Out with the old....
And in with the new
Started the front mount today
Changing all the hoses for blue as well, so I'll drain the coolant tomorrow and get cracking with that too, watch this space for more pics over the next couple of days. Just need my headers and a remap - hopefully next week Rich
If anyone is at a loose end tomorrow feel free to come around and dig in

The top mount was from the states, XS Turbo or somthing like that, wasn't the best fit, but I made it work.
The front mount was a Japspeed one from the group-buy, seems to be okay so, but I can give a full post-mortem later today hopefully

The induction kit I have is too big, and whilst changing the hoses the one way valve to the brake servo became a 2 way valve!!!!

Not all bad, did some re-engineering (it's not bodging Mags) of the induction kit and trimmed some coolant hoses and it has all gone in
Just waiting for some hose for my DV recirc bung and then a valve from Rich, tomorrow will be mostly cutting and re-fitting the bumper, and if that goes well getting the sport cat on too

Clutch is next on the list, and the scoop as it is will cool the intercooler pipes and keep the charge temps down a little more

If you need a hand to hold anything while putting back together let us know I'll only be sleeping and watching TV all day.
The next thing got any plans for your old purple pipes? Wouldn't mind first offers if any of them fit or just to pop round and compare sizes??
Keep up the good work!

Chopped up my front bumper today and relocated the cold air feed. Had to trim the driver's side fog light opening quite a bit to clear the hose and get the bumper on. Some re-engineering of the brake ducts required to, but it is all now back together - sport cat next
