Att: Smithy
looking good stu. Only suggestions that i can think of to improve it further are the chrome PAS tank which has allready been mentioned, and getting the balance bar chromed, IMO it would bring a bit more life to the dingy back end. edit - my (really bad) photoshop of it ;)

Throttle body
no i dont think it does. And your sig is incredibly huge, you should tone it down a bit, a third of the size maybe.

60hz will deffinatly cause eye strain and quite possibly cause permanent damage to your eyes in the long term. TFT is the way to go.

Blitz boost guage
whats wrong with it? The wires should be wired into the dash lighting circuit so it lights up with the dash, and a pipe should go into the back which it connected to the inlet manifold somewhere, i think usually with a T piece on the existing boost gauge plumbing.

Wastegate chatter?
yes its a rover, one of the ones which came with the VTEC motor in, then he turbo'd it to make it more mental, top job imo :D

Wastegate chatter?
that noise is turbo stall, nothing to do with wastegates, remove the recirc valves and you'll hear it, turbos wont last 5 minutes though.

arc induction PITA!!!!!!!
check the TPS voltage and the idle air regulator on the back of the plennear the battery. Searching should come up with info on these. I'd put money on iy being nothing to do with the filter.

Air:Fuel ratio i meant, too ruch means unburnt fuel burns in the exhaust causing the cat to overheat, and iirc too lean causes excessively high exhaust gas temperature. Get it checked out on a conZult, its probably just an incorrect sensor reading. oh and yeah the phone thing is cool, shame i dont have a cam.

you should be conerned if your cat is overheating, for 1 is will destroy the cat and that will cause a serious bottleneck in the exhaust system, also it means your AFR is wrong, most of the time it indicates a misfire and the unburnt fuel is igniting in the cat.

Heated the touch paper until it reached autoignition!!!!!!!!!
lol :d

Filter advice
