mylesmcg Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 how long does it take to fit the pop charge?. i got mine this morning and i have 40mins to fit it at lunch time as i won't have time tonight and i'm inpatient lol. will 40mins be long enough? Quote
IanS16 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 I think you should be able to do it in 40 mins if you read up on a guide first Quote
Chris`I Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Its possible in 40 mins, but I would say allow an hour if its your first time. You dont want to rush, break something and find you cant get the car home. Wait til you get home, do it properly, and then enjoy the noise Quote
dcash5 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 I would say no purely because if you set yourself a time limit things will go wrong as you rush it. Clips break, bolts stick etc or you get the maf idling problem that causes you to have to perform the ECU reset. I have learnt the hard way that things take as long as they take. Ive done a full set of suspension in 2.5 hours but similarly spend 4 hours trying to undo ONE bolt. Better to say give yourself a 2 hour window and in all honest yes it will probs take you 30/40mins but better to make sure everything is done in a relaxed manor. Quote
mylesmcg Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 i'm at work now and i'm going home at lunch time to fit it. i can always take my dads car if can't get it fitted but would rather take the zed and i've fitted them before and read the guide thoroughly before hand Quote

People work at different rates, and all it takes is one duff bolt or nutt to hold you up for hours as Dan said. Quote

But dont be unrealistic and rush, just take your time and if its done its done. We dont want a broken MAF or bracket or anything that will cost money to fix Quote
mylesmcg Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 ...We dont want a broken MAF or bracket or anything that will cost money to fix scared now incase i do mess it up lol Quote
mylesmcg Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 got it installed ok but screwing the heat shield to the air duct is very very tricky and annoying so not having enough time, much patience and a short temper i left the heat shield for now until i get more time. any tips on attaching the heat shield to the air duct?

You need a small screwdriver on an angled attach thingy to go on the end I ended up removing mine though Quote
