As you know i recently bought my Mu. Wow what a lovely vehicle!
I decided that its needs cleaning up,and fixing of a few small things :
The turbo was boosting way to much. I tested the turbo actuator ,and it needed replacement. I took a universal actuator that I had,and made the waste gate adjustable,that I could set the boost to the correct amount. Its running at 0.7 bar ( 10 PSI) now.
The valves needed adjustment. Some of the clearances were more than 0.65mm !
The exhaust gasket needed replacing,and the down pipe needed to be sealed. < This was a major job for me,as I don`t have small hands...> After 3 days of working,and many hours and swearing,i got it done.Its not a difficult job,I just need smaller hands..hahaha!
I needed to put in an air filter,as I had none. ( I was not happy when I saw this..)
Some small water hoses needed replacement,and various little bolts and pipes.
The EGR valves were removed ,and I feel allot more happy with the less cluttered engine bay!
Enough talk all ready show us some pictures you moron!!

I`am running a K&N for a filter in the interim until I can find the correct Donaldson type.
