Watched this happen on youtube the other night. Boy did it get hot!! Manifold started glowing red then bang turbo went pop lol
well car is now 10mm lower again all round.....decat too
main update being i had to have a small vent cut into the bonnet to help release hot air too cool the engine as its so tight under there. the workmanship is top notch but im not 100% happy with the look but if it means keeping my engine cool then so be it

Function over form eh! Its subtle though, much better than doing something like grafting an F50 vent in or a pair of Cosworth-style vents. Top job, I say
na it still runs at just under 90 and always has done, it was just really really hot around the turbo .... its definatly better now and cools down a lot quicker, it will be good for the summer if stuck in traffic
