So I fitted lexmul last week, been driving normally. I noticed some gains, but not as much as was execting checked coolant earlier, and noticed a hiss with engin running.
After further inspection, I noticed was coming from one of conecton on inlet (pictured) however this is abit more confusing as quite aloit of hoses/vacumms were rmeoved before fitting engine (over a year ago) and always has run great!

There should be a small plastic pipe coming from the brake vacuum line IIRC, and that is joined to the outlet you've pictured by a 'u' shaped rubber pipe.

to the Lexmaul

As suspected easy fix then Just got to wait for dad to bring some tubing home from work, seeing as I can't leave the house/driveway!

Thanks all, ill update when done. Should I see an increase in power? the valve on inlet nearly sucked my finger in!!
