Barry, that's some very impressive work. Custom fuel rail, custom plenum, throttle and so on. I like the intercooler plumbing, it doesn't take up too much underhood space, and it looks nice.

It may be to simplify the throttle linkage. Remember this is a right hand drive car. In any case, I don't think it will hurt anything, not in real terms anyway...

Very nice indeed!

Fantastic to see these engines in this condition - I love the Alfa V6!

Just an little tip;
-would be a lot easier to start with the coil cable attached,
-and kind of an performance boost when you remove the safetycap from the turboinlet :lol: :lol:

Just fantastic! Great job on these engines :shock:

What sort of timeframe for a build like this Barry? Assuming a straight build up?

Are you able to get a 3" exhaust out of the engine bay?
Would love to see it at full tap on the road :D
