wicked ill add one to the recipe for POWER! i managed to pick up a 3" maf for £16 delivered just injectors pump and actuator.

nick with the injectors is it posible to use 350cc or will they be to big and i should stick with the 315cc ones?

The need to be the same ratio as your maf size, around 310cc for the VR6 maf.

 I have managed to get the 310cc Calibra yellows to fuel 100% with the stock maf, but running the stock maf limits the peak air flow reading,  it could be fudged to read higher than 187gs but would screw all the load axis up in the mapping.  So IMO the best was is 310cc with 2.75" ID maf (VR6)

I had to remove the banjo.  No way was the nut coming out even with the turbo out the car.  Dont think downpipe needs to come off though, you can just get into the lower nuts with it on.  Well ive done it a few times.  Leave the 3rd one behind the banjo out.....far easier IMHO and no future messing on.

Attacked it with a grinder LOL

Grind edge down to reduce thickness.  Then swear lots as you try to stretch the TIP over it.  Just about possible!
