Desperately need a pipe that goes from the engine to the air filter on a 90 MG metro turbo, mine was split to hell, and trying to repair it the metal wiring inside has all gone to pot and its now worse! Wont fit now at all and beyond repair, as the holes have got bigger!

If anyone has one, and can post it asap i would really appreciate it, let me know how much you want for it and ill get the money sent off asap. I dont like running it arround with no air filter so im going to not use it, back to the buses!!!

Dont really want an aftermarket one unless i have to, an original mg one is best to keep the originality of the car as much as i can!

Thankyou very much

james

Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

Just get some from avonbar/minispeed, its the same stuff just a silver.

I got the stuff from minispeed and it worked fine, was cheaper than avonbar. ONly thing is that even new stuff rubs through easily. NOt good when its going straight to your turbo!

Merlin motorsport at castle combe sell the stuff, it is far better than the rover crap that just wears through and collapses when the boost comes in.there stuff is a reddy/orange colour i well recomend it.

Melrin are on the web and you can mail a catalogue from them online for free...

got their catalogue! Pretty good range!

Had to temporaryaliy buy a Halfrauds one, pointless really as the diff cracked 10 mins up the road! Think im gonna splash out on some really smart looking silocone ones (red if i can) for the mini install with a top snorkel now it doesnt have to remain standard!

Why on earth would you want to have the filter behind the headlight?
It'll just get clogged up of mud and grit.
