Completed 13BT pics.
Finally got around to completing the last piece of the puzzle. A full 3inch mandrel bent exhaust with a split 2inch pipe off the S5 turbo for the wastegate. After checking the settings on the Microtech it started up first go. Combined with the large extend port it sounds amazing.

Sweet looking setup, but your steering wheel is on the wrong side. It's so nice when they fire up the first time after all the work that's gone into them.

Looks great.

Is the plenum and linlet painted or powder coated? It came up a treat.

Instead of having one downpipe it has a 3" pipe for the turbine and a 2" pipe for the wastegate with a splitter inside the housing to keep exhaust flow seperate. Flows a lot better than having the wasegate gasses slam into a plate like the standard setup.

Thanks man. I'll try to get some footage once the engine's run in and dynoed. A 200mph speedo would be nice.

Drove it around a bit yesterday. The water pump was leaking like crazy so I put a new one in and there's a small leak from the oil cooler. Other then that it didn't miss a beat.

My first impressions on the locked diff are positive. It chirps a bit while parking but otherwise it drives and feels like a normal diff.
