After pulling the plenum to do some deletes.....

there are 2 issues I need advice on please:-

1) I have found the 90 degree metal pipe going into the rocker cover has come out of the passenger side, the one that goes to the PCV valve.... Does this normally come out of the rocker cover??

Also the front pipe that goes to the other end of the PCV on the passenger side is also loose... the high one that sits under the throttle linkage....???

 

2) After removing the turbo I realised there is no heat shielding on the passenger turbo or manifold.... Is it okay to leave it like this or should I take the one off the spare manifold I have and fit it on???

 

Thanks....

Russ

all 4 rocker cover pipes came off on mine ... i just used gasket sealant and stuck them back

cheers mark.... I was getting worried I would have to remove the pipes again.....lol

The loose pipes at the front can come out and jam the throttle open so make sure they are secure before driving it again
