buy just screwing in and out, do you want to buy it? £25 to your door, which will include the vac hose that you otherwise need to buy
 nah man i have one, i was just wondering if there was any special way of setting it up because obviously you can have it screwed in more or less

this weekends wasted effort
Damn thing hits the bulkhead, and no clearance - couldn't tighten the throttle body up! have an air gap and just reved up when you turn the key
And you need at least 10mm cleance for engine movement, and there was none even if the throttle body was attacted
was a really nice job done of the powerbox, shame it dont fit!
had to cut the intake pipe to remove, but luckerly i had a c16xe one at home to fit!!!
and the car handles like a bout without the front strut brace on!

Weekends clean up! jet washed all the arches, filled in stone chips in wheels and re laquered them, repainted drums and a few other bits too
and fitted camber adjuster bolts too
only downside of cleaning it noticed the the front shock is leaking
and new powerbox is in the post and second SRI ecu in post too, hopefully the old one was faulty
