Looks awsome now mate  :cool:

TIP is a weird one, Iv heard a few people say they struggled with theres.
Iv always tried pushing it down from the bay onto the turbo then gone under the car with it jacked up to push it on as tight as possible then jubilee clipped it on tight. No more than 30mins to start and finish.

I did laugh once I took my TIP to a local motor shop and said I want a good jubilee clip for every hole, the guy looked at me weird as if it was some weird sex toy  :grin: (this is a good idea as you can replace the crap one-time clips VW supplied which prob takes the most time to do lol)

you see where your brake pressure pipe is at the font? sort of links above where you placed your can? i had to remove the second pipe up and block it off, planning to run another silicone pipe from TB inlet? to the back of the engine. the pipe im talking about has a stop check valve in it.

help me out some one   :laugh:
