Hi Dino, Thank you for that information ill be setting myself aside some time to have a go at that.. When you say gasket overlaps do you mean the gasket restricting the flow and the size of the hole between the intercooler and the DV?

UPDATE... Waited 2 !Removed! weeks for new DV... Doesnt fit lmao... Firstly... HKS SSQV is a fake as per several "how to spot" videos and forum posts... Secondly... Adapter flange is a load of tosh! Doesnt allow the DV to be fitted as it fouls the inlet manifol. Thirdly... its almost impossible to fit the DV to the adapter flange. All in all a rather unsucessfil outcome. Awaiting a reply from seller with regards to selling counterfeit goods as genuine.. hopefully they will cough up my doh. Then its back on the hunt for another.. I will report back once i get a step further but use this as a warning all... If it looks too good to be true.. errr it is!

Drifting in the snow is likely to increase fuel consumption

Wow.. shes a looker!!!

Its no prob just glad for any help... I thought i can recirculate with it too so after what you said can try both ways. .see which works best.

Ok.. so rather tgan beating around the bush ive bought a new DV... HKS SSQV with a new adapter plate with sealing O'rings.. ill wait delivery.. which is about 15 days from now and report back to let you know the out come. Than you for your advice... If anyone else has anything to add please feel free your knowledge is grwatly appreciated .

Hi and thanks Savage Bulldogs

Thank you Gambit. Look forward to picking everyonrs brains here....

Ok so here are the photos of the DV i cant say for sure but i think i found it online as in the last photo.. they look exactly the same and its from www.mattlewisracing.com however he only sells them for 97-99 models could this be the problem?? I also believe he sells on ebay...

Alway vpower where possible if not its the 97ron ultimate type stuff never regular unleaded.

Ah ive heard of this pill n know where it is ill take a look at that too.. thank you... ill report back Again thanks for the advice. Any more ideas and suggestions greatly appreciated too...
