Welcome to the club.

Take the bus home after work then you can just go from there. Sorted.

Looks really nice. I would love to lower mine, but the skirts/lip just would not allow it. not if I wanted to drive it anyway.

The car is in the window reflection, the zed was also mentioned in the original thread.

Missed it.

November - I took the missus back to Wales after enjoying the Wales meet in May. Love the roads there. And a couple from September Sam McGoo.

Good to here. Mine has only done 19k but I've the oils on their way as we speak from Alex. I thought I should do it anyway given they're 6 years old.

I was just trying to find it.

Is it warrenty work r you having to pay for this ? It sound scarely expensive !

Someone on here has a set fitted. There is a post somewhere with pics and opinions. A little busy for my liking, but not the worst thing I've ever seen.

Hello and welcome to the club. What's up with the motor that requires a new ecu?

Welcome to the club Kevin.

No adaptor problems at all, I although used the adaptor from the sandwich plate that was there, so not sure if any of the 4 adaptors that was sent with the plate where the same as the one there, had a nice tight seal between engine block and adaptor and then to the sandwich plate for the oil cooler to the filter. it did need some cleaning up though, with the teflon tape it's not leaking anyway and feels solid once there. I'm probably going to redo the whole thing there once I get my head around how to get the feed and return pipe for the oil cooler not to hit the redistribution for the oil to the turbos and the pressure sensor. Ah ok, if you used the original adaptor that would explain why you had no problems fitting. I will e-mail them and let them know so they can alter it (whether or not they do is a different matter). Mine seems fine now its fitted, i.e no leaks but I will be keeping a close eye on it for a while. Just a note, I fitted the supplied 1/8th blanks to the unused ports (with PTFE tape) while it was off the car and done them reasonably tight. I checked them again once fitted and with the engine warm. Due to heat expansion they had become quite loose and needed a further half a turn or so tighten them (but not too tight). So might be worth a check of your when warm, although looking at your pictures, you seem to have them well in there!

Further info on the one I linked above from ebay - Having a closer look when fitting, quality isn't brilliant, although you wouldn't expect it to be for £20. It had a lot of burrs on it that needed a quick tickle with a file. Also, the the thread adaptor I was sent that fitted the Zed was too long, so when fully screwed in it didn't squeeze the sandwich plate against the engine. I had already dropped the oil out of the car so decided to alter it myself with the angle grinder to get back on the road rather than wait for another adaptor. It could of just been a one off that I was sent the wrong adaptor, but thought I should mention it. Andlid - Looking at your build thread it looks like you used the one I linked. Did you have any adaptor problems when fitting?

Welcome to the club.

Your certainly being very thorough Chris

Welcome to the club.

Welcome to the club.

Yep, I nearly made a distribution block last week but when I saw a sandwich plate for 20 quid I couldn't be bothered. All you need is a block of ally say 1" x 2" or a 2" length of 1" round bar drill through the middle of it with 11/32" drill and tap out both ends 1/8 npt... Put a male/male 1/8 npt fitting in one end and fit it to the car where the stock pressure sender goes and put the stock pressure sender in the other end. Then with the rest of it you can drill and tap what ever size fittings you want for your other sensors / oil feed pipes. Jobs a good'n. Just make sure you have your turbo oil feed line after the pressure sensor so you get flow across it.

Ah, I thought it was a pressure sensor. As Chris said if its a temp sensor the step adaptor won't work very well. Your best bet would be to drill it out and tap it.

Mine doesn't hit the floor. The braiding stays intact but the thin inner pipe cracked. They were 6 years old though. I think the problem with our set up is that the exhaust only has support at the back box, then when you decat and remove the stock cat bracket too, there is a lot of stress on the flexi joints through weight and twisting. It could do with a bracket on the mid pipes really. I'm sure the fact we are boosted makes a difference as well as the extra heat and pressure would cause a blow much sooner. I definitely wouldn't take the flexi pipe out and put in a solid pipe as the stress then goes to the exhaust manifold bolts and gaskets and you defiantly don't want a leak there as it would be a nightmare find and fix. I'm happy to change them every few years, it's not the end of the world.
