Have you got all the pipes you need????
What FMIC have you got and is designed for your year of car???
If it's for a later model 98 onwards you'll need to get a 90 degree bend for the turbo pipe and they'll need to cut the pipe due to your 90 degree turbo outlet compared to the front entry of the 98 onwards.
I had to purchase a 38mm -25mm reducer for the dump valve and a 51mm streight hose to connect to the turbo as the hybrid kit doesn't come with it. You'll need to check the kit and the pipes to make sure you have all the bits.
Make sure they don't rush the bumper, we took about 3 hours cutting mine and there isn't alot left when you've finished

I used an after market VTA dump valve off a 97 car, but you can use the standard one
All the pipes seem about right to me. but I can't confirm 100% as my car isn't an My96

Throw it in the boot for the RR day we will have a little look for you and see what's best to advise.... we can give you some ideas of what you need to do to fit it as well then.
What map are you running on the car at this moment in time ?

Gutted for you, but as SSS says, bring it along and we'll have a good chat about it, you can have a good look under mine and Simb2 bonnetts(we both have the hybrid ones)
