Will be top pipe, either against the alty pully, or the fuel filter...

Mike pictures sent, also see note on sumpguard GB thread. Picture 3 shows latest cut out to reduce lateral pressure on IC pipework, just cut out a small V section and filed it round

also today Dereks top pipe was rubbing on his fan belt pully make sure you tie the top pipe clear off this, I'll let him tell you how much he paid for two cable ties.

I went rooting around for the rattle today and found that it was the airbox that was resonating. There's a strange pin-like metal support that goes into a rubber mounting at the rear of the airbox, however, there was a bit of play = hence the resonance. Fixed that with a bit of cardboard!

No rattles now... but I do have a leaf in the ventilation fan

Thanks for the pics. Hits that bookmark button again

cheers for the pictures

Will have another go over the next week.

Took it out for a test drive and wow what a difference! Even SWSBO noticed it!! Only problem is I've ripped the plastic sump guard out of it's mounts during a *cough* high speed run

I can confirm it is now quicker too

How many have fitted their FMIC from the GB.
Tried and tested, results are ace and a lot less soot.

I have seen NO soot from mine yet (not remapped yet though) - worst I have seen is some "smoke" at night which slightly clouds a bit in the headlights of a car following me.

Waiting to see how much it smokes soon.

Sorry, to avoid confusion I should say my FMIC isn't the forge one

Fianlly gave up looking and ordered a new VRS last week - Black Magic with cruise, heated seats and ESP. First job is intercooler and intake on, then a trip to REVO me thinks. How long did people run in their cars before opening them up properly? Some people say TDis need a gentle run in, others say the opposite.
