Hmmm I think theres a bit missing ......

Was thinking its time to clean the pop charger so was having a trawl for cleaner and gauze oil when I noticed a guide on fitting a JWT charger which I have. Only problem and this may explain why mine is a bit quiet is the the guide mentions fitting the side of the heat plate onto the air rubber air duct. Not a external snorkel but just a bit of rubber that sort of plugs the hole. Erk! Says I I don't seem to have one of these which may explain the lack of sound. Looking at the JWT kit this bit is not part of it so a presuming its an OEM part of the panel filter. Before anyone asks yes it was like this when I bought the car and it's also been through Abbey for Uprev so presumed all was well

 

So question is

 

Is the duct crucial to the pop charger efficient as I reckon it is as the air is not channeled

 

2. can I get a spare ?

 

3. has anyone got one for a DE kicking around. ?

 

Thanks

I think I know what you mean as I screwed mine into the little plastic snorkel, which was a complete bitch to do. Had no fingers left afterwards lol So your heat shield has been sort of loose then? Think it does channel the air a little bit, but don't see why it would make it louder....unless I have got the wrong end of the stick?

So you're missing the big black plastic bit on the LHS from here? Where the screw goes into?

 

I wouldn't worry too much about it, but you can probably pick one up for a few quid from a breaker.

I have the economy version !

 

Thats the bonnet brace BTW looks like there's something going through the hole !
