Cheers mate :Laugh
I added on the greddy hard pipe kit and took the rest off and polished all up myself...took longer than i expected but was worth it. I would like to do the altenator but don\'t have enough time just now to sit and polish it all but i will get round to it.
Next job is to remove the air pump and get the battery moved to someplace else, anyone know if behind the passenger seat or in the boot gives any difference??
Hopefully get it done in a couple of weeks .:chat

Cheers mate,
The pipes came from clive at Shy Auto. Its the Greddy hard pipe kit.
The pipe that comes from the turbos to the intercooler was the one that was on the car which i just polished up myself.

Did you do the altenator yourself or buy it polished??

nice engine, do the pipes that come of the airfilters come as an induction kit with them or are they part of the greddy hard pipe kit?

Nah mate it was the standard pipe that was on the car...i don\'t know if they changed them from plastic to metal for the \'99 spec.
The Greddy pipe should fit i would have thought unless you have changed anything else?
