1. just got one (finally :rolleyes but it hasn't got the screw/threaded part on it for the pipe that connects onto the front of it, its got a plastic connector/clip on clip off thing that looks a bit worse for wear
were would i get that?
2. where's good to get the gaskets for the TB, egr and the lower inlet to box one?
3. will there be any benefits or even any point in having the throttle body extension bracket that came with it?
4. whats the plate with two torque bolts in the back of a lower inlet for? will i need that?
thanks in advance chaps

could get most parts an fittings from any good motor factors, i would personaly go to vauxhall for the gaskets , i never used the bracket on my mates powerbox didnt notice the difference realy, im not sure what the to torque bolts would be for maybe the egr if wanted to keep it

its about 10mm thick and very well made, i thought the egr plate was the one on the side with the 3 10mm head bolts in?

nah the one your thinkin of is a plate that blocks off a breather hole thingy that lets air in after the throttle body, that piece you got there is an egr blank. I got confused over this when i fitted mine too

That TB blanking plate, is it a good thickness? Otherwise your want to blank the EGR, might leak otherwise.
Gaskets, Motorfactors if they are good quality. Vaux ones are about £8 each.
