Holy crap! 26 covers on a 25?

looks cool mate!

Exact color Im going to paint my covers too!!!!!

And you went with the plazmaman plenum!!! how did you find it? any change in power/responsiveness over stock one?

Engine looks immac an exactly what i want to do to mine. except i wont be doin the 26 covers even tho they look awsome.

Thanks man.

I did the plenum at the same time as the turbo so unfortunately can't give an exact comparison of how much power/response the plenum gave. I honestly didn't care to much about that though, i mainly wanted it to tidy up the engine bay since the stock one is a pain in the ass when trying to work on the car.

heres my engine bay, not quiet finished but almost there

Bay looks good mate, interesting to see the braided brake lines from the master to the abs unit.. did you notice any change in the pedal feel? reason I ask is im contemplating doing this myself but worried about flex in the lines.

Also, What kind of hose was used?

Cheers and sorry for the Q's..

Johno

atm i cant give you an answer now bout the pedal feel as i havnt driven my car with the lines (getting tuned today)

but i got them made and told the guys what they were for, they used -3 teflon braided hose, i'll warn you it wasnt cheap

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
