Its there to speed up the exhaust gasses and reduce turbulence when entering the T4 flange as the pipes and the openings on the flange are now the same size:yes

Many thanks for the name stickers and all who are now sponsoring me, its a huge help and I have decided that your monies will go to the Fire Extinguisher system that I need to have to actually race the car as that way I have something tangible to show for the help you guys given.  

For the stickers I\'m going to wait till the cars up n running so I can clean the car up and then take my time putting them on.

Just so you know, just like myself and Lisa, the series organiser Nippon Challenge organiser was blown away when I told him how all you guys were helping to get this car out there:god.

The manifold, down pipe and Turbo have arrived back to be finally bolted on, wow they look good, its a real shame the pictures don\'t show how sparkly silver the down pipe and manifold are :Thumbsup!

The fuel system is also coming together with a now simplified set up of not the 044 but a Walbro Motorsport pump that Kerim has mounted as a direct replacement to the stock pump then put a bulkhead fitting in the top as a return ---------------its getting there :mmmm
