It's not uncommon to see "custom" turbocharger systems on the market featuring generic off the shelf silicon hoses. To engineer truly custom silicon hoses, as is the case with an APR Stage III Turbocharger System, months of planning and engineer time must take place.
APR's Engineers use a Fero Arm to plot points of contact within the engine bay and mounting surfaces, such as the turbocharger, to help aid in design and fitment through CAD Software. This gives the engineers a work space for designing parts without worry of contacting components in the engine bay.

Once the engine bay and attached items are mapped, the engineers are able to begin designing parts on the computer. We currently use the latest version of Pro Engineer, which is now called creo. It's an extremely powerful software suite that gives our Engineers the flexibility they need to design and test many components in a simulated environment, long before they ever make a physical part.
Here's a fully designed Stage 3 Turbocharger System, long before any physical parts are produced. The images can be rotated, split apart, moved around, altered, etc.

Once the Engineers complete a design, it's sent to our Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printer to print out a physical part we can test in the engine bay. It's necessary to print out the design and test because some items in the engine bay are not static. Under load the engine will rock back and forth, so clearance must be confirmed before proceeding. Printing 3D parts also allows us to test parts on other makes and models around the world. Our UK facility and our partners in Australia test Right Hand Drive vehicles we do not see in the US.

The printer uses a laser to harden a liquid material into a useable part. In the example below, we are using the SLA to create a compressor housing for use on a TTRS Stage III Turbocharger System. The process is identical when creating silicon hoses for the Golf R Stage III Turbocharger System:
The Laser burns in the design, one tiny layer at a time:

When finished, the part is removed and sent over to an ultra violet chamber which hardens the piece:

The finished piece looks like this and can be fitted and tested in the car:

The same process takes place for nearly every component we design on the Stage III Turbocharger System. The parts are then installed and fitment is verified. Once engineering gives the green light, a cast mandrel is created and then machined in house to act as the mould for making the production parts. This is an extremely expensive process, which is why many kits use off the shelf, generic hosing, however quality and features cannot be matched using other methods. It's Performance Without Compromise.
APR manufactures all hoses in North America to ensure high levels of quality and workmanship. The hoses are then fit with custom hose barbs and spigots for all of the necessary OEM equipment to connect and many of these parts are designed and created in house on our Mazak CNC lathe. The lathe feeds bar stock from one end to automate the production process and runs round the clock with two shifts of operators operating almost 24/7.

Each hose is a wire reinforced, high quality, multi-pli silicon design. The hoses are very stiff so under boost and vacuum the hoses will not swell or collapse and restrict airflow like traditional hoses. If you're at Waterfest or H2O this year, stop by our booth and squeeze one of the hoses on display!

All of the correct OEM spigots and outlets for boost / vacuum reference lines are included in the OEM locations. OEM PCV and EVAP connections are properly in place with OEM style one-time-use crimp clamps holding securing each piece.
One often overlooked feature of the APR Stage III Silicon Hose Design is the use of stepped mounting surfaces for smooth transition from one piece to the other. Traditional hoses simply sit on top of the other mounting surfaces, which can disrupt airflow. The APR hose design is stepped so they mount flush, offering a truly custom and ideal design.

