mine took me ages!! had to do loads of modding plus i also fitted a cold air feed so had to mod all the piping and was a really tight squeeze."

FMIC can give a louder chatter IMO

So he purchased/"fitted a fmic,a cold air feed, had it mapped" and spent time on "loads of modding"....The chap who put this comment up broke his engine 4 months later.

Hi Mark. I just searched and found the thread, then did a search of the bloke. Dont get me wrong, I was running valveless (again after checking with David at API and Kev at the clinic) and will be on the new build too. Its ok to do on certain turbo`s apparently. All I was getting at is that you have to be careful what advice you take on chat forums. I wasnt saying if it was right or wrong, but he spent time and money and then broke his engine. Draw your own conclusion.
Mine shouldnt be too long now. Sometime this month with luck but I wont rush David at API. Thanks for asking

Any one know if a hks ssqv is quieter than a Bailey dv? Got mine back the other day but it's not mapped yet just drove it home and was told not to boot it but I wanted to hear the dump so just about brought it on boost about 3k revs and it seemed really quiet I know this is probably cuz it was hardly boostin anything... Anyone had a Bailey and a hks???

No worries Bud, you know how it is, things can always be read two ways, i must learn to keep my opinions to myself, lets not have a vote either, you lot, (Old foag modes kicking in) unfortunately thats the trouble with modern life nobody just chats anymore, in my day we didnt have mobile phones or forums, you had to use a phonebox.

look forward to see it, all the best.

Dropped in a Cosworth air filter yesterday to replace my oe one then Fitted an HRC fuel pump.
It wasn't as hard a job as I first thought, was a bit fiddly but once I figured out how the back seats came out it was plain sailing.

Took my back seat out last week but left the belt clips under the seat when I put it back in, had to repeat the whole thing again to get them out
