Unhappy

Said I wouldn't do this but.......

My Forge Vta arrived today, opened the box to find the valve(Obviously) and the blanking plug. Cool so far!

Then thought....how the fek do I fit this thing???? Been doin search's on SN but can't find anythin.

Has anyone got a link or a pic that I can see, should be easier that way than guessing!!

Also, do I need anythin else?? Thought I'd at least get a wee rubber tube for the top of the valve?? Nope.

Any help would be much app.

- Bee

I hope you ordered the version with the flange...if so it's a VERY easy DIY job.

Open the bonnet, have a wee look at the intercooler...2 bolts, one fairly strong clamp on the large hose (this is where the plug goes), and one small vaccum hose for controlling the valve.

Remove and refit in reverse order...

Just taken a photo for you.

It really is a direct replacement for the old one, except you blank off the right hand (re circulating) pipe with the alloy bung.
