So I replaced nearly all the stock clamps with new ones....Well after a long day, its all over... I took out the whole plazmaman kit and started from scratch cause I wasnt happy with the fit, and now it sweet as. Got all the angles right so it all lined up as it should.. Made sure everything was clamped etc....PS I totally forgot about the top part of the cooler, to paint it black. Will hit it with a spray can soon...I also took some more pics... enjoy.. One of the pics is of a silicone hose that I had trouble fitting.. When I first did it it had almost folds in it, but now as you can see its as it should be...Cheers Mike Edited 10/02/08 07:46 AM by MiKa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found out that you might not be able to get the exact same size but aim for that rough guide give or take a few mm and you should be right..Well as for differences, the flutter now sounds awsome, much higher pitched almost tinny (im not running a BOV)The car seems to reach full boost quicker and seems to pull better, but that might also be because I have the plazmaman hot side piping and a PW UBP... So I cant give a definate answer with just the cooler on..After my retune im hoping for nearly 300rwkw's... I have yet to put in my injectors, BF dump and 'high flowed' cat... I cant wait, my tranny is gonna hate me for it LOLGood luck with the install mate, all I can say is take your time and get someone to help you its way easier...Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
