Don't all wastegates make fizzing noises because of the turbo rotating? Or something like that. It's only dump valves that make a whoosh noise isn't it?

Yup, you're right.

Makes a pleasant change tbh =]

For those that may be interested, the turbo, 5" Borla muffler, set of V clamps and a few bits of pipe are now up for sale, looking for around £700

Ive right royaly ****ed things up this time and I dont think there is any going back.....

Ouch, sounds bad mate. Almost as bad as how things were around my place last year...

****ed things up? Uh oh sounds bad... you ok?

Here we go...this is a pic of the turbo, the borla muffler, the 12an fittings, clamp (x10) and the pipe (x5)

Im now tempted to trade/swap against a larger car, im thinking along the lines of BMW E30/E36/E34/E39 tourings (possibly a err derv) or Merc W124 / W202 estates (again possibly derv) or anything of that prestige/type i.e. something thats not totally driven by modern electrics!! (I hate em)

Ooooh and there is a 50p hidden in there somewhere, just to give you a size aspect

You cant tell me this wouldnt look awesome inside someones engine bay
