Alright guys. I've been having problems with my corsa. When I turn the iginition on it revs right up which I believe is due to an air leak. I've taken the inlet back off today and noticed that I have a bolt missing where the throttle body is connected to the inlet. So its only being held on by three bolts which in my mind could be the cause of the leak.

The hole in question. Sorry for the very crap photo. Its the front one believe the throttle cable



Basically I haven't got a clue what how I'm meant to bolt it down there I've read Warren's guide and the VX performance inlet is different to the Mantzel as you can't screw it in from behind like you do on those.

I've tried using threaded bar but I just can't see how to do it :cries:

Anyone who's fitted one these before, what did you do for this bolt hole? Its driving me up the fucking pole!

Cheers

you should have 3 bolt holes with no thread and one with, i'd just put anouther bolt in there with lock tight mate, and check the lower inlet for the missing bolt
