Wheel fitment advice please
Gotten the chance of a set of rays, 17" 7.5j et30 front and 8.5j et40 rear, just wondering if anyone's managed to fit them with coilovers on? I've got meister-r coils on and had to get rid of my original wheels because they hit the coil...
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: weld an external wastegate to a standard cast manifold? Success!
Progress.... I preheated it and tigged the cast to mild steel pipe using stainless filler wire (high nickel content wire) post heated and dumped into a box with sand, was still hot 2 hours later and no pinking noises coming from the cast which is always a good sign...

Re: weld an external wastegate to a standard cast manifold? Success!
The pipe that attaches to the EWG has a stainless steel flange (vband) I was thinking I could weld in some mild steel to the cast and then the s/s flange to the m/s pipe... Advice from someone that's done it is what I'm after

Re: show me your external wastegate screamer pipe routes :)
my internal gate is too small as my ct26 turbo is a hybrid and producing too much boost for the internal gate to cope with, so i need to add an external one so i can control my boost!
