split with the mrs so had a crack on the last few nights till stupid o clock to get the car done to keep my head busy. still not got turbo back yet will be done by monday then im having tuesday off to try get it all on and running, boost pipes all on the lot. Soldered all the wiring connections in the loom,hidden all the wiring in the bay, made myself a high/low boost switch as well for the crack of it. Going to spend all day with my mate tomorrow and get everything else that needs doing/fitting then all i need to do is put turbo and pipes and stuff on then it will be mapping time

got every single piece of wiring done on the car i can think of now. Used a shed load of solder and heatshrink but at least its all done properly. No twisted wires and electrical tape. If all goes well tues when i get the turbo back and its all back on i might take it for a little razz see what shes running like.
