Does this all look complete? A quick glance i cant see that theres anything missing. Just wanna check before fitting it, if theres anything missing rather get it ordered now.

And is this right way to fit?

1: short straight pipe from turbo straight up on the outlet.
2: long metal pipe with bend at turbo end.
3: pipe with slight s bend in it to top of intercooler. Looks new as it is almost, I burst the old one.
4: remaining pipe (plastic) from bottom of intercooler to throttle valve, with the little pipe for the idle valve.
Note this RIP only fits T5's up to 1998 MY , i.e. with throttle cables.
Before you fit it give the throttle valve a clean up.

That's the one that took longest, bloody thing! Seemed too tight to add a small silicone pipe to join, but managed it... Just
