nice pickup mate, tidy looking car. Loving the red wagon at the moment and the missus has already angled to drive it a couple times. Will be a challenge to keep it to myself

Where's the BOV gone?
Also, can you put up more pictures of the cooler piping please? Especially up near the inlet manifold and turbo. I don't think I've ever seen FMIC piping take this route.
Cheers.
Oh, and nice pick up. Looks neat.

I think I spotted you this morning at that big roundabout on Kent St near the Curtin Tech Park?

Probably still running the factory BOV underneath 'but not connected to', the piping.

Mine was like this previously.

The BOV was not on the car when I got it.

It's makes a nice, but different BOV sound it makes the sound - not loud, it just echoes a few times. I imagine the echoing ventilation sound is because of the FMIC piping and wastegate inside the turbo.

Haha!! Hope you like it man, that car was my baby.

Now I've just gotta get this one upto the same performance.

Let me know when you want to pickup the stock exhaust and towball rear bar I've got them in the back shed.

I might even be able to drop them off next week - fingers crossed I'll be picking up a ute on Tuesday.
