you would be able to see if it has an MLS fitted as the tab will be visible and with usually either say RCM or cosworth on them if the build was done years back

320bhp with fmic etc is low number given it's 325bhp standard

thats my only issue not sure what am I’m really looking for with it being forged and with it not having invoices

Fitted my new exhaust on Friday. I was never really a fan of single exits on the hatch but they slowly grew on me. I have a Fujitsubo cover on order to fill the void on the other side.
I went from a Hayward & Scott system to a Tomei system from Japan. The Tomei sounds insane

That's a good price. Even today, with one on offer at Rhdjapan (£191 off) it would be £1250 after tax and carriage , so normally >£1441.
Did the courier not bill you tax? Lucky!!

I got it through Torque gt, they had a sale on and I also had a discount code. They had it shipped from Japan straight to them, then they shipped it to me so there was no additional import taxes or carriage.
