I remember seeing this for sale, looks really nice with some decent mods too!
Is it still down south-ish?

That looks really nice, especially like the MO's.
For a decent stainless 4 branch and system pm Yoof/Andy from PPP on here. The systems and manifolds they are having made are expensive but probably just about the best you can buy.
What are your future plans for it Neil?

Very nice, love the colour.
Did you fit the intercooler? If so, was it easy to fit the sharon intercooler?

Really tidy example that mate - liking it a lot. Yet another example of people buying back into G40 ownership as well. Good for you!
You got an oil cooler on there? Thought oilcatcher meant catch tank but boost return's still in place? If not that'd be the next thing on my list I reckon.

pretty straight forward really.
Need to make a couple of little brackets to help mount it and work out and get some tube and hoses to connect it up just like any other intercooler. Can't remember exactly what hosesing i used but when i'm working on the car next weekend i can't check it out and refresh my memory as i was quiet a while ago i did it!!
