Have you considered an electric water pump to give you more flexibility with packaging?

Finally a productive few days...
Picked up my custom one off engine mount on sat from Alitech Precision. Massive thanks to Darren for helping me out (improving the design) and fitting me in to his busy schedule to get it machined.
Fitted a treat and everything finally clears (y)
So that meant I could start fabrication. Decided to completely remake the exhaust manifold as I needed to move the turbo over and closer to the head to achieve an better weight distribution, although a turbo hanger will still be needed. I managed to get the tracks nearly equal, cyl 5 is a little longer but hey ho. Anyway pictures say a thousand words -
Then I made the 3.5" exhaust. Being advised I might need to swap the silencers for repackable items but we'll see. Chuffed with the results and fit.
Need to weld it all up now.Current - 2.5T S1 Exige project. Think 600bhp & 750kgs!

I am not an expert, but I think there is a problem with wastegate.
Exhaust gas press wastegate to open.
But maybe I am wrong. Just thinking loudAKmotorsport.net - Manufacturing Motorsport parts that do the job. | Audi S2 on Facebook | Best way of reaching me is sending email to albert@akmotorsport.net

Looks great, lots of work gone on there on the exhaust.
Just a question, did you play around with the engine placement to maintain good corner weights?
With the chassis being so light I guess the engine & box together will be 30%+ of the overall kerb weight?Panthero Coupé quattro 20vt
