Turbo Thomas
A slight detour after seeing Mike's RSR and via Bristol I ended up at TuboThomas' place in Redditch to collect some parts....
Superb workmanship, well pleased!
And the man hard at work.... he apologised for the grimacing

After a 600 mile round trip over the weekend I'm looking forward to getting my hearing back
2-in, 3-out all cappable, single 'standard' oulet is removeable.
We agreed the spec, the details and the price via email whilst I was in the Philippines. Rich made all so easy for me. I have no hesitation in recommending TT.
I now need to find time to fit it all - don't hold your breath!

Re: Turbo Thomas
Looks great Mick - did he make the heat exchangers as well ?
You should have mentioned you were going to be in Redditch - I'm only about 20mins away - you could have called in for a tea/coffee.

Turbo Thomas = Highly recommended individual, one of the good guys
Here's the custom exhaust he made for me some 10+ years ago for my supercharged motor. Still looks as fresh as the day he built it.

Re: Turbo Thomas
Be very interested in the sound when you have it fitted Mick.
I'm just interested in the back box, any figures how much the rear box was as I do like the look of it.
Hopefully you'll have it fitted over the next few months and see you at one of the events.
Cheers
