Woodie1991 52 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Ok so couple of updates made the down pipe up . pretty much done tacked it up where I wanted sent it off to be fully welded going to heat rap it tomorrow but really happy how it turned out with limited space. Also removed the washer bottle going to relocate it in the back with made room for the filter and maf, just bolted the header tank in there to check clearance. looking abit sad.

Woodie1991 52 Posted May 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Got some more work done on the van all the intercooler pipes were welded up then powder coated in wrinkle black and painted the intercooler at work. Back on. Then refitted all the pipes looks a lot better in black and with out the hose connectors. Before. After. also managed to make my screamer pipe turned out pretty good. Got the front end built back up. So even tho it wasn't mapped and it only had the down pipe on we decided to try and start it more so to make sure the engines turned over properly and we had spark and fuel. All I can say it defently needs mapping.still got a water lines to do on the turbo, finish the exhaust and of course mapping but it's not far off now. c00k, D11PS, daveyboy and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites
