Yea, thanks for the idea! - i think there is just a bit of welding spatter over it, will have to give it a quick polish when i get it back :)

I think i'm going to leave the hole as is for now, there is no way to get it all to clear without redoing the manifold, so i'm going to leave it. It looks ok actually now that there is a bit of substance there with the piping, it's filled it in nicely :)

At a later stage when it blows and i redo the engine, i may do up another manifold and upgrade the turbo and patch the hole :)

Yeap, it's mounted off the frame, i asked him and he said it wont be a problem..i guess we'll soon see!

:lol: Yea it's a concern that it might scuff on the tire, but it is tucked right up there, i don't think there will be an issue with it. Won't know for sure until my wheels come though which btw will be shipped this friday maybe...then another week to 10 days. That silly man and his wheels :roll:
