hi guys
well i am about to undertake this tomorrow, but on my quest i have come across this pipework conversation which looks far better than the ebay crap, what i dont understand is how and what pipe he is using between the round vacum value and where it meets the plug going into the intake man, could any one help, i believe he is using the old hose from the intake boot going to the icv?

cheers

cheers dan thanks mate

Chas
have checked all the part numbers mate and he is use ICV pipe work to complete works, i will show you the diagram in the morning mate and will try to pick up some pipework

Right
Chasmen and me fitted the m50 today and i can not for the life of me understand why all these guys who have done this make the pipe work run so complicated

, when its so easy, the only problem i had was trying to locate the T section in which in the end i used 22mm copper, note if you want to use the 325 throttle body you will need to make a gasket from ali and use both of the rubber gaskets to seal the body, i found this out as mine is leaking bad and i will change it to the m50 one tomorrow, here's a picture of the completed pipe work and i will do a how to do maybe tomorrow as i need to complete and check to few things as i have air leaks
