Well the car is back in the workshop of PerFOURmance Motorsport and stripped down. The exhaust is much worse than first thought and I was able to break the pipe it into two parts while it was still in the car by folding it back and forth (see attached pictures). The damage had started as a crack just under the weld and finally had just about broken all the way around. We have repaired it now stronger than ever so we won’t see that problem again.
We still have to strip the engine bay out around the turbo so we can get to all the wiring. It looks like a new engine harness and we will have to cut 100mm or so from the chassis harness and re-fit a new connector.
No real issues to resolve from here just a bit of time and we will be back in action.
