Some nice work, Brett!
I hope you are getting a buzz out of restoring your JA :) And I hope everything will work as it should when you get it fired up!
Interesting to see a cat on your exhaust when the JA doesn't come with one...
Great to see such dedication. Looks the goods! :beer

Brett i have the same set up on my starion its a good mix, its a large power increase against the stock turbo. But be very careful with the fuel cut defender as you are likely to do your engine harm running high boost and leaning it out
