Ok, with the recent damage to the car, i am thinking long term plans here.
I intend to powerflex the engine mounts, and polybush/powerflex the suspension bushes.
i know what i need to do them.
But if i want to put on the GTi6 exhaust and inlet manifolds. what do i need? other than the manifolds, and do they simply bolt on?
I know the exhaust will be tight, as i have aircon, of which i do intend to get working again so i dont want to loose anything from that system,
Currently all i have done engine wise, is fit a nice new closed filter.
i will be loosing the original inlet rubber, and going straight in, this will free up a little space, and smooth the airflow into the manifold. I will also be modifying the cold air duct. At the moment its standard, and pointing down behind the bumper. I want it to sit above the panel, and be wider. Allowing it to suck in all the air coming through the gap between the bonnet and bumper.
