Cable ties are remarkably strong N75 will probably be ok but to DV with the bend i would recommend some jubilees
I think the size is 22-30mm

Cheers :)

Moving onto Forge boost hoses and TIP next, new discs and pads, service, MOT, 4 tyres and then a rear anti roll bar to finish it all off.

cheers mate, must say if I could get the smooth power delivery like yours at stage 2 I'd love it.

A lot more grunt to be found than what I have achieved so far so working on that at the moment. Smooth power delivery is down to several things working together, the N249 bypass, Forge UNOS manual boost controller and the map AmD put on the car. Would definitely recommend looking into the MBC's as the overall power might not be as high as others but the way the car holds power is where it all matters
