Bit of an update...not so exciding but I think you guys will take anything.. :lol:
All the oil stuff is done, oil cooler is installed for good, as is the scavenge pump. Turbo oil fed line is also complete, so the front bumper is close to going back on. I have to do a bit of intercooler pipe work first thing in the morning, so that I have a set of charge pipe (engine bay) to keep with me.
On to the pictures:

Final install shot of the pump with all hoses in place, tied up
As you can see nothing is left to chance, all of this is top quality, built for performance and durablity.
