Hi Guys,

I have recently purchased a 1330 turbo lump and need a few parts before i can get it fitted and i ned to know a few things if you dont mind helping a newb..

1) the return fuel pipe i run to the mpi tank has to be 8mm yes?
do i have to use the solid type or is braided hose ok ? like this..

Also any idea what sort of length i will need ?

2) will this dimension intercooler fit upfront do you think ?
Length is 380mm, Height is 215mm to the top of the inlet/outlet, Depth is 70mm. Inlet and outlet are both approx 55mm.

And also any ideas on the type of bends and length of intercooler hosing i am going to need to get me started ?

3) when i get the mpi tank are there any mods i will need to do before fitting it ? as i have read some stuff about vapour hoses etc on injection tanks ?

Any help greatfuly recieved.
All the best.

The return fuel line at 8mm will be fine, solid or braided whatever you prefer.

Intercoolers are an awkward thing to get in make no mistake. There is no other way of doing it apart from getting the engine in and seeing what little space you have left. Bends and hoses is a matter of trial and error there is no hard and fast solution.
No mods needed to MPi tank, route the breather down through the floor as per a normal tank.

thanks for that dude

looks like ill just try and make up some piping with whatver then take that to the shop and get the piping to make the shape.

Cheers ...
