thanks all,

still need to finish off the exhaust and get it mapped, just one of those things I cant get around to! priority one is to keep it clean over christmas!
 
What procedure+paint did you use to paint your rocker cover?

always loved the idea of a black-antracite coloured intake manifold and rocker cover (wrincle coated) but didnt get round to doing it while i upgraded my engines internals :(
 
i did 3 layers of a heat resistant white primer,
a thermal coating (black when cold, clear when over 30 degrees C)

a layer of 2 part laquer and a layer of 2 part laquer which was half cured (gives a speccled effect)
 
All tucked away during my holidays :D

finger is coming out next month to get this mapped... I need to get a new oil return pipe made for the turbo clock the output by 45 degrees and dump in a new MAF and then off we go... dunno on power but time will tell
 
Ok,

The ball is rolling,

Have a snag list for the car and will have this sorted for the end of next month.

New MAF (to be sure)
ECU (anyone got one?)
Turbo oil return pipe
heavier hose clamps
MAP it,

enjoy,
