well an hr job turned into 3-4 hours of stress n chain smoking

changes needed to be made due to sensors being lose n air escapin n causin emissions problems
only i used bits i had already bought before getting car bak n guessed measurements on silicone hoses

didnt go completely how i wanted n does need to be changed again once a few ordered parts arrive
Oh and oil catch tank fitted
so heres some pics of todays work

Much tidier Gav; well worth the effort.(y)

It looks like turning the coil pack through 90 degrees has allowed you to mount it a bit lower down and stopped the rubbing on the bonnet.
 
Looks good Gav, have you connected the cold feed through the wing to your filter mate? or have you fitted a proper new cold feed pipe there?
 
Thanks for both comments
The before pic was old one due to forgettin before startin lol
so was the old standard coilpack whereas now it has the ST220 one which is smaller,neater n does stop the horrid bonnet rub i did have.
ATM Add due to things not goin how planned in my head (parts not fitting, but new orderd to change again lol)
its jus sat into the standard air intake but will be changed to a new cold feed route soon if i can find a decent way............ Any suggestions?

Also after lookin at this Pic i noticed u cant really see the blue oil catch tank and ordered blue zip ties for a tidier look :LOL:
 
I am not sure Gav, i would shorten the silicone elbow between the TB and MAF, then run the cold feed through the wing like i did and it will fit on the end of the filter...

No worries and congrats on the little one. (y)
I've got your A pillar trims here when you're ready.
 
Gav, i have just noticed mate, you have shoved the elbow inside the MAF and not round it? this will guarantee you a air leak and cause bad running mate... you need to stretch that over the MAF and jubilee clip it on mate
 
yeh ive ordered a new one, that was the big problem that caused havoc :censored:
mustang throttle body it 75mm n i didnt think (without car at time) that the MAF would be bigger than that.

I almost launched the elbow and the MAF as ther was no way they were going to fit :oops::oops::cautious::oops:(n)
Car isnt being driven ATM n will be sorted before being used :angel:
 
That's cool, and yes the MAF is 76mm diameter, so you will need a 76mm elbow and that will fit both ends, slightly shorter in order to connect the cold feed to the filter.. (y)
