The ally tubes are cut from a scrap damaged scaffold tower section, and polished.

Just a test fitting, which is why the hose clamps ar loose/missing
Should make 80 bhp stock, I'll run it a bit then start upping the boost and fuel.
Should be making 1.8 8V GTI type power but with more torque, far more economy, and the tendancy to not burst into flames in an accident.

thats exactly what I had to do with my battery.
my boost pipes are still plastic drainpipe solvent welded together, with bits of the origional rubber hose! - a proper bodge, it seems to be doing ok at the moment, its putting up with 1.3 bar :twisted: haven't had any leaks in a while :roll:
