Defi gauges and install stuff

The Defi gauges arrived last week before I left for a trackday (pics will follow).
I got EGT, Oil temp and boost as well as an a pillar pod and sandwich plate.

Kakimoto Racing exhaust install

So today, finally I was able to install the Kakimoto exhaust after 2 month waiting for it to arrive.
A little work had to be done, but i'll let the pics do the talking.
Here are before and after videos:

Before


After


As you can see a lot of little crap had to be done to the old bolts on the car and it wasnt easy to install at all.

Getting there: Parts arriving, engine getting done

The parts above arrived and the engine is done. One part is sadly missing which is still that tensioner, prolly somewhere in the mail.
Engine builder said, it was horrible working on the car. A lot of crap was done to it before.
The exhaust is as thought a Kakimoto, but 2 hangars a missing and one is bent a little and I also need to buy exhaust gaskets for it pretty soon as well.
I am trying to figure out what to do with the ECU, as its not just a simple plug and play, but will prolly have the water system run on its own sensor without the ECU, as thats the major difference in the 2.

I will post all pics as soon as i can, but ive been travelling around a bit.

Engine parts arriving

Today the major parts arrived at the mechanic, they were suppose to get there monday haha.
The tensioner i ordered yesterday from Austria and should get there monday then. I called to italy, UK, germany netherlands to try and find a tensioner in stock and got lucky with a rallye team out of Austria.

Ordered the parts for the engine

As stated before I had ordered lots to get the engine back to spec, but sadly one part is not in stock. the Alternator Tensioner and this is troublesome, because its one of the more expensive and important parts. I have been looking around if I can find it somewhere else, but had no luck as of yet. This is the part I am missing.

random pics

Here are some random pics from 2 weekends ago. Clayed down and polished the car and everything :D
