Flipped my IC and made a in guard pod\MAF! Everything went smooth except for getting the bumper back on. No matter how much shaving of the front reo, it still were a tight fit! Also fitted the Apexi boost control kit, which doesn`t boost :) It get`s to 0.4bar and stops there! I`ve switched the ports on the solenoid, but it`s the same. Probably the wiring, hooked it up to the original wiring, but that may not be correct? Someone probably knows :)

I`ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Nice :D

Why is your engine bay so.... err, white?
Is that because of the salt put on the roads in winter?

tbear: Well, it`s difficult to say, since it only boost 0.4bar, going from 1.1 before I did the job. But it feels like it comes on a bit earlier on boost!

Daveyboy: Now who is that someone? :D

tHe gUt: I know, but i didn`t see the point of buying a new one, and having that in the engine bay getting dirty. New filter is first on the list :)
