I'm going to run the RPF01 on the front, and the drag wheels on the back. Changing from slicks to some decent ones. The rear axle was modified for the drag wheels, so need to keep them really dude.
I know they are different sized wheels, but I shall address that issue with tyre choice. I have found the sizes for the tyres so that its the same overall rolling radius for both.
Big fat ones on the rear

Ive been thinking about this.. I'm going to ask the guy who made my manifold as he runs the same setup as me, on his S in the states. Dont think he has ever had any problems but better to be safe than sorry I guess.

Just out of interest, how will you get the car through an MoT with the exhaust in the bonnet, its something I have always wanted to know!
Just curious, how hot will the bonnet get? Maybe you should get a "Danger of death" sign on it

Luckily I have a friendly MOT tester.
The pipes coming out of the bonnet have nothing to do with the MOT anyway as the external wastegates are closed during emissions test.
They only open when on boost and you will never ever be on boost when it comes to emissions testing.
Not sure on the heat of the bonnet, but will soon find out when its all up and running lol
