Yeah dude, looking trick as fook. Will have to see how that turbo of yours goes. ANd at what speed it picks up. Would be nice to also see what difference(if any) that shorter inlet tract has made. Get on with it then. You need to MOT it this week and drive over 1000 miles before next weekend

What did you have to do to the water manifold mark?
are you still using the RS2 i/c, have you had to use a different x-member because of the different intake method?

Martin, I had to cut the outlet on the water manifold and weld it at an angle facing downwards to clear the AAN IM and use a piece of SFS 90 degree tubing to join it to the OEM rad hose which also needed trimming.
I am still using the RS2 IC on the original x-member for the moment (cant afford IC like yours yet ). The x-member needed a fair bit of butchering and welding to make it work though.

Cheers,

Mark.

Did you take any pics of the modified x member mate?? Would be interesting to see it.

LOL yeah but its not pretty though had to basically cut it and brace it front and back.........hopefully wont need it for long though, until I can get an IC like yours.

Got to be worthy of a Team Bodge sticker, that one??

[audiman]

LMAO, that looks good!! Does the bumper still fit over that thing. Christ, I was worried about mine not being strong enough, and thats made from 25mm SS box section.
