Thats what im hoping for. Anyone have any ideas what make mine is? -
I just bought a GFB respons, which personally i love the sound of. You would have to get a universal one but you could buy silicone reducers and the likes to get it to fit.

Im getting this delivered on monday so just wanting to see how much cutting people have done to their bumpers, im not sure on the make of the intercooler and i will be removing my air con this weekend to help with fitting. Cheers!

I've just wired up my boost gauge after weeks of putting it off because i could not find a guide, turns out its pretty easy so i took photos to show you how I did it. I have assumed that you have connected the vacuum line to your sensor/gauge, this tutorial is only focusing on how to wire the power, lights, ignition and ground from the back of your head unit. Tools needed Screw driver (both flat and philips) Wire cutters A way of connecting the wires together, I used connecting block and crimping connectors supplied with my gauge (you can solder the wires if your confident) Helpful extras Multimeter Automatic cable strippers Spare wire, i got rolls of 5 amp cable from halford for around £3 each. (The cables supplied with my gauge were too short to reach the back of the head unit) Cable ties (keeps everything tidy) Step 1 - Removing the head unit To prevent damage to my screen i popped it off first. There may be 2 screws just above the climate controls (mine didnt have any but yours might) remove them if they exist. Then take a flat head screwdriver and carefully pop the fascia off. This takes very little force and wont fully come off at first as u will have to unplug some cables. Unplug these cables and the fascia will come off Next unscrew the 4 screws surrounding the headunit (mine are already out in photo) Pull the headunit towards you, being carefully as to not pull on the cables at the back. I rested my headunit just in-front of the gear stick while allowing access to the cables at the back. Step 2 - Finding which wires to use and connecting them. I have an aftermarket head unit connected and the people who connected it butchered my original head unit cables so this made it easy for me to spot the power and ignition cables as they were the only ones they used. These are the cables you are going to be using The colours of cables which you will need to use are as follows. Blue - Constant 12V Gray - Ignition Green - Lights You can see where i have connected the pink crimping connectors in the photo above. I had to use a black cable from the headunit for ground. Any metal part of the headunit should work as a ground if you are stuck. (multimeter is handy at this point) Now connect your cables to these using crimping connectors or soldering (i personally think the greddy crimping connectors were really easy to use and meant the cables did not need to be cut) The automatic wire strippers were really handy here for stripping cables without cutting them. Run the cables to your gauge, i mounted mine on top of the dash at the right hand side of the steering wheel, to access the panel underneath the steering wheel it was 4 screws at each corner. I used connector block to help extend my cables. The Greddy ones would not reach behind the headunit. Tidy everything up with cable ties and job done. Any questions feel free to pm me.

I am waiting on a GFB Respons BOV and a front mount intercooler (think its a jperformance, second hand) coming the next week or 2 in the post and am not entirely sure how i will fit them This type of BOV is both recirulating AND vent to atmosphere, it allows you to control the percentage of air recirculating or venting to atmosphere. See this video [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECkvx-YWgQI This is the intercooler Where will i hook up the pipe for recirculating? Im assuming with this intercooler i wont be able to keep my standard air filter so i will no doubt be relocating my air filter to in-front of my radiator. By doing this i would probably need to route a silicone hose to my new air intake and find a way of connecting it to that. would i be right? Heres a picture i took of my engine bay if that helps visualize things

Small update... Old Standard exhaust Nice shiney new HKS Hi Power Silent. Really love the sound of this exhaust, nice and subtle. Due to a minor oil leak from the rocker cover i will be removing it this weekend, fitting a new gasket and painting it.

Well it would seem that way, been pulled 3 times since i got it in october lol How often is everyone else getting a random stop? Bearing in mind its the drink drive campaign so more likely this time of year

I have focal access 6.5* components in the doors, tweeters in the mirror casings, custom door builds. I have a focal amp under the passenger seat too, this keeps clarity at high volumes. Really nice clear sound off them, plenty of low end, personally i didnt want a sub because i didnt want to give up the space and find them overkill. Will post photos later if anyones interested.

Infact, not to sound like an idiot or anything but standard bhp for glanza is 130-135 at the wheels or flywheel?
