Not sure fella, But it works well so far, I'm going to see how far I can go with it! It's tight in the space and you will need 2D silicone 90's at the ends due to space

Bit of a late update:
Well Wed 18th I was back down the rolling road 
Am alot happier with the results although its only 2hp by looking at the graphs but its the way if drives now and holds boost! It now makes power all the way to the 6,500 where before it would drop off at 5,750 and this was before the bolt snapped! Boost now peaks at 17psi and holds 15psi! I also fitted a MBC but was unable to turn the boost up more as we found the exhaust was too small causing to much back pressure! So I am looking into buying either a longlife or bluefame 3" system as the backbox is still a jetex "of the self" item which isn't design for a turbo and has a small outlet! The other problem We came across is the "chips" aren't the best, i have to have my AFR at 11:1 at idle to make it stay in the 12/13's high in the rpm, otherwise it goes too lean! I am unsure of the chips as they came with my engine when i bought it a few years ago!
Since then I have bought Genuine Phase 3 EDS and saab red injectors and have looked into the exhaust more!
Final Figures for now:
BHP @ Wheels 219.6bhp @ 6,004rpm
BHP @ Flywheel 260.6bhp @ 6,235rpm
Torque 243.1lbft @ 5,041rpm
The Graphs...
The reason for the rush was it was this was happening Saturday morning...
And a picture I took:
Then Saturday evening I was off to a tunnel Run Again and heres a few of my car:
Cheers

Yer the only problem is that I have been invited to go on Total Vauxhall stand @ Trax (which I can't pass up  ) Its in next months Issue Which is really quick turn around considering I only had photos down 2 weeks ago!

nice pics from trax, have you never thought of a punto wiper instead of the standard corsa one? i think it would look quite tidy with one on.
