:undecided: looking at that picture, the things on the front of the inlet manifold what are they, guessing extra injectors?

They are the pipes for a nitrous system. Gas and fuel.  :wink:

To simplify the pipe work I'd think about a modded short inlet. There's a guy, powernut with the R32T 4x4 caddy that seems to make and weld them for fun. Might be worth a chat.

How's the turbos coming along?

When you converted to VR6, how did you sort the clutch issue out? New pedal box or a conversion thing?

Where all my moneys went.

Convrted to Hydro as per normal VR6 and 16v cars have, we used the VR6 clutch and gearbox.. basically full set up from donor car

late mk3s all have same pedal box wit provisions to take hydro set up, early cars like mine don't so need a late pedal box fitting as mine did for my conversion

OK thanks mate. Mines on an N but has most late features. I'll have probs have a look. Is it obvious if it has both?

AWESOME news.

Really wasn't looking forward to swapping it out. So do I need to cut the bulkhead? Cheers for the info mate, didn't wanna ask in the MK3 section, wanted an answer I could trust.  :wink:
