The forums will be offline for maintenance on Friday 15th November at 10pm for up to an hour. Thank you for your patience.
I'm using the standard intercooler, so hopefuly wont be major stressy. Still, any tips would b welcome
The braket you are supplied with for the vacuum ball is a pain in the arse to fit, the pancake pipe is a ball ache to locate and fit and the only bracket that actually fitted on mine was the L-shaped pipe to gearbox mount.
I completely re-newed the intake system using allards/sfs stuff and out of all the pipe work i literally had to fabricate about 10 brackets and cut at least 1.5 feet off the pipes to make them fit and even then i had to revise the turbo outlet pipe and the pancake pipe mounting - if you make a mess of the pancake pipe fitting it will catch on either the ARB drop link, drive shaft, crank pully or wheel. Like i said though mate you can easily reap the rewards from your struggle.
I really can't complain about my experience with Allards.
He even sent me a EGR kit which I didn't ask/pay for
Welding looks pucka on the pipes, everything is in the box, with good detailed instructions and at a reduced price for the whole kit i'm more than happy (I bet that will change when I come to fitting it)
Spoke to Lloyd Allard today and he said the EGR delete pipe is part of the kit as the pipework doesn`t fit else.

That's true, unless you already have someone elses EGR delete kit installed.
Thanks, the item is in the sale bit with prices.
You have a PM.
Allards supplied one with the kit but he'd already fitted one so he's now flogging it.
just shame about the poor bracket re alignements that needs fabricating to fit ,
surey allards have had feedback on this

Chris, when you fitting this mate?? MJ i think they do two different pancake replacement pipes, one to use with the standard intercooler and their uprated intercooler, maybe someone else will confirm this
having a closer look at them now mine had a reducer on the turbo end and was a very large bore up until that point. Chris's seems to be the same bore all the way through. As you've seen on my readers ride brad i had to chop alot of the pipe away in order to make it all fit, what a bloody nightmare!
is this kit really that hard to fit?!!?!? I've been toying with the idea of getting it but all this talk of how difficult it is to fit is putting me off!!!!
why are there problems with it? is it badly made? surely if it's the same shape and size as the original then it should fit?? confused
