I´m just in the process of doing a carbon canister bypass , so front fender is off and I thought I´d take the opportunity to replace the fog lights with the carbon fibre air ducts I´ve had lying around for a few years:dance:. Two questions though:

 

1: For those that have done the air duct thing , which bonding agent do you recommend ?

 

2: Did you lead a tube/pipe from the ducts to the intercoolers, or just installed them as is ?

 

Cheers :)

I put my smic duct's in with silicone adhesive. Some mesh on the back and thats it!!

The lower opening feeds the lower part of the ic, and the venturi duct feeds the upper part of the ic.

....cool....

 

 

Al.

I used sikoflex to bond them in. And i did'nt use any piping etc to direct the air - i just let all that lovely fresh air gush in and cool stuff :D :nana2:

i used good old sikoflex to hold them in with, and some 3" hose running over the intercoolers around the suspension then onto a plate bolted to the back of the hubs...

 

is there a guide somewhere to remove the tubs from the engine or is it a case of suck it and see,. oh! forgot the engine is out of the car.

sorry half a sleep just finished reading that post and didnt hit a key, oops.

where can i buy some of these vents from?

I got mine from "smithy". Great quality and fast delivery. E-bay sell them too, but don't know what they are like, might be good, then again, might be bad.
