The other thing I forgot to say is that there is virtually no silicone hose in the system - so less elastic flex.

Looks good, smart work.

The only reason that the 90 degree pipe blew of was because I re-used a pipe that had been stretched over the top IC inlet. I knew it was a risk but trying to keep the costs down I thought it was worth a go. Hey ho. I have ordered a new 90 degree bend that should fit perfectly. Only problem is I am impatient & find it irritating to have to wait.

you've got to be running some serious boost to get flex out of 3ply silicone

I have fixed my little niggle. I cut the OEM vertical pipe down and paired it with the last 90 solid pipe I had with the kit.

I glued & clamped the cut pipe (as it no longer had a knurled end) - determined that it wouldn't budge.

And yes frank - I will be quicker

Also the route is now a little shorter & smoother.

Yes, pedro - but over time they do get softer.

Good job Dave, look's really nice, the top pipe would look the nuts if you could get it done in one whole section would finish your engine bay off perfect

**Wobbly Dave** · Friday 29th July 2011, 23:14

Well I asked IPD if they would sell their top pipe to me separately & they said no & wasn't about to spend $400 to just bin half the kit. However I am please with my first attempt. If anyone knows someone that could make up a pipe & still make clearance & keep it shiny & cost less than 40 quid then I am all ears.

Radtec in Cannock, just take them your template/pipework and they will make it for you, as usual ask Smithy to call them for you and arrange it he know's the owner(Keith). That's where im getting mine done all in one piece so no leaks at 1.7bar

**Jamest5r** · Friday 29th July 2011, 23:49

Can't find a better pic at the moment but you get the idea...

Do you know how much that would be approx for the top pipe?

Lets see first if it is worth the effort.

Ill pm you Smithy's number, he's starting work at midnight so give him a while to get into his run and im sure he would love a chat for an hour or so

I will stick it under my hat & wait to see if this development is worth the extra investment.

**lance** · Saturday 30th July 2011, 15:26

Good to see you and the beast again earlier.

**Wobbly Dave** · Sunday 31st July 2011, 00:33

It was lovely to see you too - & I am loving the new V50 T5 - still I think it needs the rear spoiler to set it off proper like.

TORQUE app for my Samsung Galaxy S II (running Andriod 2.1) - £2.49. Wireless bluetooth OBDII interface port jobby - 16 quid.

Being able to see real time telemetry & data log it & not have to stick in a stupid boost gauge - PRICELESS

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay-ZvTn3fLo"]Bit of a boring techie vid[/ame] - but it does show what I am getting.

ps - I just now need to modify the ODBII port itself so I can put the arm rest down. I will probably rotate it by 90 degrees so the adaptor can lie flat.

**Wobbly Dave** · Sunday 31st July 2011, 23:24

My modified ETM pipe came unglued today - so I wasn't happy. Sanded it all down again - reglued & pop-rivet it! It ain't going anywhere now (I hope #gulp#).

Which bluetooth adaptor did you get?
