what you stuck with?

hardest part for me was ether removing the big black plastic pipe from the back or cutting the loom to shift the connectors for the throttle body but that's cos i HATE wiring...

also you need to drill the threads out the throttle body, otherwise its fairly striate forward

I didn't either. But getting the pipe off was a bitch.

some boxes dont have all 3, and a lot of people set them up different
1 is the brake servo (with the nut)
2 needs two plastic T pieces, cant remember the name of the bits they go too, but it'll be obveous when your fitting it
3 (little one) goes back to the fuel rail

i bought a metre roll of 5 or 6mm iirc and a bit of 3mm, inner diameter silicone hose and the 2 T pieces off ebay for petty £s

just have a look through some of people project to see how they have set them up as some people dont have it going to the breather on the cam cover and some do etc...



heres a pic of the bits i gathered. didnt really need the 3mm hose but used it anyway...



edit - note the home-made cerial box gaskets that are still doing what they should
