I just keep getting moaned at about when I'll be getting the parts out the house and out the way what's not realised is all the old parts will be coming back till I sell some of them
May 11, 20178 yr Author Day4 progress - induction hose test fitted, inlet manifold all wired in and bolted down then got most of the rest of the bay back in and relocated the coolant overflow reservoir in a nice polished mishimoto tank and started on the 3port oil catch can plumbing. Waiting on mishimoto to deliver the intercooler hoses then can get the last few bits done and test fire her up!
May 12, 20178 yr Haha looking good I'm currently whoring parts myself although maybe not quite as exciting as yours ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 12, 20178 yr I see you took your intake manifold off , how long roughly and how much of a pain in the !Removed! was it ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Getting the old one off was a bit of a struggle as you need to unclip every single pipe and wiring connector in the engine bay and undo alot of bolts in the engine bay to get it free and even then have to wiggle it about quite a bit to get it free from any other parts. I labelled up most of the pipes and wires with a marker pen and masking tape to get it back to together correctly. p Putting the replacement tgv delete inlet back on was a lot easier as I tidied up the wiring loom a lot before fitting and working with silicon pipes instead of the old rubber/plastic ones made it a bit easier too as the plastic oem intake pipe is just horrible. I'd say it's close to a full days work to do just the intake manifold.
May 13, 20178 yr I'm looking at getting tgv deletes for mine but trying to figure out if it's really worth it , but it will give me the opportunity to paint my inlet tho so not sure [emoji848] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 13, 20178 yr Picked up something similar to that epoxy you used, but Unibond. How did you fit it back on your intake delete? Did you cut it for fitment so it sits snuggly in and then epoxy it, or did you cut it bigger and have it sitting over the hole and epoxy? If that doesn't make sense I'll see if I can show you what I mean?

It's kind of like one of those last things to do if you have nothing left to do or need it off for some other reason

May 16, 20178 yr Author Day 5 Progress from yesterday drilled the mounting points for the 3 port catch can, secured it then connected up the 3 ports and directed the breather underneath the car, still awaiting a new intercooler hose set but got impatient and wanted to test fire up the car so built the majority back up to test and found the fuel injector by the airbox is leaking so need to see if the seals are damaged or whether it just needs reseating correctly then will check again if the car will fire up
May 18, 20178 yr Author Day8 progress: Absolutely chuffed, bar a few seized bolts on the old turbo and exhaust that I needed a hand getting off it's all my own work and it's now ready to go to Andy Forest for mapping! Over the moon it's all running ok. It's been a busy weeks work. Picture below of it stripped out last week and the end result!
June 8, 20178 yr Looking good mate , do you have a date for mapping yet ? Think it was mapped by Andy f bank holiday just gone 😂 Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
June 8, 20178 yr Author It certainly was, 345bhp is the end result which I am happy with! Completely different car to drive now, pulls very nice and smooth at a lightning pace
