just a little update....
Ordered the oversized forged pistons, rods, head gasket, and head studs today, should be here in a few weeks!
Next step is to order the gas flowed head, ECU, clutch, injectors and a few other bits i've probably forgotten!  on its way now!! woop woop!!

i believe it's when the innards of the head are smoothed/opened out etc to improve gas flow

i think air is pumped round the head and measured to see what it rates at - think this is the 'gas flowing bit'

just another little update.....
Finished off my gauge holders a few days back, its a bit different but i do like it! at the moment its displaying boost and oil pressure the backlight is red so that looks pretty smart too!
Don't know about the colour yet.....im going to see what its like in the car when its back together properly!
Looks pretty cool in my opinion though
What do you guys recon?
All the hard work was done mostly by RTSprint and Wilko, i just finished it and took the glory
