Looking great Sam, can't wait to see this baby back on the Dyno. You'll break the 300 bhp barrier for sure I recon and probably the first to do it it on a stock K04 tubby..... on Bills rollers at least.

Are you sticking on that hybrid relentless sent you?
no bill, i sent it back as they are making another one lol
i have the agu head arrive today, unsure weather to fit it or not. maybe build it up ready for when the other turbo arrives and fit both at the same time, in two minds atm
Looking good sam. You'll love the THS engine mounts, such a big improvement over standard mounts.
hello all, big update. engine rebuild has now been completed im over the moon at the fast progress and quality of work by my good friend and fellow forum member rick. the following parts have now been fitted.

ARP head bolts
Oem piston rings and honed cylinders
Supertech exhaust valves + seals
THS engine mounts
Relentless manifold

i have uploaded a video below of the first start, fired up pretty well
now time to run the engine in, the car will only be running actuator pressure during the running in process. more good news insurance is now sorted for the next yeah pics and videos to follow below
head stripped
new supertech exhaust valves
rods and bearings fitted
piston rings fitted, cylinders honed
manifold, ARP head bolts and head fitted
IE timing kit fitted

Well done sam nice work! 
out of interest what exactly were you not happy about with how the SFS tip fitted? I'm about to order one from AMD so would appreciate your feedback, though mine will be fitted to a modded airbox not an open cone like yours.
