Can the FPR takes offs be replaced with a smaller bore connection.

Thge only reason i ask is that the boost connection from the plenum still seems to be 8mm ish when the take off on the Hywel plenum seems to be 4mm.

Could you use something like this? Use a little bit of 4mm hose, one of these and then the 8mm. http://www.advancedfluidsolutions.co.uk/8m...ctor-2245-p.asp

Been looking at them but also need a feed to boost controller so a T would be required.

Was just wondering if it could be changed, less things to go wrong or blow off.

You could use this http://www.advancedfluidsolutions.co.uk/8m...-bar-2302-p.asp

Then the above reducer at the end of the line?

if you can grip them hard enough you can pull the brass/copper fittings out the ally fpr ( what ever there made of)
cutting them off and drilling them out is another option,
replace with something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BSP-TAPER-THREAD...=item5d3365081e

Managed to remove 2 of the fittings and demolish the other 2 so they have been drilled out.

All fittings have been tapped to 1/8 bsp and hose tails ordered.

Who ever said building a turbo is easy need shooting. lol
