gonna take mine off to have it polished, just one thing , when i re fit it all i need to buy is a new gasket kit, is that right or are there other things to get?

there are several gaskets to get and while it's off do a water bypass as well if you can wait a few weeks i'm going to have a plenum and throttle bodies up for sale

You need the plenum gasket, throttle body gaskets, idle valve gasket and egr pipe gaskets, it's probably worth getting new o-rings for the balance bar too, it's deffo worth doing the water hose bypass at the same time.

Cooler intake plenum = cooler inlet air temperature = more bhp ;)
