Parallel might be a good idea, that way we can take what we learn from one and apply it to the other. I vote we do yours first in case something breaks :twisted:

Oh eurggh... I've researched, studied and hoarded for this upgrade.

Time to bite the bullet and JFDI.

The key ingredient is a 3 port solenoid, and a cutting edge retune...
Both of which are arriving soon ;)

Massive thanks to BBB for the lend of his skills, his driveway, and hours of his time today helping me install (and doing most of the work) my new turbo inlet.

As suspected the factory inlet was my problem. This pic should explain why...

From the marks on the pipe it looks like it was originally installed correctly, but at some stage it's been taken off and reinstalled incorrectly. I don't remember ever taking it off so take from that what you will.

Logging will reveal just how ready your lib will be for the forthcoming tune. :)
We hammered the engine bay with soapy water and carby cleaner: no more inlet leaks!
