apart from the WG arm it isnt that bad!? there wanst much else they could do with the WG arm/bracket

Better to have the turbo top mounted like that I'd say rather than under the manifold.
Shouldn't get as hot there, tho you might find the plastic drip tray get a bit brittle :)

Looks like a nice setup, also price for bits isn't too bad. Also interested to see the manifold setup.

Look forward to seeing the numbers when finished.

Did you go for the removable V band CAT idea?

Excellent. Thats gonna be so easy to swap the cat back when required.

Just thought, get some heat sleeving for the coilpack wires also.

What is the manifold made of? assume it's not cast?

Did RPM buy one of the established manufacturers Mani's or do they make their own?

not really any great ones, there hard to see any thing but may be a part of 2 runners. but why the "made"? its not just sitting there

"made" as in did they cut n weld it themselves or get someone else to...

as in made or bought...

RPM removed all my old eliminator kit, got the car to the guy/company who do there manifolds, dps etc. they also gave this guy a spare head to work on.

he/they made the manifold, dp, intake and a pipe to mee the IC pipe at the comp exit.

they mock fitted this as you can see in the pics.

RPM are fitting it properly and modifying or doing any thing else that needs doing if any problems arrise.
