ohh i supose it give you more chance to change your mind on what turbo you use and not have to worry about how much space you have

ive seen some bad attempts of the turbo boxes before

you might have had seen bad bulk head boxs done but not mine so give me a chance ive only just got the mini

hehe, i wasnt putting you down

i was trying to find a pic of one of the minis that i had bought to me for work, the hole they cut was oversized buy about 2cm LOL, and they had put fibreglass round it to fill the gap! make me laugh how they though fibreglass would last?

it was a mess

im sure yours will look great :)heeehee yea i no what your saying mate.i think i will get a manifold rather than cut the mini.see how stubbun i can be lol but not for to long
