Bildo Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 No problem mate, you'll have to wait for Joe's opinion on how well it performs and other questions about the piping etc as I'm not aware of anyone else that has this kit. Seems to be the same as the ones previously mentioned at a more reasonable price though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Curtis Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 looks real nice bud, the cooler sits behind the bumper lovely, thats just how you wanted it(no mullered bumper) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joe-ep91 Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 looks real nice bud, the cooler sits behind the bumper lovely, thats just how you wanted it(no mullered bumper)Yeah man you know. Didn't have to take anything off the bumper apart from obviously the surface the number plate sits against. Really happy with this kit, the piping is a bit different to the hdi kit (longer hotside route) but this doesn't really bother me. Really noticeable difference in sound and the boost just feels more lively, especially pulling away stationary. So yeah its a reccomendation to anyone on a tight budget.Cheers for the feedback, uprated manifold next Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Bout time on the mani lolFMIC looks awsome mate, not a fan of the kits that have the piping from the cooler angled downwards though.Keep it up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joe-ep91 Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 Bout time on the mani lolFMIC looks awsome mate, not a fan of the kits that have the piping from the cooler angled downwards though.Keep it upIm not a fan either mate but hdi you get severe bumper lossage and anything else your looking at a fair few hundred quid.Plus i swear its not quite as low as some i've seen, will be easily hidden when i get a lip Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joe-ep91 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 Small update:New autobahn radiator fitted due to stock one had a hole in it and coolant pissed out everywhere. Can you spot the other addition to the bay???:Yep that's right,I decided it was time to get rid of the stock efi pipe and sort myself out with a front mounted filterAll pics taken with my new Sony Ericsson w995 8.1mp camera Hopefully will be getting an uprated manifold at the end of the month when i get paidJoe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dean @RW-Developments Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 looking good man. did you notice the difference when you re located the filter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joe-ep91 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 looking good man. did you notice the difference when you re located the filter?Cheers mate. Yeah i noticed a difference. A lot of it was noticeable due to the boost starting to creep a bit but gonna get boost controller for this and wind the actuator down a bit for the meantime. The noise changes lots too both on spool up and dumping Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JAG Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 you go that boost creep sorted yet biatch? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joe-ep91 Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 Nah man the creep isn't fully sorted but gonna run an ebc soon after i get the manifold. Turned the boost down to 8psi and it creeps to 10psi, so not too bad. Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
