Christ that is some pipe routing, what went wrong with the twin pass?

You gone for 2 1/4 or 2 1/2?

mines still at 2 inch pipe, not sure where the limitations are on ic piping, conflicting info out there.

turbo is in a nice position, loving the v band on the downpipe too, wish I'd gone for one of those!

[Tom]

Oooooooo looks so cool!!

The twin pass I had was way to big think it the
Biggest one they do on eBay I am using 2.5 piping not sure
Meself if it will make much difference and the
V band I thort would make it easier to adjust my down pipe and the merc turbo uses a v band so had half on the turbo it's 3 inch out of the turbo and then I have reduced it down to 2.5 hope
To c how it goes in a few weeks or
Less

Haven't done much to it really just been doing things like getting gearbox oil and drive shaft nuts had a bit of time so I thort I would see why it used to surge a bit checked fuel filter and that was all fine so I removed the fuel strainer from the tank and found this think this was my problem lol bit dirty





Cleaned it all ok so the fuel should flow good again now

[zx_volcane]

[Piggy]

I had the red flakes when I cleaned my old ph1 out...weird.

Looking fapping epic fella

[ozonehostile]

That pipe route looks great, may have to change the route I'm going as I've got major clearance issues with the phase 1 bumper.

That strainer is probably the worst one I've seen yet haha
