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?

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
