    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.
    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....

    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.

    850R manual, Rica 310, IKEA fitted bathroom, H&C running water, Jetex 2.5", pipe rack, cap stand, Forge BOV, circular wheels with full 360 degree rotation, 302mm discs, IPD front and rear anti-roll bars, numerous shiny features, sub-atomic particle accelerator, VTOL capability ...Volvo With Attitude!!!
    Also to be seen in a gold Honda CR-V these days...

    wow give me chance man, been working(ish) nights so have to sleep









    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

    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"
