That's just what I was thinking.

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

That hose is the Turbo air pipe from Avonbar isn't it.

im using the same pipe as an intake pipe

and it seem impossible to get a good seal even for somthing like an intake but im pretty sure youll get boost leaks if used for a boost pipe.

if im wrong let me know how youve sealed it and i can do the same on my intake

I cant see that Air pipe taking the pressure to be honest ,,,

would be good if it could would make fittin my intercoooler a doddle !!!


I would also be very inetrested to know if it works as well

Cant use a facet fuel pump either, it wont do the business. Thats if your using the one thats on the bulkhead, its hard to tell.

Also dont think the carbs plumbed in correctly. The balance pipe doesnt appear to be connected up.



Looking good though, keep it up

well guys im new to this turbo larke so wat is the balance pipe and ware does it conect from and to. cheers guys

check out carb help in the help needed section, there's a good labelled diagram showing you what wants to go where

did i not tel you about that pump ages ago its mounted in the wrong place and isnt man enough, looks good tho!

also i really dont like where your earth strap connects (personally i like to have it connected to the bulkhead somewhere, due to the currents that flow.)
