Iv just nipped to halfrauds before it closed and got myself a 25mm bung and some silicone to seal it

Will probably get it done tomorrow, shouldn't take long

post up how you get on !

All sorted, took about 30 mins

Only thing that was a bit tricky was getting the wiper arm off the spline bit, other than that its plain sailing.

Oh and you can't cable tie the pipe like that guide says, the 9N3 is like hard moulded plastic so wont happily bend over to create a "kink"

I just disconnected the wiper motor from the pipe via the small white plastic clip and then done the same with the identicle clip in the engine bay underneeth the airbox just before the pipe goes through the bulkhead.

Then I stuck a small plastic rubber out of a pencil in the end and taped it up as best I could, seems to work pretty well.

Any problems just ask and I will be happy to assist!

Finished Result:





Is the pump for the front and rear jets the same or different? How do I stop the pump from running if I accidently knocked the rear washer jet on?

i beleive its different pumps just pull the wire off or pull the hose off at least u wont soak your boot that way

I personally would have gone for the glass version which infact I have done already.
These rubber ones can easily be poked.........

I used a bit of diy silicon to block the washer tube lol Not the exact solution but still better incase I pushed the stack the boot wont get flooded

Where can you get the glass versions from mate?

I have disconnected my pipe in the engine bay so it will just fall out to the floor if it leaks accidentally

nice mate ill have to have a go myself at some point and i believe venom motorsport do them on there website. quite expensive for what it is..

was it a 25mm blank from halfords? and did you use an adhesive to stick it in place?

Yeah they do, just had a quick browse of their site, £14 thouggh!

25mm one from halfords it is yeah, nice tight fit and then used some clear silicone to seal the lip and the inside

Get a glass one, they look so much better. You would have to find out where to get them for a better price though

Nope just an open cone mate

007p is pretty sweet, you can really feel the car holding a stronger boost over the standard one, sounds strange I know but it does trust me! I think I have the wrong coloured spring in it at the moment though to be honest, need the next one up from Forge

Pics as requested:







Filter needs a clean, had the K&N cleaning kit for ages just not got round to doing it yet

EDIT:: With regards to your "cone filter" post, you will definetly hear the dump valve "dump" with a cone filter, open up the top half of your airbox and give it a rev, it will sound similar to that only a bit louder and more erm.. "wooshy"

Nice one lad ... think ill be getting one some time soon u have the same 007p valve as me with the awesome logo

just took ma dad for a boot after fitting it n hes annoyed that mines faster than his haha
