Is it the correct rad? I remember a while back they were supplying non g40 rads as g40 ones as I ended up paying about £100 from vw to get the correct one.

That green 6n G40 was at the RR either last year or year before but didnt seem to get good power iirc 130 ish .... I dont know if it wasnt set up right or something. Looks like your doing a good job thought !

We're did you get that header tank from? Look spot on!
