Oh and forgot, i'm bloody freezing and wet!!!! so had to give up on today as its snowing like a goodun!?!? Stupid weather ;) Oh and 2-up there PE air filters which are blue :) getgreddy sells them So all i got done today was to finish off my hicas bar and rip all the pipework out from front to back On tomorrows list is take the front hubs off to install new longer hub bolts and spacers so while my dad does that i'm ripping the rear interior out and fitting the edfc.

Jaffa, had to use 55mm as i could not get any bigger past the steering pump etc but saying that the black oem pipework which its still running is only 50mm anyway so i dont suppose it matters too much but would have liked to have kept it at least 60mm all the way!? stupid cars with no room :tongue: i didnt remove the crossmember its still in place but you just need to un bolt it whilst removing the engine but if memory serves its only 4 bolts that holds it to the bodywork and the rest is on the suspension etc Mike

twin air filters
they have only made it like that because its easy to do, where like john said it would have been much better to make a Y shape but this involves alot more work and welding? TBH looks a bit cheap and nasty and would have though a decent single filter like an apexi etc would have flowed as much if not more? Sorry to put a downer on it ;)

Dont worry bud now ive removed all the air con etc theres plenty of air getting to the rad and after all this the bloody turbos :dance: The mounts in the pics are a little misleading as there not bolted right up but yeh they do make a difference and once we mod the arms and get the reducing silicon on they will pass no probs :) Made me laugh on the passenger side there was loads of room at the side of the turbo but the drivers side has had the inner wing pushed in slightly :wack: i think the hardest bit of taking the engine and box out was the wastegates as they hang down pretty low and wouldnt pass the crossmember so we had to remove it mid taking it out :dance: All good fun Mike

Well the problem was there was simply not enough air getting into the turbos, mainly because they were partly covered by the mounts and arms and the meshing is not ideal due to it getting dirty quick and you just cant clean them and where there at there is just no air flow so need some nice clean cold air to them :) so thats why we pulled it to put some nice custom pipework onto them and pipe them to some filters. Plus it means i wont have a heart attack when ever i hear stones flying around under the car lol Also removed the air con, removing all the hicas, putting 2 x AFM's onto Power Enterprise filters ready for my Apexi Power FC ECU, put my EDFC on and install my new fuel rail and injectors (when they come) and a few maintanance jobs while its out :) Mike
