Fitted manifold - Saxperience

fossie · 21st July 2008, 22:22

Well fitted an Ashley manifold today (courtesy of Leeroy) and removed the EGR valve........

Car seems to be alot smoother lower down and pulls all the way, bloody loud coupled with the exhaust as well..........

Thanks to Leeroy for holding the bonnet up

Anyone know an easy way of disconnecting the pump (fuse etc) from the EGR valve rather then getting to it from inside the wing.........stills runs when the car is turned and its like a fucking leaf blower.....

Was there a noticeable difference to Pick up with the mani fitted?

fossie · 22nd July 2008, 21:20

Car feels better low down, feels like it as more pull.......

So yes...............im glad i did it tbh.............
Having not had an aftermarket manifold before i can certainly say it was worth it

there is a plug under the arch liner just d/c it mate.

bring it here tomorrow al take the pump off for you if you want.

Theres a plug, then 3 bolts hold it on
