welll, the 'engine' is done, and has been for a while. it's just the ancillaries now - reinstallling the aircon, which means new manifold, new intercooler piping, new exhaust...
atm the exhaust + manifold are being heat treated, they'll be back late this weeks and after thatb is installation, and finishing off cooler piping, then rewiring and tuning... still a few weeks away, but how long have i been saying that :roll:

Not many shops have mandrel bend machines as they are expensive.
Easier and cheaper for most places to buy sections in various curves and cut and weld together. If the guy is a good welder and the penetration of the weld is right the inside will remain flat so will be as good as one section but if too much voltage a lip/ridge will form on the inside will occur and affect flow. Regards Mal

Dan,
The exhaust section looks fantastic. How come the turbo manifold needed to be pushed so far to the passenger side. The entrance into the turbo looks a bit congested with one piece coming in from the side. Ta Mal

basically it's all to clear the airconditioning compressor - i wanted my aircon back! :lol:
and thats another reson for the heat treating too - so i dont 'melt' the compressor, as it's reasonably close
