dropping?
