all fitted now! it sounds amazing
I didn't have any trouble with boost creep/spike etc on the way home. floored it in all gers and the boost held perfectly
It's worth pointing out that running an Autobahn FMIC will leave you with massive clearence problems due to the lamda sensor
my car is off the road again now, becasue of the clearence problems.
the intercooler turbo pipe is pushing very hard against the lamda sensor. We managed to bend the pipe a little in order to fit it back on the car, but as a result of this the radiator fan, gearbox, battery earth and radiator brackets are all cutting into the intercooler pipes at 4 different points!
the only problem with the exhaust is that it hits the chassis when going over bumpy bits of road (at the back, where the pipework crosses over the rear axle) so i need to find way to stop it
