cheers buddy

flip that right cooler pipe over infront of the ic and point it upwards then go right along the recess then back down.

how my SIP fits around the pipe work

That's a tight fit Leon.

my girlfiend says that too with a high pitched voice...strange

niceeeeeeeeeeeeee
Anyway,maybe later on,the mods can clean this thread up a bit and it can be made into a sticky for peeps fitting one of these kits.
I wish I had this info before I started anyway.
Paul

now im really stuck, ive just fitted my SIP but cant find a way of routing the pipe from the throttle body back to the intercooler

Please can some one help. heres lots of pics ive just taken so you have a better idea on what position im in

heres what i've done

if anymore pictures are needed the bumpers still off while i eat my frosties so let me know asap

perfect :), thanks alot mate , could you get a pic from the engine bay looking downwards at where the pipe is routed from the throttle body hard pipe to the intercooler

anymore needed?

Thats spot on mate. thanks for that, ill get all the piping and joiners back out and see what i can do! il post up pics once its done hopefully this thread can really help someone else when they come to fitting the kit.

Wernt the air con pipes on the right hand side ofthe rad in the way?????

you can slide the pipe past them

The only thing we moved was the earth strap which you can see in my pictures is now located beside my alarm siren

That looks weird


Have a look at my PA IC. The right pipe goes from turbo to intercooler and the left one goes from IC to throttle.


Can't you mount the pipe behind the IC as seen in picture ?

You can't get the left pipe above the rad supports.
I had to run my pipe underneath......no other way to do it.
Paul

As above, is because the exit o. The left hand side of the pro alloy is higher up and curved where as the turbo revs is straight and pretty much at the bottom. Just about to load up some pics of my new set up!

freddan... can you put some pics up of the left hand exit from the FMIC please?

very happy with my new set up, soo much more ground clearance, and i now have a SIP

only thing im frustrated about is the fitment of the front bumper, almost as though it needs stretching.

Excellent pics mate and very,very helpful.
Will a standard bumper fit over that pipe infront of the IC mate ?

Rob,the turbo made 290 after
I am now trying to get a stage 3.

i have a standard bumper and it fits fine over the pipe

290 is still good! what was the torque? what exhaust system have you got? what power do you want?

290 is fine mate and will have to wait to get the sheets off Leighton to see the torque
I wanted to hit the magic 300 but will get that when I finally find a stage 3.
I have a blue flame race cat system mate.
I will have to move that pipe though the same as you and Leon have done.

i know the feeling mate, I made 297bhp, was gutted well not really but i wanted the magic 300 too, thats why im going all out this time and getting the car setup with a very healthy engine and decent breathing mods including a stage 3 hybrid.

the last thing I need is either a new 2.75" down pipe or to go all out and get a turbo-back blue flame system.

Go for the blueflame mate although they are pretty expensive.
I went with the race cat and could have got a cheaper decat system.

I was always interested why not use the intercooler with the inlet and outlet on one side! In my car is fitted this intercooler and is very good and one pipe is quite short.

That looke very small.
What are the temps like ?
