Sooooooo, picked up the bits from peugeot. 2l of genuine gearbox oil, 5l of engine oil, manifold gasket, breather pipe to replace my leaking one, manifold nuts and a full pack of sump washers.

Got my battery terminals on the new wiring, it was a tight fit to get 35mm2 wire into them but its done now, just need to run them and crimp ends on which will be a pain in the arse without the right crimps but I'm hopefully gonna do it with the vice.

Got the start of the downpipe welded up and added my air filter and well its quite a length when it's all together.

So decided it was time to fit it in the bay. Still haven't quite worked out how I'm going to make a mount up as theres not alot of good spare bolt holes in the engine bay but I'm sure I'll work it out.

Finished the day by getting the car on stands with the wheels and hub nuts off and engine and gear oil drained out. Tomorrow I'm going to take both the shafts out (need to replace one anyway, and the other runs through the lower mount that is getting a red powerflex. Having both shafts out improves access to the turbo and manifold as well so once those are out I just need to make the manifold plate as I already have the turbo one and crack on with welding up the link pipe and mounts.
If that all gets done tomorrow I'll be surprised but its nice to have an aim.
