I didnt have any issues with fiting the coolerworx piping and the xr8 air box . yes its a tight fit - but mine went together well .then after all that I went to the turbo side air box lol.

Isaac mate would be very interested in your final out come mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac mate would be very interested in your final out come mate.Unless you want the airbox cocked up on a funny angle and not sitting hard down where it should or you heat and distort the snork to clear - it does not fit properly. I worked with coolerworx in an attempt to overcome this but we couldn't get it quite right after two attempts - fact. So unless my factory V8 box and snork was different I can assure you it doesn't clear the pipework. If anyone wants to put themselves through the punish, then go right ahead.

lightning g6e turbo Member 83 Member For: 14y 1d Gender: Male Posted 15/11/11 11:26 AM Share Posted 15/11/11 11:26 AM JASFG did your airbox sit up on an angle as bomber's did, I wouldn't like that either.Not doubting you at all bomber just wasn't sure how long ago you did yours and whether they ended up finding a way and changed it.

Dillz Three pedals are better then two..

You'd think they would all be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fact that coolerworx and I worked on it - using my car to mock up - I think is a fair indication. In the end, we couldn't get it right. I gave up after pulling my bar off twice and fitted the growler. So unless they did some more work I stand by that it won't fit - properly. Hope it fits for you mate. Cheers, Bomber.
