well i got my order through today from forge, tip, 007 dv, and dogbone.
well i don't have anymore money to pay a garage to fit em so i decided to do it myself. i'm not to good at following instructions as i usually browse through em picking up key words making mistakes in the process. never the less i'm to inpatient to wait, so i followed the instructions i found from this site http://www.ottawa-vdubbing.com/forums/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8651
through this site :D.
i had to do it after i had installed the dv, then to realize i had to take it off again lol. :mad:
after struggling and coming back and forward from my computer like a yo-yo i started to doubt if i could do it, i seemed to be pulling off a lot of hoses and was worried i wouldn't remember where they went, but i couldn't stop so i carried on.
I got the bottom where the pipe connects to the turbo, and on the site it said to jack the car up, so off i went, jacked it up then had to take the underneath engine cover off which was a pain. where it mentioned a bolt (step 4) i couldn't see it, plus being under the car i was no where near the t.i.p so i got out undone the last clip and started wiggling it to get it out. it worked :drunk: it came off and i have no idea what he was on about with the bolt? :confused:
so i put it back together no problems, needed soapy water because the pipe was tight. got it all on and not one spare screw, usually i always have something left over! it was a miracle, :worship: so now its all on apart from the dogbone and this is a message to all, it can be done, follow the instructions use your head and have a credit card in case you c0ck it up lol.
does anyone know where i can find a step by step guid on the dogbone?

well first i want the car to be ready for the extra power if it needs upgrading like other hoses, suspension, arb ect, once i get everything ready either turbo or fmic i'll no doubt be asking everyones advice but i wont be looking till around next april-june time.
 
Good luck! Mine only cost £25 to be fitted in the garage, but if your happy to do it your self go for it, It looks easy enough, i was just lazy
 
if i had £25 i would lol, 1st i got to buy a torque wrench so might be as cheap to take it to a garage! if the old man has one i do have 1 question, laugh if u will :) where is the link? where abouts on the car lol, like i said a monkey with a spanner lmao.
 
Pretty much in the middle, right at the bottom (if your looking in engine bay) at to the back of the engine. get under the car and you will see it ;)
