Good stuff, I got the same boost hoses last week. I found mine were a bit too long tho, going to have to trim them to get them to fit. Are yours OK? The worst bit on mine was the one going to the throttle body, because it's too long it causes the bend down at the bottom near the battery to compress. I notice you seem to have a different MAP sensor tube though, maybe that fits it better.

Couple of quick questions - did you have to move the battery at all to get that MAP sensor tube fitted? Also, can't remember if I asked this before - have you got a link to wherever you got your Apexi filter?

Engine bay looks good :)

hi mate i trimed about 20mm off the end of the hose think i could of cut abit more off tho may do it at some point as it has got abit of a bend in

the map sensor tube is a forge one mate changed it to tht as standard one split did have to cut the battery tray to get it in.

got the apexi off ebay mate might change to the bmc cone at some point

Matt, as Richard (RDS) has said, this is coming along really nicely now.

Loving this bay and what you've done/are doing with it. Keep it up mate, great effort and nice to see another modder carrying on through the winter.

Proper petrolhead. Fitted my new MAF in -2 last night lol, had to be done :)

Cool, cheers for that. I'll start at maybe 25 or 30mm and see how that fits.

If you do go for the BMC cone then let me know, I may be able to "dispose of it responsibly" for you ;)
