You offer some good information most of the time from what I've seen, so not trying to offend you. But others do too, we are all here just to help and learn. You seem to come off like "Build it like this." at times. Its the internet so I don't think your meaning it that way. So I was just giving you an outsiders opinion on what I've read lately is all.

Even if something is currently "working", there's nothing wrong with trying to improve upon it. I seem to recall you having several threads of no issues with coils, but replaced them anyway or similar situation for intercooler and something about a modified high ram? Nothing wrong with improving on what could be seen as working, it's how learning and innovation can come about.


Tuomas, selfishly looking forward to the new turbo build and how you lay it out. Are you going to keep exhaust all the way out the back like before?

Any recommends of experiences of the different manufacturers?
Other question, does any shop offers manual steering rack for C6?
Thanks in advance!

Would it have helped to do something like this and go in front and to the side of the dash?

But I don't see how a fuel cell is any safer on a street driven car, and doing the one in the rear you have to make a barrier for keeping the fumes out of the cab of the car which could be just as much of a challenge not to mention the fill ups etc...

Either way cracking work getting it tucked up out the way!
