Standard one is plastic and isnt a good fit if it will fit at all.

Scrappy job or a proper custom jobbie.

thats it mate

2nd hand jobby

think the vacuum hose joiner bit (if your on about the bit that clip/screws onto the front of the box) is different, its a clip on type so im going to remove the threaded type from my standard inlet and put that on

yeah mine had the big one at the top with the union nut on it, then a t piece and a single bit if you get me. i connected the little pipe off the rocker cover in with the Manifold pressure sensor with a t piece as well cuz it seemed to run better