Up next we'll discuss a few more cast parts in the induction system!
Sanath Jayasuriya and Upul Tharanga led Sri Lanka to a quite brilliant eight-wicket win in the final one-dayer against England at Headingley to secure the most comprehensive of whitewashes, taking the series 5-0 - with more than 12 overs to spare.
Though they won the series over a week ago, the method and destruction with which Sri Lanka's batsmen chased down 322 was a spectacle of remarkable audacity, self-belief and skill. Jayasuriya, of course, has been doing this for years but even he, the wise old man of Sri Lanka's side, looked over the moon at his 72-ball hundred and celebrated with the same wide-eyed enthusiasm as a young whippersnapper.
It all happened so fast, too. Despite the pitch at Headingley being a treat to bat on - flat, lifeless, straw-coloured on a lovely warm day - it was the unabashed ferocity of Jayasuriya and Tharanga which took the game away so quickly from England. The carnage began as early as the second ball of Sri Lanka's reply, as Kabir Ali darted one down the legside for four leg-byes, followed by another legside gift which Jayasuriya whipped away for four more. 10 runs conceded from the first over. Opening with Ali at the other end was Tim Bresnan and, if the paying public were surprised at the delayed introduction of Steve Harmison, Sri Lanka were gleeful: they smashed through cover; cut past point; cut over the slips and mowed through point. Four brilliant fours and a second over costing 18 runs.
Such frenzied starts to one-day innings are common; to continue the same wild strokeplay, over 20 or 30 overs, is a rare treat. Indeed, the shots played by both batsmen were not that outlandish, carefree, or fortunate. It was pure skill, demonstrated so aptly when Harmison was flicked effortlessly by Jayasuriya into the stands; a short-arm jab off his hips, and the ball disappeared into the fragmented, shocked crowd.
Having won all four matches so far this series, the temptation, or tendency, for Sri Lanka to take their foot off England's throat must have been great. And indeed there were signs in the field, earlier in the day, that the visitors' enthusiasm and energy levels were perhaps on the wane. No such evidence was seen from the batsmen as Sri Lanka raced to fifty in just the fourth over. As a comparison, after four overs England had made just two.
Though the world has been witness to Jayasuriya's brilliance for a decade or more, Tharanga is a newcomer - yet throughout this series, he has dominated England's attack without fear. He took particular fancy to Liam Plunkett, crashing him for two fours and flicking a wide ball for a stunning six. It took Jayasuriya just 72 deliveries to register his second one-day hundred of the series; his 21st in all, the best of the summer and quite possibly the finest one-day hundred at Headingley.
As the 200 partnership was brought up, the England captain Andrew Strauss had little option but to shake his head and smile at the violence on display. Trailing Jayasuriya slightly, Tharanga joined his senior partner to bring up his second (and best) hundred of the series. He looked out of sorts earlier in the tour, and what a turnaround it has been not only for him but for Sri Lanka.
Talking of turnarounds, earlier it appeared England might have reached a fork in the road when they won the toss and chose to bat. They rollicked along - or so it appeared, before Sri Lanka's batsmen had a go. It was perhaps inevitable that Marcus Trescothick would be the man to score England's first hundred this series and his excellent 121 set England up to a very respectable 321 - comfortably their best total this summer. Despite some slick bowling from Chaminda Vaas and Lasith Malinga in the first 10 overs of England's innings, their fielders let themselves down - for the first time this series. Once Trescothick had negotiated the early movement on offer, his trademark drives and punchy lofts over the infield were soon finding their way over the boundaries. Scorching drives and cuts past point which were snaffled by the Sri Lankan fielders in the previous four one-dayers were today finding their way past; it wasn't the most polished of performances.
Malinga then mopped up England's tail in a superb spell of death-bowling - firing in yorkers and rarely straying down the legside - which earned him the impressive figures of 4 for 44 from his ten overs.
Yet the game was as good as won for Sri Lanka come the 10th over, with Jayasuriya skipping down the wicket to the seamers; toying with every bowler; smashing bowlers over their heads and, well, wherever he chose. It was Jayasuriya at his best, no doubt, but was one-day batting at its most awe-inspiring. That he overshadowed Tharanga, who played sublimely for his 109, said rather a lot about the character of a man who refuses to be beaten, a trait also becoming of Sri Lanka.
That both openers fell in the dying moments was of little consequence. It's a decade since they last won the World Cup and, with six months until the Caribbean hosts the next tournament, they are rather handily placed.
This arm is astonishing. If you go to Florence, don't be tempted to just see the replica of David in the Piazza della Signoria. See Michelangelo's original in the Accademia. There is no comparison!
I've had the new MGB's shoulders modded to soften the pointy "spikes" on the torso. It helped to mitigate the risk of excess scratching on the arm ball and helped the shoulder level out (since one can now push it down better).
This is the nicest arm I've found at this price point. I cloned the assembly of the expensive Zacuto arm shown in this video,
Here's the Kamerar,
www.amazon.com/New-KAMERAR-Stainless-Tough-Friction/dp/B0...
The arm has threaded ends, but Amazon sells well-made inexpensive Chinese parts which are nice knock-offs of the Zacuto pieces, sold by SmallRig.
I used these with Loctite to turn the threaded ends into standard 15mm rods.

Though I'm using Zacuto clamp blocks which I found on clearance, I have these SmallRig clamps too and they're nearly as good, though they lack the 1/4-20 captive mounting screw of the Zacutos and have 1/4-20 threaded holes instead.

The construction of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri began in the second quarter of the nineteenth century, being founded the congregation of parents oratorios.
They built the temple in modest proportions, and a house as a residence attached to the community between 1835 and 1839.
Was performed in a Latin cross plan and altars show neoclassical elements. They then added two chapels on either side of the nave.
The west arm chapel is dedicated to the Virgin of Perpetual Help, with direct access to the street. The shrine features a neoclassical, a beautiful picture framed with that Byzantine Marian devotion, prepaid, supported by two Atlantes.
The sacristy houses many paintings of John N. Herrera, who are now sheltered in the Gianicolo of St. Philip Neri, a recent and complementary institution of the temple.
The Oratory of St. Philip Neri in his choir has a tubular upper, showing excellent working order.

Fue realizado en planta de cruz latina y sus altares muestran elementos neoclásicos. Luego agregaron dos capillas, ubicadas a ambos lados de la nave central.
La capilla del brazo poniente está dedicada a la virgen del Perpetuo Socorro, con un acceso directo a la calle. La caracteriza un altar neoclásico, enmarcado a un hermoso cuadro bizantino con la mencionada advocación mariana, franqueado y soportado por dos atlantes.
La sacristía conserva varias pinturas de Juan N. Herrera, que ahora son resguardadas en el Gianicolo de San Felipe Neri, una institución reciente y complementaria del templo.
El oratorio de San Felipe Neri cuenta en su coro superior con un órgano tubular, que muestra excelentes condiciones de funcionamiento.
A friend handed me a six-pound crystal cluster and said, “I want this two and a half feet off the ground in my garden. Make it awesome. Money is no object.” This is the resulting sculpture, without a doubt the most grueling and most satisfying piece I have ever made.
The arm is life-size and modeled after my own. Every major bone and artery is represented in steel or copper wire of various gauges. The crystal is affixed to the hand with light-gauge silver wire.
I don't know what the hell this turned out to be. A sort of a double arm's-length self portrait taken by someone else. It looks like the camera should be in Live View, but it's actually the opposite of that.
I don't know.
