Top effort mate, only thing I'd do if it were mine, would be to replace all that lairy yellow detail on the engine with black for a more oem look.

Just my 2p mind.

Good work. Kudos for doing it yourself

Thanks mate. Felt really proud of myself when she fired up!!!! Great feeling when you do it yourself and it works!!!

Good Job Krish

Thanks mate

Nice story Krish, I remember seeing your old car at Uni.

Here's a pic from our old cars together:
(I also have a new one now )

Greetings from Holland

Hello mate. How are you? Love that pic! I do miss my sonic shadow, mainly because the bodywork was so clean!!

What happened to your V6? Transplant??

Mate, my favourite bit is the black and yellow contrast!!! But each to their own

But each to their own

Absolutely!

Well done mate

Top write up Krish and a big slap on the back for having the ba11s to do it yourself.

Couldn't agree more about Kelvin (kayJay) he is an absolutely top bloke.

Great job with the swap, but that cc hosing is terrible, as you've already noticed. It is crap, certainly not to be used for this job.

Some 19mm Id rubber heater hose is what you really should use.
Not plasitc!

I would keep an eye on your hosing, as any heat in it, it kinks and bends!! Not good.

+1 agree with Jimgts here.

On my preevious CC set up it was installed using the same hosing

When it was removed to install my BMIC set up, the hose was kinked, part of the hosing had collapsed therefore impeding flow and was basically rubbish stuff to use for such an important modification

Id change it for the hosing Jim recommends, as on his old rev5 turbo, it never kinked and was more than up for the job
