Have ordered a powertec kit for my NA 3 weeks ago and it still hasnt arrived despite being given a 4 day eta on ordering The latest excuse is that the instructions are being re-written so i have asked for it to be sent out without them - does anyone have any advice or instructions they could scan in to help me get the bloody thing on (assuming that it does acually turn up!) cheers

to be fair the instructions werent much cop. Pete asked me to take a few pics (as i have one) - but its so far in the engine bay that they came out crap.... I have instructions on how to remove the airbox -send me your email on a pm. I've just sent Pete a PM asking if he want the pics even if they are crap or not?? Its the angle, the pipes, the bodywork... Just always in the way

Just spent the past few hours trying to fit the bloody thing with a mate that works on VX's and has fitted several induction kits..... Getting the airbox out was easy enough after getting the rear wheel off as it was stuck solid to the hub So went to fit the powertec and all the brackets seemed the same as the K&N without the silicone extension to the intake pipe. So fitted the filter and brakets to the intake pipe etc and went to fit it on the car...did it fit - did it f**k Both of us the spent the next hour or so trying to workout how we could get it to fitusing what i had been supplied and we both came to the same conclusion that the filter needed the silicone extension as fitted to the K&N So we then farted around putting all the original bits back on. I am now a very very unhappy customer after waiting 3 weeks for it to arrive and then finding that it will not fit...needless to say i will be speaking to the supplier tomorrow and returning the filter So everyone, whats the best filter to get next - K&N or Pipercross?
