Lee P Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I thought they was the ones that mashed belts? get the Titan ones mate, 5 bolt and look much better. The early versions did, these are the later ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 ive got a set of these on mine mate. They look very nice with a chrome backing plate. Think we're cutting most of the surround away to leave the cam pulleys expose mate, and gettting the cam covers polished today. Now i ned to decide what colour to do my spark plug cover as its currently blue and wont match anything now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The early versions did, these are the later ones. - the newer versions are much better according to Sumo Power. He said the difference between 3 and 5 bolt is minimal in tuning terms ....

JamieP Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Good question mate, in what ways can it be improved? There is lots of different schools of thought on it, you have to do something with the exhaust side now the stock turbos have gone, i have left my intake side as stock. I went with -12 (although stock size exit should be fine) on the exhaust side cam cover to a catch can, others put them straight into the intake pipe, im just about to change mine again though, getting rid of the catch can for a cleaner look and extending the pipe under the car so it exits right at the back.

Jamesy Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) This is all the junk Lee has managed to clear from under the manifold since we now have the GReddy plenum going in and stock turbos are gone ...... And now the runners have also been stripped and removed of unwanted bits .... smooooth!
