Just wondering how to put this kit on guys as instructions are not that good. Anyone no any videos or any good detailed instructions.

Thanks

If you have a standard one on the tmic just undo the 2 bolts and remove the 2 hoses you cap off the biggest hose and with the blanking plug. Did you get a back plate too im sure the hks dvs you have to buy a backing plate to make it fit. Will double check in a bit. But if you have it just tighen it up again with the 2 bolts and attach the small hose. Just going to jump in the shower late back tonight then I will check after I've eaten.

Did you get one of these ?

No didn't get one of them pal. But the instructions shows that u take the original off and use the plate it's one for the hks?? Not sure at all they arnt thorough enough for me to do it lol. Gutted coz it's sat there. Will get it done this week just hope what Iv got is the full kit. Got it from scoobyworld it does say it comes with the relative fitting kit for each model. Sure it does.

I will ask you did get the right year from the drop down menu ? 

Just want to make sure :) 

[dezmond_vr6]

Yea pal can't remember what it said now 03 - 07 new age think somet like that. I gave the reg number aswell in description. U think Iv got wrong one??

[Gambit]

Be 01 to 07 no it should be fine I just wanted to check you hadn't just hit the buy it button and not used yhe drop down to pick it I know how easy it is. I will see if I can get a guide from the site to see the destructions see how it says so I can get an idea of what you are looking at.

[dezmond_vr6]

Cheers bud appreciate the help.

[Gambit]

I can't find one but if you want to take a picture of everything you was given to fit it be best way. But got these might help you see what I mean 

 

So this is what you should have in now unless it has another type of dump Valve fitted before you bought 

Unbolt that, just make sure you don't drop the bolts aa towel under it might help if worried :) 

now remove the two pipes one under it and the small one. 

Bung the pipe under it as said before and as above in the picture 

And if you have the right kit with the diamond shape flange should look like this 

[dezmond_vr6]

Thanks bud I'll look into this. Quick question what's the difference between blow off valve Iv got and waste gate the do??

[Gambit]

They're not the same thing at all mate. A Wastegate is simply a turbine bypass valve "internal" and "external". But basical I'm guessing you're on about external one that you set up at the Boost pressure you want to max out at and the extra exhaust gases will escape which then makes a more consistent noise like a dump valve if you like.

 

[dezmond_vr6]

Oh right I dnt want to be using that then lol. Just didn't realise is all. Cheers

[dezmond_vr6]

As for the kit I dnt have that flange I'm sure of it. And on the description it tell u to remove the black hard piping that runs across the inter cooler just above the recirc valve on the picture. Tomoz someone is going to look at it for me.

[dezmond_vr6]

Just had a good look the DV is already mounted to the triangle fitting what I dnt have if I'm suppose to is a gasget for the fitting not sure if it's ment to have one between the fitting and the part it bolts too??

[Gambit]

Ok maybe easier to get someone to. [emoji6] the bugeye was removed but the blobeye was just plugged. The plug just makes it easier.

[dezmond_vr6]

Now Iv looked properly at it and your pictures it makes more sence and now I think I could do it pretty easily. It's literally 2 bolts and bung one pipe then attach one pipe and it's done but I'll wait till Tomoz to be safe. Like I say the only think I dnt have is like a gasget which I would have thought I'd have needed to go between the 2 plates wen attaching it and tightening the 2 bolts?? What do u think??

[dezmond_vr6]

So Iv got it on and all working fine so far. Not been on a run with it yet tho. One thing is that it's a very high pitch sound. How can I go about making the sound deeper? I no u can change something that changes the sound.

its the insert coloured purple on Gambits photos - as I understand it there are 2 additional options
