[AliC]

not too sure yet m8, i no it doesnt look as good but it is for the better! Are you going to wrap your's?

[smiith]

mine isnt wrapped, but my gasket was fine off my old one, so it was ok, but mines a phase one, so my lamba sensor actually reached. but if yours is a phase 2, i hear you need to extend the sensor

[Anders0n]

Yup, got all the stuff here to wrap it, 30 odd quid off ebay.

See here for fitting etc...

[FinchysSaxo]

[Berg]

..second that, looking to get me a Raceland mani within the next few weeks, and stick it on with a sports cat and then get a cat-back built on from my local Autowise... In two minds whether to heat wrap it or not. :)

[FinchysSaxo]

if i was putting mine in again i would definetly heat wrap it, its well worth it unless you want see the cool purple colours on the pipes and a very hot engine bay lol

[AliC]

Yea think I might just heat wrap it, better than not having it wrapped I suppose. Cheers m8 cos i still havent got round to buying a sleeve so if you can show me what you have should save money. By the way has you had any problems with you engine management light?

[pug205gti87]

how do you apply the heatwrap?

i have been playing golf all day so will try take some pics shortly...if the light is ok with a torch lol.

na no problems at all, my m8 has a falut code reader and plugged it in and the only problem is it miss fires at v high revs in 1 of the cylinders (fink that was wat it was, been a while) but ye no problem to do with the new manifold at all, the sleeve does a awesome job

[Predator_R32]

heat wrap is quite simple to apply, just use some stainless steel ties and pull it tight, heres mine wrapped :y:

just be warned it makes you itch like hell, you can also buy some spray to fully cure the wrapping process but tbh the wrap will do just as good of a job :Y:

[FinchysSaxo]

bet you still havent got it on pred lol

[Predator_R32]

bet you still havent got it on pred lol

lol well not likely :p

[FinchysSaxo]

haha whats taking you so long to put it on?? it looks v nice all heat wrapped up. is it a supersprint?

[AliC]

Ive been waiting over two weeks now and i still dont have mine fitted lol! Well finch get that photo of the sleeve just so i no wat im working with! Can you feel it when it miss fires? Is there not a problem with your car then if it miss fires?

[FinchysSaxo]

will take pictures after work m8. na i cant feel it do it but i mean its when its v close to the red line and you let off the accelerator the light flashes, so not really as its only when i really push the car, which i dont do that much...

[AliC]

lol sure you dont! As long as its not a big problem then, cheers m8!

[sim69er]

if you are fitting it yourself just make sure you do up the lower nuts up first as its very awkward to reach some of them

[Predator_R32]

haha whats taking you so long to put it on?? it looks v nice all heat wrapped up. is it a supersprint?

just havent got the time at the moment i get one day off a week if im lucky plus the garage has loads of shit in it, and bugger doing it outside its too cold lol

yeah its a supersprint :y:

[AliC]

Nice one, Im hoping to get mine fitted this week?? Keep it posted pred if and when you do get it fitted?!
