Very nice pictures.

The comp covers Insert.. Are you able to take a few more pictures of it or even possibly remove it via the grub screws on the side of the comp cover snout and then take some pics of the inlet??? ;)

Awesome pics.

Take note how HKS design their dump pipe you split dump pipe users. :(

For those using the Garrett IW housing note why HKS utilize the complete area instead of being a slack arse and simply dropping a 2" pipe in there that partially blocks when the flap opens which results in boost creep on the Garrett IW turbo's.

Turbine housing - The HKS is a better design, bigger flap smoother gas exit.

Comp cover - The HKS is better designed due to the comp cover insert which apparently reduces inlet turbulence.

The comp cover looks essentially identical apart from the slight difference in casting which depicts its a HKS turbo. ;)

It would be interesting to see the casting finish both inside the comp cover and turbine housing.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
