first off big thanks to ian for sorting me out with the loom and a few other bits
well took the old dash loom out today wasent to hard with the engine and everything in the way ,
also went and collected another loom
and noticed on this one it has a extra earth point, so im hoping i must of cut it of on the old loom
going to strip all the tape of the other loom tomorow and try it to see if i can get it all to work, then will chop the bits out of that i dont want, hopefully it should go like that

Its the exhaust from the wastegate that bipass the exhaust gasses around the exhaust turbine to slow the compressor impeller to stop it over boosting.

got the car to my mates garage today and spent 7 hours on the wiring, turned the plug round that the light switch sits in and sorted the lights out, so all the electrics were working, then started chopping the loom but made sure that everything still worked ,got all the loom tidyed up and have the clocks now fully fitted and the boost controller fitted, jobs left to do on the wiring tomorow are ,wire in the wideband, wire in the boost/oil gauge,fuel pump loom, horn/fan loom
now pics
lights working
wiring in, will wrap it when all the wiring is done,

I was just thinking why not make a custom loom, Would save you a fair amount of weight plus make it look nicer and easier to replace stuff.
