If you want to keep it where it is, raise the bonnet more. If not then move the filter.
Re: clearance issue - studturbo - 18-01-2012

Re: clearance issue - 4WayDiablo - 18-01-2012

Re: clearance issue - Connor - 19-01-2012
That looks totally retarded... but each to their own I suppose... Imo just put it back to how it was until you can sort something that allows you to shut the bonnet properly
Re: clearance issue - mark_airey - 19-01-2012
Your bonnet appears to be broken :o ........... you should fix that!
Re: clearance issue - Mattcheese31 - 19-01-2012
hit the pipe with a hammer until it's flat . . .
Re: clearance issue - declantg - 19-01-2012

Apart from making it look worse and not being able to see where your going for the back of the bonnet!
hock: (if you can't tell I dislike bonnet raisers 
)
Re: clearance issue - declantg - 19-01-2012
I get the slight impression you hate them aha! My bonnet is raised but only buy something like 8mm
Re: clearance issue - Ruan - 19-01-2012
Don't use rubber hose, go to a hydro place and get some reinforced almost like hoover tubing, they do some stuff that's heat resistant, Darren and I have used it before, you can make it fit past...
Re: clearance issue - studturbo - 19-01-2012
I really hate my bonnet bin raised
but i wont my filter were it is.so i think what ruan said am gunner do thanks ruan
Re: clearance issue - studturbo - 19-01-2012
Would grinded this bit of the skin under the bonnet do owr too my bonnet cos thats what my pipes are hitting ?

As you can see by looking at the bonnet you just know its gunner hit it
Re: clearance issue - darrenjlobb - 19-01-2012
What ruan said, just get decent flexi stuff...anything which has steel / hard plastic ribbing around the outside for vacume hose.....most hydro stores sell it...
Re: clearance issue - hbomb1905 - 20-01-2012
Or cut a bit of the support out of the bonnet frame?

You can, but then you will find it starts bending whenever you open / close the bonnet and it soon fecks the paint....

or you could bend the bonnet around what ever is in the way (like a massive turbo) and make it fit by forcing it closed couldn't you Darren...............
Re: clearance issue - padge - 20-01-2012
lol @ darrens turbo buldge
Re: clearance issue - mark_airey - 20-01-2012
Its a speed hump..........
Re: clearance issue - darrenjlobb - 20-01-2012
Obviously.... Lifting the middle of the bonnet section up everytime you come on boost due to engine movement is clearly just an "on boost engine mount"

On boost engine stabilisation FTW, I have one of those on mine, its called the bulk head
Re: clearance issue - darrenjlobb - 20-01-2012
Pmsl! Even Ruans VNT dosnt hit the bulkhead! Clearly not enough hammer action mark! Altho ill admit its a fucker to do when the motors still in the car

I know, I had a bashing before I put the turbo on but its even harder when the turbo is in place as well! It will get done, it just depends if the bulkhead eats my compressor housing before I do it or not now
either way the turbo has to come off which I just don't have the time for at the moment but the turbo rattling against the bulkhead on boost is doing my head in!
Re: clearance issue - studturbo - 20-01-2012
Well i sorted the clearence issue yesterday and then
my engine went boom my cam pully cracked and knocked my timing out what as bent my valves andsmashed my pistons
Re: clearance issue - Dan! - 20-01-2012
What a joke Stu!
So unlucky mate..............
Re: clearance issue - studturbo - 20-01-2012
I wiped my head off and checked valves and pistons and nothing seems too be broken
my valves dont seem too be bent check too see if thay seal and thay do i turned them with cam bolt and not one looks bent.
Then i checked my pistons and thay seem too be working fine too so hopefully a cheap fix for me

Re: clearance issue - sweeney1987 - 26-01-2012
