soaked the rotors in clutch and brake cleaner, gets all the carbon off. Cleaned the housings by brushing the cleaner on and wiping it off as it evaporates quickly and the stationary gears are soaking as we speak.

are you going to open the ports up while you've got it apart?

that a boy :)

that port is very turbo bridge like :) will we see a turbo on it in future ??

Is that your own port design or have you used a template and are all plates ported with the bridge or just the end plates?
