Sorry, not really been up to scratch with this. So a few weeks ago I went to go and pick up some Challengers and some Nimrods from Jamie/Ryan. Currently got the Nimrods on but will be going Challengers once they've had a refurb etc.
I've managed to get a fair bit done but sort of taken a step backwards at the moment as I needed to take the inlet pipe back off to get it drilled and tapped.
So far I've fitted:
-FMIC
-Boost gauge
-MBC

I had a little bit of an issue last week with the MBC, I had used Mikalor style clamps and all done up well.. took it out for the first run, warmed up then went full throttle full boost... the needle went off the gauge, so at least 30psi... stopped pretty quickly, checked it and the hose had come off so I assume caused massive overboost, and slightly lifted the head.
Anyway that's all okay now.

Ive still got the clutch & turbo to fit, but that will come soon hopefully..

Super OEM solution to throttle cable, no cable ties here!
