You've put loads of effort it, I hope it'll all be worth it for you soon.
Love how you've mounted your gauges, it is exactly how I want to do mine, I've got them all, just need to get round to actually sorting them out.
Your intake then, is it 180° elbow off the turbo and then you've used flexi all the way?
I've got a 180°, which I'm gonna step up in size and use metal pipe along the way. Don't want it to collapse in on itself!
Cheers chap!
I wasn't going to have all the gauges but then I suddenly decided I wanted them. I think it was cuz of seeing Marks gauges in his 206 and it is always good to know what is going on. It was a bit more money than I was hoping to spend though.
For the intake I got a 90deg reducer off the turbo that goes from 51mm to 70mm, then I have a 70mm bit of alley pipe inside the reducer that then has some 70mm flexi pipe over that. Its not to bad but it is pretty tight at the back of the engine but I couldn't really think of any other way to do it as I didn't want to go de-filtered. It is flexi pipe all the way to the filter from the reducer but I have put the rest of the 70mm alley pipe I had in the straight bit to the filter to give it a bit of structure.
