Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo now with VNT

[Frosty]

This is now back running, engine all back together with the 2052v bolted to the back of it. Had to modify the bulk head a bit which i did when the engine was out. I cut it as i thought that would make the tidiest job of it. Made up my own oil feed for it and return pipe. Its currently all plumbed up with coolant system and intercooler but not driveable on the road at the moment. Had to make up a new down pipe for it, tried to use the down pipe i had made up for the K03 but only ended up re using the flexi joint. Mated that back up with the 2.5" set up.

Couple of bits i need to sort, finish sorting the EMP pipping. I got the gauge all sorted in the car and a pipe into the engine bay. Just need to sort the pipe off the manifold. I got the exhaust manifold tapped and a double male ended fitting screw in. Just wondering if people fit filters in their EMP pipping to stop and exhaust gases getting to their gauge?

One other question is the elbow on my down pipe is pretty close to the heater matrix pipe that goes in the head gearbox end. What have people done if they have come up with this issue? I will try and put some protective stuff round the pipe but would still like the pipe not so close. Was thinking about trying to bend the pipe out the head a bit to angle it away from the exhaust.

No pics but will try and sort some out over the weekend
