Had a leaky charge pipe, they're also prone to exploding/cracking with the higher boost pressures so that's been upgraded to a nice metal pipe, complete with cnc oem flanges so fitment is perfect.
Original, note the oily residue:

Upgraded charge pipe, it does actually have a port for meth injection - something i may look into for future:

I decided to retain to stock diverter valves instead of going for a shouty BOV, may see what they sound like venting to atmosphere.
Andy also did a little '30-70' video, currently seeing a boost response/lag issue which I'm fairly certain is down to the boost solenoids just being aged (they sit right above the super hot turbos) - which is seeing boost come in about 3-500 rpm later, still looks to be between 3/4 seconds
