Hi Simon. I've just read your thread from the start; it just keeps getting better! Stunning! Keep up the excellent work :)

love what you've done with the bleed valve, only those with a keen eye will see it

Looks so nice, love the attention to detail, even the well disguised bleed valve

Looks awesome mate cannot wait to see the finished product.

Ok then readers,

Its been a long time since the last photo update, as I have been so so busy with work and the charity sutff (see the link) http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=418321

Anyway I made some time this afternoon and got working on the car and got lots of bits sorted.



Ok then its Question time.

The hose that comes from the actuator, turbo, bleed valve what is everyone using to hold the hose on (ie zip ties, jubilee clips)

Thanks simon.

great progress!

I dont use anything on the small hoses (probably should though!), but zipties are your best bet IMO.

tiny little zip ties here too

I spotted they do them in a few different sizes, probably worth getting a selection.

Those hose clips are all over the vaux stuff I'm using, seem to work well. Engine bay is coming along nicely mate, good to see some familiar parts being put to good use :)
