jimmixr Donating Members 686 Member For: 14y 5m 14d Posted 12/05/12 04:19 AM Share Posted 12/05/12 04:19 AM Its a one piece unit.. no seperate elbow which is all good.A. the finish.. crinckle black.. looks cheapB. Its not mandrel bent at the elbow obviously because of the tight angle it has to turn to go into the throtle body. So its two pieces welded together. Where they meet it abit of a mis-match so you can see the join. (even worse when you look inside)C. Where theyve drilled and added the pipe dor the blow off valve it protruded a fair way in.. and its all burred and rough.Again.. basically my only gripe. The other two metal pipes are well enough hidden so dont really come into the equationBit when you put it next to Plaz's and the like.. it doesnt compare.Im surprised no ones shot me down yet. Which I sort of glad.. reason being I was just like everyone else on here just trying to get their monies worth I guess.No expert..and no affiliation to any particuliar tuner... so direction comes from what we can learn.Any feedback, be it positive or negative is a bonus..When it gets nasty it just becomes futile and we end up shutting our mouths in fear of being biased or just simply "uneducated"Id post pics FORD FREAK but Im a bit of a dumby when it comes to that. . . See what I can do..Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevanford Member 268 Member For: 13y 1d Posted 22/05/12 02:34 AM Share Posted 22/05/12 02:34 AM Funnily enough, I went to plazmaman yesterday to get some prices for parts. I was told that the 1000hp was not really needed unless you wanted to go past 420rwkw. I then went with the 800hp kit and got a few extra bits and pieces. Great service from the guys and couldn't be happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When bending it the right way, it's close to snapping. I can't get the cooler the last 1/2 inch over to the passengers side. The way to do it properly would be to de-gas, remove the pipes and get them remade. Worth the muck around or live with it being out 1/2"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better do it pronto before the carbon tax kicks in. Refrigerant is going through the roof!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get it within 1/4 " I'll assume the car is offset 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
