Wish i got that intercooler kit now

It'll definitely be a 1 piece gasket.... All Turbo XUD9s are a one piece gasket, it's the NAs that aren't.

[silverzx]

Nice one Ruan! Mills the place to go for a new one?

[silverzx]

Not much of an update but replaced my tired air filter and adjusted pumps throttle/LDA some more.

Looks good mate, the IC kit should be great, shouldn't need to hack the bumper up to get that in

Get it fitted then, I still see a top mount in the pics

Cheers mate, trying not to rush into the FMIC though. Need order a gasket (I'll do that now), and some 90* silicone bends.

[mark_airey]

Crack on then

i've got one if you need one pal...

[mark_airey]

I've got one if you need one pal...

Inlet/exhaust one that is required IIRC for what they cost he would be as well just just get one

sorry, i meant a 90* silicone :roll: my bad... and a piece of straight pipe if its any good..

[silverzx]

I got a gasket from my local for £5 ~ something. So that's sorted.

Ginge, do you have one 90* bend silicone? Is it 2.25"?

[devils_fuel]

Are the breaks ok?

[silverzx]

Bit of squealing when turning now and then but I'm sure that's them just bedding in. :thumbup:

[silverzx]

Gave her a oil & filter service along with tweaking LDA some more and fine tuning.

Devil_Fuel & Connor were also kind enough to fit my 266's in the pouring rain on Saturday! Nice one lads!

Few updates & pic's below:

1 - Cleaned Inlet.

2 - De-badge (don't like it).

3 - De-badge (don't like it).

4 - LDA hanging on by couple threads.

5 - Inlet/Exhaust gasket for FMIC (says XUD7 but looks same)?

6 - Close up of ^ label.

7 - LDA pins from scrappy.

8 - Oil used on left, potential usable oil on right?

[Pugmarshall]

I recently ordered some gaskets for my dturbo, all BGA gaskets, and they all say XUD7 too, wouldn't worry about it

[Connor]

Id say 15w40 was too thick, but seeing as you already have it, might as well use it lol

[silverzx]

If all goes to plan should be on by end of next month.

[Dan!]

Looks like you've got enough for 3 fmic systems there! haha

[puglove]

Looks tidy dude , black ph1s are pure porn. a set of ph1/2 side skirts need adding to the wanted list

[silverzx]

@!Dan - Haha tell me about it, thought I'd get too many then not enough. Also not 100% sure what way I'm going to route it yet so at least having lots of pipes leaves my options open!

@puglove - Cheers mate, not sure if I can be arsed with side skirts etc. Quite happy just leaving the bodywork standard. Do the skirts really make that much difference?

[puglove]

Personally i always think the sill looks like its been bent with out them, just make the 306 look that little bit wider and meaner, also looks a bit low spec with out them i think

[puglove]

Stolen from mr lobb to give you an idea of the difference with skirts

[silverzx]

Yeah it looks good mate! How much do skirts go for roughly?

[Ruan]

Not a case of how much, it's how often!!!!

I've been looking for a set for bledy years that aren't fecked or £ra*e.99...

[puglove]

It just so happens i have a set of 3door astor grey ones you could have for 30 notes just throw a can of black over them

[Ruan]

Dammit!

[mark_airey]

Dammit!

And I even offered you one of the 2 sets I have which you turned down so stop bloody complaining!
