Baz69birds Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 WHAT MODEL DO YOU HAVE?? Ive got a CLASSIC & apon fitting the Pipe that goes Underneath the Intercooler!! i CUT the original Plastic Pipe & Fitted the SAMCO pipe to it with a Jubille Clip.
dazzlers82 Posted January 24, 2007 Author Posted January 24, 2007 i got a clssic to mate so will have to cut pipe i just dis not want towitout knowing an also my hks dump valve wont fit in pipe i got to get an adaptor for it before i fit thanks.
Baz69birds Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I had my Pipe Blow off & had a Local Garage Fix it, & they BODGED (sp) IT, so Had to get SAMCO PIPE as was told this will give it a MASSIVE 1BHP more because of the Wideness of the Insides of the Pipe?? Old Pipe, with Dump Valve Bodged Bit!! New Pipe Close Up The piece of Pipe that goes UNDER the Intercooler, Wasnt Long enough to fit to the Underside Of the Intercooler,So the OLD HARD black PLASTIC pipe that was already there, I cut, slide the SAMCO over the cut end piece, & clamped it tight!! Does this Help? Baz

Baz69birds Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 yes mate thank you for that the garage definately were good at there job i hope you tipped them lol. you will have to give everyone there no so can all go there. funny thing was that the gap where the Yellow pipe is was 5cm roughly, the yellow PIPE was only 4cm, He charged me £50 for the cost of the pipe & £35 labour. after it popped of twice, i bought a piece of SAMCO £75? took it to him & said "ive just paid £75 for all this & you charge me for £50 for that bit THATS TOO SMALL" i fitted samco myself & took the yellow pices back & got my MONEY back []
dazzlers82 Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 so would i of its not that even a major job they could of chucked that on for nothin to get u out of trouble but not as a permanent job i dont think people understand that with cars like these things have to be done right other wise will end up costin the earth to keep puttin right.
