First step to fitting was to strip the front end off the car and the induction.

Next was removing the bottom pipe, what a pig. Only access was through the wheel arch to undo the clips, once undone the only way I could remove the pipe was to cut it away. Once the pipe was cut out I removed all the pas pipe brackets, cut down the 406 pipe so it fit and mounted it up. To ensure the pipe couldnt move about I made a bracket to mount the pipe onto one of the orginal pas pipe mounts.

after this I started work on the bottom fmic mounts.

then I made a homade gasket for the top pipe to mount in and start dummying pipe work. When it came to fitting the slam panel again I found that there was a chunk needed removing.

then it was just a case of fitting the mikalors, making the top cooler brackets and cutting down the engine cover to fit.

Final step was just putting it all back together and admiring my amazing skills

And now were up to yestoday
Finally got my manual boost controller through. After getting under the car and realising what a bitch the job was gonna be I decided the easiest way to go about it was to fit a new pipe on the easiest to access part and stent the over pipe out with abit of copper so I could extend it to where I wanted the mbc.

not gonna lie tried to bodge this with washer jet pipe but kinda blew the shit outa the side of it lol. My mate came to the rescue with some wire rienforced hose so fitted it and spot on mounted the Mbc with a P clamp up near the strut brace for easy tweeking.

Slowly been collecting bits to do my clutch aswell. Bought a second hand cg ceramic clutch with minimal wear.
[attachment=15326]
ordered a new thrust bearing aswell (clutch came with one and a pressure plate but for the price of the bearing thought may aswell replace) and new gear box oil.
