Ive noticed that alot of the wires running in the engine bay are corroded and covered in junk and the electrical tape is starting to come off as well, not only that but the fuse box was also looking like shit, on top of that water doesnt pump out of my window washer bottle :D (is there a fuse for this? or will the pumps need replacing?)

anyway back to the point, id like to remove the fuse box out of the engine bay not only that but ive seen some cars going around with what they call "hidden wiring" (this would be good to do also) Has anyone moved their fuse box? rewired the entire car? How much has it cost you?

ultimately id like to do this to create more space in the engine bay for a neater look, (like a window washer and radiator overflow bottle in one will save some space as well) + it may fix some little bugs here and there also (like why my antenna doesnt go up and down....is there a fuse for this or not?)

thanks for any advice in advanced, but the input of someone whos done this will be quite valuable cheers

to remove the fuse box you have to unbolt it, take then turn it upsidedown thentheres clips which all hold the fuses and plugs into the fuse box, you got to unclip all of them then you'll be left with no box and a whole heap of fuse plugs with fues, not sure where you would put them if you wanted to move the box all the wires would have to be extended and that wouldnt be an easy/quick thing to do

yeah i know, but i wanted it professionally done + part of the problem is alot of the wires are covered in crud, corrosion etc etc, hence the idea of getting everything rewired and hidden so to say...

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
