"The exhaust although a performance one was designed for a 1.4 an would need to be changed as its restricting the turbos performance even though the car is still a beast, id hate to think how much of an increase youd get by changing the exhaust." .... erm about 1bhp

What exactly does the turbo do? Blow air into the heaters. Cos it certainly aint producing engine boost with that pipework

the pipe going to the bulkhead does a 90degree bend and goes down to the intercooler looking carefully, if so thats ones mega long intercooler pipe, mega lag.

So it's a LET (from the exhaust manifold), with an XE intake, and boost supplying the dashboard...
Please tell me hes not just run a pipe into the car so he can stick a boost gauge in there...

the pipe going to the bulkhead defo does a 90degree bend and then gone down to the front on the car to an intercooler.

Scary thing is, I think I might be right, boost pipe from turbo runs up behind the battery, where the DV thing is, then through the bulkhead and back out into the bay, before goin along the front and feeding the filter at the bottom of the pic
