Looks very nice. I was wondering what type of tubing, grade and thickness that you are using for your exhaust manifold and down pipe. Lastly, what waste gate flange pattern are you using? Good luck with your kit.

http://www.rpmperformancecentre.com.au Thats where Jehan got it from, I am going to have them build me a manifold for the 20B engine, their work looks really good as from pics, and TIM responds to his emails quickly and is helpful. Can tell you the specs of the piping

My kit is on the way from RPM. YEAH VERY EXPENSIVE! NOT, I paid well very low price. I got the turbo kit, intercooler, and pipes for the same price an XS turbo kit runs. Gotta love Austrailia

I already ordered mine also but we should have done a group buy.
Tim seemed to be open to such an idea.

guys i just talk to these guys and found out they DONT accept credit cards! you have to wire cash..if your not happy with anything you pretty much screwed!!! My friend bought a 20B motor from a guy in Australia and payed cashed (wired) and motor was totally f*uc*ed up and had to pay 14% import duty taxes on top of it all when his motor arrived..**** does happen

guys be very careful...i love credit cards! :0

I wired my money to Tim @ RPM last week. It took about 2-3 days to clear. Upon clearing, I was contacted that the money arrived and shipment would occur within a week. I recieved the full kit two days ago. Everything looks well. I will be going up to KDR today to drop the kit off.

Someone probably doesnt like the fact that this kit can be had at such a low price. All this talk maybe twisting someone's panties. Ed, PM me. I dropped off my kit today at KDR. Install should be done by next week.
