After our trip to AMD for the Brisky shoot out it would seem I was down on power. Today I took off the inlet manifold to check the breather pipes beneath. Once manifold was removed it was clear to see the offending breather pipe which had split along it's length. Hard to see from the pic below.

Now replaced with new pipe all is good. Not flat at the top end yippee Boost not escaping anymore. I did however snap the dipstick tube on re assembly. So now need to replace that.

Nice one Pete, it still pulled well on the dyno. Will be good to see what it makes for round 2

MPG wise we got average 37 on the way to Lincolnshire for the Brisky National meet. Now after replacing split breather pipes.

Operation Dipstick !

After snapping my dipstick tube my kind wife ran me to Eurocarparts to purchase a new one.

It was a whole £5.40 so not too bad. And a 10 min job to replace. First remove plastic cover.

Then undo two nuts and pull SAI hose out of the way. Then remove two bolts holding metal plate to inlet manifold.

Then locate dipstick tube and firmly push down until it clicks into home position. Re-assemble stuff removed and job done.

Road trip today with Beryl's chief Pilot. We ventured to Bristol to visit Lloyd55vrs. And to finally get my boot build installed. It sounds amazing the JL audio 8 inch subs certainly have some punch.

Still need to order another Alpine PDX amp and relocate the amps. But I'm amazed at the sound and Lloyds skills. He's a legend !

Glad You like it matey

Those lil 8w3s are very surprising lil beasties

Looks a very nice install.

Some tidying up today. Amps and wires out of sight.

Awesomeness

Brilliant.

Very tidy top work on the build Lloyd looks OEM

Lloyd55vrs built them for me. A one off special he has vowed never to repeat.

Hehe

Lol, fair enough I best get some practice with the jigsaw then.

Its not a nasty thing

It was just the time that went into it dude, it adds up

Not that i dont mind helping folk

The main thing is getting the boxes to fit behind as there isnt tooo much room

Ive got lots of pics of the build

From styrofoam templates to fibreglassed moulded yummy

So last trip to AmD saw 211 BHP and 250 Torques on the rollers. Now with under inlet breather pipes renewed 230 BHP and 270 torques. Happy.

Car looked great today Pete.

Think you've got it spot on now.
