[TuxMan]

Has anyone got any pictures of the pro-alloy hard pipe kit fitted , seem to be having a bit of brain fade when it comes to the front turbo air filter supply ........can it only be fitted with the pro-alloy water tank ?? thanks Simon

Hi Simon - I think the technical answer is no but the practical answer is yes. Here are a couple of photos of my hard pipe kit. The pipes now supplied are different to the photos on the Pro-Alloy site as the front turbo pipe is one piece and an bh to fit (whether you have the OEM water tank or otherwise).

Happy for you to come and look - York can't be that far away.





You can see that there is not much room with the original water tank. I have also since replaced the hoses on the air intake so both aluminium pipes are now aligned

But they are still black .

Thanks mate , great help . i,ve got them fitted right but there is no way in hell the std water tank is going to fit !!!....bugger, and because the pro-alloy tank sits down into the chasis its going to hit all my new fuel system !!! st !!


also my main inlet pipe to the throttle body has a bloody great hole in it ....guess its for a BOV ..........which i don,t have !!! guess i need to get onto Wayne at pro-alloy tomorow !!!

Get them to add the sight glass so you can see the level of the coolant - it also looks good. I am sure Wayne will do you a deal
