Cheers for the info mate. Does this look about right for the adaptor:

I'll be chopping the battery tray to fit this.

That's the badgers nadger.
Apply a small amount of silicone sealant around the outside of this between this and the map pipe.

Had a busy day today. Decided it was time to fit my FMIC.

First off I need to find some wood to get my car into the yard as its very steep and even at standard ride height the bumper wont clear the ramp. Once in the car went up on the stands:

After having an argument with the front bumper it eventually came off :D:

Having had to cut the screws for the map sensor (they just span in the pipe) I fitted the adapter with a bit of silicone and fitted the sensor to the pipe:

On went the FMIC and Map pipe:

Once fitted I decide the Brembos could do with a clean.

Before:

After:

Not perfect but it'll do untill I get some paint for them.

The front bumpers still off as I'm going to get the honeycomb grilles on. My dining room currently looks like a garage:

When I was taking the car apart I notice how little airflow the SMIC get:

Not exactly the best setup (especially for a stage 2 LCR). I'm looking forward to getting the car out on the road and seeing how it performs with the new cooler.

I also have recently had a knocking noise coming from the engine bay. On further investigation it seems to be coming from the jubilee clips on the catch can knockin off the strut brace. I've tied a piece of silicone hose to the brace for now and will need to address this in the future:
