i had a harness adaptor on my stereo plug to power all the garbage (phones navigation reverse camea hands free kit blah blah blah) when i got my car so connected mine to that . but yeah considering how easy the stereo is to get out and there plenty of room and wire to easily connect to behind there .

Under the D/s guard there is a large loom going thru. I poked a hole with a screwdriver. Seal it up after as you can get water thru on a rainy day.

When the Stag is stationary you will only get vacuum, ie neg pressure. Drive it hard and u should get boost.

Yeah remove the splash guard from the drivers side wheel arch and their will be a pretty large gromet to poke a hole and route ur presure line through. Its where my pressure feed for my EBC goes. If you dont make the hole to large you wont even need to put anything on it to stop water getting in :P

Good luck.

oh true . learn something new everyday . the sender unit for my defi gauge had a good metre and a half of cable so i ran it through the large/main grommet behind/undes the abs pump . got the controller in the glove box. works pretty sweet

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
