Thanks for that Spaarky, sounds like good advice.

We're in the process of fabricating a tubular exhaust manifold, along the lines of the works one.
The Emerald ECU we have on the car runs with an exhaust gas temperature sensor.
I think we'll use it for a while, then wrap the downpipe and see if there is any appreciable increase in EGT as well as performance. Then think about the turbo and perhaps part of the manifold.
Every little bit helps
