Hi Stevie, I have a list at home on my laptop after I made the last set. Ill post it up when I get home for you.

As for the connector for the idle control valve yes you do need one. There are a few ways you can do this. Either weld an outlet to the pipework, cut into the silicone with a silicone valve or buy a ready made 60mm pipe with a T-piece already fitted.

I can give you the size for the turbo (all I can remember, sorry) 50mm i/d.

Jerry, I have been meaning to ask this for a while. Is there a particular reason why you have an aquatic bottom-feeder with a Volvo badge as your avatar??? Unless you like feeding on aquatic bottoms that is...

Good luck with the day by the way.

you will need a 19mm port welding into the last pipe for the idle control valve, can't remember the actual sizes needed for the ports as the info was on my old USB stick which got lost

Turbo-T! That is a bit too intellectual for me - you have been living in France TOO long! You will be quoting Foucault and Camus next!

they are all silicone joints, the lengths of straight pipe you'll have to measure up & cut yourself. That list is to make a 76mm rip

I've got a spare stainless 2.5 (63mm) lower rip pipe tig welded with dv and icv outlets I'll be popping on eBay.

Nice fit too.

I have a top pipe as well, which I may also pop on eBay, but it was a slightly odd fit as I made if out of off cuts, again stainless 2.5"
