Loving the wastegate pipes.Cosmetically, they may look better one above another to one side of the exhaust or one either side of the exhaust.
Like this if you will:

I quite like the double barrel shotgun look... but Im not totally sold on it.
What I am sure of is I don't want to integrate them into the big exhaust and want to make an unusual feature of them... so all sugestions are welcom
Yes I've spent a lot but definatelly not a limitless budget hence I am doing almost all the work/design myself.... I designed the clutch arrangement (never used in a noble before) the single turbo and exhaust... I cut and modified the chassis myself and have done all the body mods myself.
Might even paint it myself.
If I paid someone to do all this stuff Im sure it would cost a small fortune lol

I bet if you put your mind to it you could build a whole car from scratch!
I have a little update... Ive had a lot of issues with the engine that I cant go into on here... however I picked it up on saturday.
Its effectivelly a brand new unit as all I have left of the engine that was in the car a year ago is one of the head castings and that has been heavily flowed etc.
here is the long engine ready gearbox etc
I designed a triple plate clutch as I already had the highest spec one thats fitted to the modded UK cars and it is marginal at the 550ftlb and I might go above that
Because I have modified the rear chasis the engine can be assembled out of the car with exhaust etc... means its much quicker and easier to fit the engine, so I had it in within a day.
had the turbo and the exhaust pre turbo zirotec coated to keep the heat in
I decided to get a new petrol tank made as the std system is not great and there is no room on the car for a swirl pot... so I fitted one in the fuel tank and will run two 044 pumps to fuel the car (gonna sell the A1000 I had previously)
got a few bits and peices to get made now engine is in place like oi return lines to turbo etc but hope to start the car in the next few weeks

What kind of anti-lag will it be running? The AL that I am familiar with is not kind to turbos at all!
will run the motec eventually, however not too often as it tends to kill things as you say... mainly want to run the traction control etc.Initially however I will run it on the MBE with a safe map and then I will later push it harder with the Motec and all the safeties it has
