still gotta connect up my blow off valve yet im gunna keep it in the stock position so my plumb back line can still be used

Looks good Mick_o. Now to finish the welding. Are you running a bead around the pipe ends?

Will you have to disconect the pipe to fill the oil though? Not a big deal I guess.

[AngryRB]

what size is your turbo to air filter pipe?

looking good

[Mick_o]

Cheers scotty yeah thats a must do buddy dont want anymore boost leaks or dramas and yeah gotta pop the pipe off to fill up the oil cos my line runs straight over the top of the filler cap lol but i put the joiner in it there so its 2 hose clamps and shes away and it will make spark plugs a piece of piss too which is a bonus too

Mick here is a pic of where the pipe runs on the other side of the radiator hose and runs beside the oil filler cap. The bonnet closing issue should be 5-10mm closer to being solved with this pipe run.

[Mick_o]

cheers Andy that looks good ill see what i can do to mod what ive done to get closer to that

[Mick_o]

I am gunna measure up the old setup and see how long it is and measure my new setup cos i reckon ive made the run at least 300mm MINIMUM shorter than previous pipe route hope it improves throttle response a lil bit

how do you get your oil cap off with that intake?

[DVS JEZ]

only need to take the oil cap off every 5000km's, so micko that should be in a few years, you'll be right

looks shmicko micko.

does your bonnet close?

[Mick_o]

Thanx jezzy boy lol yeah only done 3000k's in nearly 2 years bonnet closes with a bump but gunna change it i think. Take 2 hose clamps and ya at the filler cap no biggie really imo

[JonnoHR31]

if you used a funnel i reckon you could top up the oil without removing the pipe, if your lazy

myne sits in a similar position to wolverines, but hard down on the cap due to being a 30, the silicone joiners have enough flex in them to simply pull it out of the way whilst undoing the cap.

[Mick_o]

Hopefully i can get to a suppliers today in time to get a 180 or 2 90's to revamp that pipe and get it welded up

[scotty nm35]

Or you could lobster around the filler. I find its much easier for tight bends and cheaper than a mandrel or donut. I just dont like mixing the two styles unless I have to.

[Mick_o]

Had to take your advice scotty no suppliers open today lol halfway there now ill post up my new setup later on but its coming up mint

[Mick_o]

Ok so i finished making up my cooler pipework today had to fabricate my own bends which im not a fan of as its shit loads more welding lol So heres a load of pics of my work

Im looking start doing more fabrication work so if anybody out there likes my work shoot me a PM for some custom work

[Mick_o]

Made a custom staino flange for my BOV">

[Mick_o]

Hers 1 of the lines purged up and welded ">
