sh*t.  :sad1: Intercooler pipe wont fit round driveshaft and intake wont fit round brake fluid reservoir, fkin nightmare. Alex is looking into a new smaller dia intake for me to clear the reservoir and I am completely stuck with the cooler pipe. It needs oil and a battery other than that there is nothing left to do, stupid little annoying things holding me back. Stressful! It is booked in for mapping on 14th April. Cheers, Stevie.  :drinking:

Thanks Paula hopefully have it going soon, exhaust fitting tonight.

Dave I will try get some pics to you later on tonight, I have had a 90deg silicone fitted and a 45deg fitted but don't look right. Might need metal instead of silicone. Brought some wire home from work to bend to exact angle see how I get on. Sure it would be an easy job for somebody with the right tools.

Cheers, Stevie.  :happy2:

I've had a good look at the pics.  Just finding out a price on the 102-70mm 90 deg reducer.

You need to clock the turbo back slightly then I think a 130deg to bring the pipe over the top of the driveshaft or 2x 45's to bring it under.

Yikes ! If your struggling for pipes could you not get an custom exhaust maker to fab you some up ? And ceramic coat them or wrap them ?

Whens crail ? 29th april ?

I would if I had a tow bar or trailer. Even if I could bodge it so that I could drive it to a fab shop. I dont think I will wrap those pipes the THS will do its job.

Crail is 29th April, spoke to Revo yesterday and they are wanting to work on my car up there.

Cheers, Stevie.  :drinking:
