When you get chance can you snap a pic of the meth nozzle. I was thinking of more towards the front of the car in that black plastic tube that flattens out... but your place might be better!
Was the turbo a direct fit?

I can fully recommend the Birds kit, I was also debating getting full coilovers but realised I would have no idea how I would want my damping set so went with the Birds kit after reading all the magazine reviews.
It consists of custom tuned Bilstein dampers and Eibach lowering springs and has made the ride so much better suited for UK (London) roads.
Sure, will try and get a pic of the meth nozzle but it was fitted by Road Rage Performance down in Sevenoaks.
I think fitting it in metal was better than in the plastic purely for ease of mind as it'll be a better fit and less likely to become a boost leak.
Turbo is a direct fit, it's a hybrid so its the same OEM turbo but modified with bigger inlet/outlets and impeller wheels.
Turbosystems cater for drift/drag cars so know what they are doing (well I think so).
Another point to mention is the gearbox, the 6 speed manual in the car is a
GS6-53DZ which is apparently used by drifters as it
can handle 1,400Nm of torque which bodes well for the modifications I have made as this was likely to be the weak spot, instead it is the clutch which surprisingly does not slip with 407Hp and 793Nm
