Well the THS hoses come on Thursday, water, boost and Tip, then the wife said she was going to take my son to see his gran for the week end did i want to come, well the cars going to have its MOT on Friday so i had better give the car a once over i said
All week end to spend working on the car
I also finished the gauge pod i was working on so i put that in as well.
I am really please with it.
Then i did the hoses, the water ones first they are a PITA to be honest, i need a skin graft on my knuckles now, but it was worth it, really easy to drain the system to with the little tap at the bottom of the rad.
The intercooler hoses where a bit of a problem especially the one from the inlet manifold to the right hand side inter cooler its a bit to long, but a bit of work with the hack saw and bobs your uncle ( used on the stupid plastic pipe not the nice new one).
The Tip was easier than i was expecting and went in a treat.
The quality of the pipes is excellent, and the intercooler hoses and the tip will never collapse thanks to the reinforcing wire inside them.
While i was at it i painted the cam cover and boost pipe thought i would go for the mat black and red look, pleased with this as well.
I went for a small test drive after, the DV noise is about 5 times as loud as it the induction i like it so not a problem, it also seemed a bit quicker but this is probably my imagination.
So all together a good weekends work and very happy with the THS pipes.
Here are some pics.
