Thanks for the comments guys, I don't know if I couldn't imagine selling up as I don't want to be boring and buy a different car.
Tried to get an insurance quote with turbo ticked on the modifications part and nobody will even give me a price haha. Hoping my insurance company will do it as I've been with them 3 years now, so it may not be a road car at all

Try ringing round companies, sky, brentacre, Adrian rip off flux etc,
Completely different to doing an online quote once you've done a turbo conversion etc

Oh and my minion (the foreman) makes sure I don't slack

This hasn't died for those of you wondering, been having a huge clear out in the garage its at so have plenty on room,
Back axel is out and is shagged, both bearings and pins are very worn. Will be getting blasted and painted with new pins and bearings.
Helix clutch and forged rods and some new big end bearings (acl) are on order as the oe bearing I got are shite.
Boost pipes have been plumbed up aswell as the braided lines for the brembos and all underneath cleaned and painted
How it stands

Good progress mate! Did you do the mani yourself?
What rad are you going for?

Thanks mate, hows your build going ? Are you mapping it yourself ?
Got the manifold cheap off ebay as im working silly hours so decided this would be the best option, just need to figure out how to put an external wastegate runner on.
As for the rad ive got a brand new standard one but thinking of getting a full alloy one from a honda civic as i will be able to move it to the passenger side instead of all the way accross

The build itself is done, just waiting to get mapped now.
Did the base-map myself, however it isn't optimal.
I've booked a session at DP-Engineering the 1st of october.
(That is, if he's going to reply to my follow up mails. If not I will go to a different mapper)
Getting the wastegate on that mani shouldn't be too much of a problem.
With a good drill you can get 38 mm hole in and then just fabricate the runner through the 3rd and 4th runner. Loads of room there 
The reason why I'm asking is that the mani/turbo is very much to the front.
Worried about room for the rad there.

Thats good news, i expect some videos of it when its all mapped up properly.
Yes the manifold sits pretty far forwards thats why i may get a civic radiator as they are narrow but have a 50mm core so should cool it better than a standard one.
Just waiting on more parts to arrive but should get some other progress done on the weekend with what i have

Hyya rowan, build is slow at the moment .
Been let down on my clutch from kam racing as they are waiting on omp to make some more, so i have decided to sandblast the underneath of the boot and needless to say i have found rust.
So thats the plan to sort this week have some new rear axle bushes on order and have it all blasted and painted.
Oil feed line is also on its way from torques so keeping myself busy.
