IMPORTANT : After removing inlet pipe

DO NOT DROP ANY THING DOWN THAT METAL PIPE

IF THIS HAPPENS DO NOT START ENGINE


when this happens swear like a banshee, then run around in a panic realiseing your on track in 4 days :-(

then remember the miracle magnet tool and thank god you got both washers and the screw :-)

mental note fixing heatshield at the same time was a bad idea

Lots of aerosol caps fit neatly over the inlet pipe and can ward off sudden bouts of Touretts..

Daggles, i know you were knocking these out on Ebay (ages ago but no longer?) i don't suppose you have the measurements to hand so i can turn one up at work do you please?

My cars been tucked away for forever a while but wouldnt mind giving this a place on my "to do" list at some point :rolleyes:

sizes for an OEM Vxt turbo would be great mate (Vxr one is also on said list!) :D


thumbsup


p.s. i dont care if it makes bugger all difference as it'll give me something to do :lol:

Just making a new batch but if you want to make your own it's 60mm OD, 52mm ID, 8mm thick. It's the same size for the Z20LET and LEH turbo.
