loving the progress. Is that a typical aftermarket exhaust or did it need to be adapted to fit?

Thx
It is typical aftermarket one, I installed it on the OEM K03 turbo for the time being till I receive the TurboZentrum kit.

I would say that finally I have a good news regarding the TurboZentrum kit.
They contacted me and they will be able to ship the first manifolds very soon in the coming days or to wait more couple of days in order to make sure that the first ones fit perfectly then I can have mine in few days after.
I will wait the other few days in order to be sure that there nothing needed to be fixed.
The point that again the wastegate size come again to my mind, I was decided to go for the 1 bar wastegate and upgrade to the 1.5 bar if needed but now the devil in my head insisted to go for the 1.5 bar one!!
I have to decide very soon before they ship the kit!

TurboZentrum already shipped the first batch, and preferred to be in the second one and I will go for the 1.5bat wastegate instead of the standard 1.0bar...
Stay tuned, it seems very close [emoji6]

I need your advise, I have the "Brembo GT Systems 330x28 1-Piece (Front) 4-Piston" pending to be installed after swapping the forged engine to Rocco...
https://www.uspmotorsports.com/Volkswag ... V-GTI.html
I found another Brembo 6-Piston kit with 355 rotor and I don't know if I should stick to the GT 330 4-piston or go for the other one?
Pics of the other kits;
Please advise...

Swapped the forged engine with the GTX2867R to the Rocco with most of modified items and the rest will be done later with the EFR installation.
Sorry for the dirty looking but it will have a shower this weekend, I will post a clean one later
I have some sort of items pending waiting to be installed with the EFR kit.
