A good design would incorperate covering the standard blow of valve like my "original" i made about 9 years ago...why have to fart about with bolts and plates over the popoff valve hole?

so dont buy those intercooler pipes?

I have already got my uprated dump valve welded and connected via a hose to the plenum, with all the old valve blocked off.

I thought you would just connect that pipe and connect your intercooler? Am i missing somthing?

I just got one of those pipes of ebay ...
It is made very well ; but you are right it does not block the old dump valve
JB Liquid weld I rekon is the way to go if you cant TIG !!

The only sad thing i have to say about the pipe is ; I am pretty ok at MIG welding and had I had known how simple it is to make ie
a Cut flat piece of steel, and a bit of exhaust pipe !!
I would have made one myslef !!

Dont get me wrong I am not knocking it ; its fine ; just if I had done some more research its the sort of thing I could make myself in 1/2 hour !!

DOH !

giallofly , NOT A GOOD DESIGN!

Well I thought I'd better explain why this "Not good design" has been made this way

simple really as some people use the old dump valve hole to for pressure measuring purposes or a handy intake point for your water injection. If one doesn't use it then do like I have and blocked off with a bolt and 2 washers, and it's also been fine for years.

is this love giallo/mw? *laughing*

about the intercooler piping at 40?/piece, I recon that it's a very good business .....
about the presure sensor, i think it should be readed after the restrictor ring and carb ( in the manifold)

MW, just think you might have mentioned the water injection thing on your ebay advert, you could put the injector there but would still be hassle blocking then tapping the correct thread for the injector nozzel(yes i have ran water injection) so why not just blank it off. Agreed, the design regards flow and angle for the intercooler piping is good.

Sorry but your "ordinal design" is just an opening for me to take the piss as that stuff was done years ago!
