Just got this fitted last night, it took a while to get is squeezed in the gap behind the radiator and i had to bend a few pipes out of the way but it eventually squeezed in.

Next problem was adapting the downpipe as the new unit didnt come with a flange.
Then I had to call Samco as they dont stock a hose large enough for the inlet but we got one sorted in the end.
Anyway, its all sorted now and apart from the extra lag this thing makes the car sound like a fccuking jet engine <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Here's a picture of it as we unwrapped it before fitting
Clicky

Off to the rolling road next if i can get the bonnet shut <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I hope you have an uprated FMIC also, cause the heat generated by that will be somewhat more than the standard unit...Oh and a walbro would also be good in your situation <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

not sure why that would give you lag <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Once it's going, it's going. It aint gonna stall (unless you get a flock of Taz's favourite seagulls in it)
