Thumbs up

So:

K&N 57i air inductor
Sprayed intercooler protector (nice )
Forge vent to atmosphere dump valve
Boost gauge

I think that's it .... for now!

D'oh, looked again, you replace one of the pipes on the inlet manifold to feed the top of the dump valve, rather than take a feed off for a boost gauge!

Looks good mate, but I think the IC protector will be counter productive mate.
IMO it will prevent stray objects getting in , but also a certain amount of air????

Remember being down at the Powerstation last year with a guy with one on and the guys their told him to remove it ASAP

Just my 2p

Surely the i/c protector wont affect air that much, I put some mesh just under the bulge and fell no difference in take up, then again I dont track day maybe then where temp is more critical it would affect, maybe?

The easiest way to think of mesh on intercoolers is to imagine if the mesh was compressed so that there were no gaps, thats the amount of your intercooler that is being blocked by mesh and rendered useless.

draw your own conclusions from that.

Induction kit / Maf failure is more common on later cars due to a chocolate MAF, some induction kits create a turbulent air effect that damages the maf, other problems occur when the filter is not held tight and basically shakes the MAF to death.
