Yep recieved today cheers!

Fitted the 3 top hoses, the turbo to rigid pipe is a bit of a pain! Had to push it on over the stopper bit on the rigid pipe for it to fit without kinking  :wink:

Will do the intercooler and throttle body pipe on saturday  :wink:

Sam


Ha-ha - It's a right biatch, ain't it??!! :laugh:  I just chopped 10mm off the longest side of the pipe! :D

ivor thats cheating!
 i tried againt today to fit the b!tch but had no luck (lots of c & b's flying round)! going have 1 more go tomoz!

Yes, the air was quite blue in my work car park yesterday, LOL! :D

God only knows why Forge didn't flare the one end out more! :angry:

ps. I used a bit of brake pad paste to pursuade it on, LOL. :D

pps. Don't cut it until you've measured it against your own standard hose, folks. ;)

Fitted the other 2 pipes today. Still leaves one original pipe though as i suspected. Theres a hose which connects the rigid pipe to the pancake pipe which isn't replaced?  :rolleyes: Why they didn't make a 6 piece kit I don't know?

Anyway, seem to get more of a grunt noise from the new inlet mainifold pipe which sounds pretty good  :cool:

Did all mine today. Took longer than i thought bit tricky.

Put it all back together bumper on ect. Drove down the road opened it up a bit in second and loud hisss and no power  :angry: :grin:

Took off the bumper again to find the bottom hose had come off - i prob didn't tighten it enough TBH  :laugh:

All done now and i can notice the difference as you say sam bit louder when to boot it  :evil:

Rich if you rev it with the throttle body whilst under the bonnet, does it sounds like the extra noise is coming from down near the headlight? Almost a bit raspy!  :cool:

Could do with a boost guage really as I wasn't sure if it may be a leak but i'm pretty confident the clamps are all pukka!

The inlet manifold pipe was a bit of a pain to get right without it kinking too, had to spin it around a bit here and there so it didn't kink up!

I did 2 & 5 this afternoon, if you release the intercooler you get enough play to get them on relativly easily

i found getting if over the throttle body the hardest part. everytime i pushes a bit on another part wasnt over the lip, it was BOLLOX!!! it still aint even on properly i opened the bonnet today and the jubilee clip had slipped off and it has moved down a lottle bit. but i sprayed some WD-40 on the jubilee clip and made it really reall tight after pushing the hose on as far as possible lol
