No. I assumed he was getting confused between Nucleustylzlude and my Milano red 4th gens.

It’s been a while since I’ve got through the thread, unless I was mistaken I’m sure the JRSC kit I looked at was twin screw and not a roots style charger, hence me commentsning or the efficiency of the lude kit I may well be wrong. Roots style chargers are ok but can’t match the efficiency of a twin screw. Especially on higher reving engines! I.e 8+K

Repaired the power steering lines in a Ghetto fashion, I made sure the power steering line were protected as the go through the front slam panel so with any luck there'll be no chaffageeee

drilled so more breathing holes

got my other rocker cover and started to referb it, this time trimming the end off to expose the cam gears ( less to remove when doing a cam belt right :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: lesson learnt with the last one not allowing the paint to cure enough before lacquering causing it to look complete and utterly jobby

anyway few pictures to keep you boys happy
