Looks great

Can you post a pic of how your HID globe is fitted as the kit i got doesnt allow the globe to twist in so i need to retrofit it somehow

you cant really see from the picture. what i did was cut the metal bulb holder. so that i could put the bulb into the bulb holder and use that to secure it down. and then cut the back of the rubber to size that is meant to hold the light in. sorry that sounds a bit confusing

how does the TIP fit?
did you had alot of problems to get it in the richt place?
i see it is connected to youre stock airfilterbox, did you have to cut in the TIp or something?

i ask this because my airfilter positioning is alot diffrent after installing the TIP.

nice car btw, look sverry good, i like youre upgrades also, what power does it run? :mrgreen: :wink:

Hi, the TIP fitted fine, i didnt have to cut it at all. i have heard some people have had to to make it fit :s

It was Difficult to do though, because of the small space u have under the car to push it onto the turbo. also it has to squeeze past some black pipes that dont move very much. i think in the end i had to remove a part near the engine block so it could fit in easier.

If it is pushing the air filter its probably a good idea to cut a few mm's off of it.

unfortunately i don't know what power its running but the remap states 210bhp and 240 tq so a little more than that i would have thought :D

nice results!

my TIP fits fine but it tends to push my airfilter on to my ECU, i now have strapped it in place with colson straps.
this is a temporary fix, the airfilter is comming out higher now so my K&N support is to short, i have to make it longer.
guess when this is done, it will fit fine. :wink:
the job itself was quit a pain, i diddn't remove anything but i did make sure it was secured.
it is only rubbing against the black pipe and to the "pot" of the turbo.
i don't think it is possible to fit it without rubbing into something... :?

you did a standard remap on youre car or was it a custom tune??
with only TIP and airfilter this is a good result :wink:

are you using a cone filter then? mine is just a k and n panel filter in the original box.
the remap is a standard revo technik stage 1. which is supposed to give the results stated, i will just have to wait and see :)
