lol where can i get the little sods from?? thanks mate im abit of a rex noob!! lol

I got mine off Bob aka-ro284 (thanks again bob!) as he had some spare, only 4 unfortunately, i still need a 5th one. I believe there\'s a guy on ebay in the USA called rx7guru, he sells 5 of em for about $20 but last time i checked he was all out. With any luck someone on here will be able to sort you out, if not do a search for "viton check valves" HTH

P.S Thanks everyone for the nice comments, much appreciated!

RedRummy... I hope to never have to do this job again, once was enough lol

Well done Locki glad it\'s sorted, when i bought a few sets of Viton valves from the guy in the states i understood they were in sets of 4, not 5!
( perhaps a less important valve is the one to the \'catch tank\' ) but after seeing your problem with the blown valve in your first pic i realised that i hadn\'t changed that one to pressure chamber on mine, so i fitted one to that line as well, now i\'m sure my boost is higher, up to one bar on the second turbo! it may be related to other work iv\'e done, but to make sure i\'m going to fit an original back in and see if the boost gauge shows o.8. i\'m worried boost may be too high, What year is your FD? only i notice you have got an Efini Y pipe on there (99 spec). i fitted one on mine with Hard Pipes and it is a very good mod for the twins!
Cheers Bob

I have an Efini Y-pipe? lol i didn\'t even realise:Hammer. I thought it was a standard one. Shows how much i still have yet to learn. Anyway, my car\'s a 1995 model. Starting to get a little concerned now as the guy i bought it off was a trader and he had no documents with it etc and didn\'t know what had been done to it. All i knew was that it passed the main checks required when buying an FD and it had low mileage so I just went for it. Starting to wonder now what has actually been done to it :3Confused

p.s about the check valves, you are right m8, 4 not 5. my mistake

No mate sorry it\'s not Efini Y i was fooled by the rag! and the bolt coming up from the UIM, :Hammer
