Supradoopa Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 When do you get the sxy bit of metal then dude?? Just waiting for the turbo to get done The manifold looks superb, also the rest of the kit too Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Picked Up my AEM AFR this afternoon, spoke to paul and he's sending out 3'' v-band, and coil pack housing conectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieren1234 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Looks like where you plumb the wastegate back into the exhaust. Yeah i thought that but he doesnt have a recirc kit for the wastegate. Can this part of the exhaust be blanked off and the wategate used with screamer pipe on the end?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkR Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I'd guess so. I'm pretty sure Paul mentioned this on the whifbitz section of the forum when talking about the turbo kit. Have a quick look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Quick update, Spoke to Ian today. He was fitting everything up and noticed that there was a Valve Seat missing from the wastegate and vband flange for the screamer pipe missing. So quick phone call to Paul and all was sorted. Parts arriving tomorrow are Coil pack housing units x 6 3'' Vband for Turbo vband for screamer Pipe Valve Seat. Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 So all my parts have now been dropped off to Ian. We talked about a few niggling things to be done, pipes fabricated and the down pipe tapped for the new AEM AFR. Manifold is on along with turbo just to make sure everything fitted ok. So were good to go. Ian will send photo's as the install progresses. check out the pics i took. Turbo looks Huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
