    The new project blacky

    Decided to try a slightly different RIP design, getting rid of the Larger exposed piece of silicone, Ive still retained the standard size piping using some left over volvo pipe work i had so keeping everything oe lol.

    What do you peeps think, i'm hoping the disappearance of the silicone replacing it with alloy pipe will make her spool even quicker and hold boost even better as there will be alot less flex. Looks wise im not sure but hoping if its dry tomorrow i will take her for a spin.

    I've compiled a few more shiney pieces of pipe for mine but I'm spraying them black & following your idea of retaining the silicone hose kit Gav. Mine will be black & orange to match my planned colour scheme. It's good you've found your love for blacky again mate, after the day I've had you need to share your love! Lol
    Made up your troubles are sorted & you can start tuning.
