looks nice and solid mate,you done good job on that thumbs up :)

[M-R-P]

Very nice, black and black and some more black, looks the business! (maybe some red HT leads to make it super sexxy?)
One question... what is your heatshield shielding? that layout won't stop any heat from getting in?
Don't get me wrong, it looks really nice but I can't see it having any practical advantages?

The air feed pipe lines up pefect inside the heat shield so im hoping as air hits the sheild it will atleast push it 180 degrees around the filter?! Will see lol

I like your logic ;)

Quick question mate. What size fitting did you get to go on to the top intercooler hose?
Im sure its a 55mm dia pipe but ASH dont do a 76-55mm 45 Deg reducer?

[t5steve]

is this what you are after
ebay item number 330578233607

[Mongo]

Ive got an ipd cooler got 2.5 cuffs. Jus use a reducer cut down then a normal 45 degree mate u will get it in its not mega tight.

Sorry mate just looked at my last post and ive put the wrong size on it. Its a 76-55mm i need for the top intercooler. I can get a 76- 60mm but that means ive got 5mm of extra play on the internal dia.

So do the reducer 45 deg bends reduce slowly or just step down if you know whst i mean?

[Mongo]

Step down reducer there about 6" long i cut em down to about 4". The ASH hoses are good strong 4 ply i was imprested value for money is good.

[Mongo]

45 reducer is slow reducing almost like a cone shape.
