Ok cool! Got my MAP pipe off without removing the bumper and headlight! :D Took the fog light grill out and managed to get my arm in there and undo the second jublee clip on the rubber coupler. Drilled the heads off the bolts and removed my MAP sensor, seems to be 12mm which sounds right for amk lcr. Willy what size is the hole in your pipe? Could you post the dimensions for the pipe? Did you have it in place? Did it fit without any other silicone bends and such like? Cheers :D

The pipe forge sent me had an 18mm hole in it ( i need approx 11.5mm). The fixing threads for the sensor screws are too small also. It is a straight tube and i intend to fix it without adaptors but it may end up too close to the fan. i think Forge could make a more custom fit one for the LCR.

I think they could, but I don't think you'd pay for it. I had a go at making one for mine to fit the stock pipes, and it was a complete and utter pain in the arse, and had (I think) about 2 or 3 mandrel bends in it, and it was a REALLY tight fit. In other words, a lot of jigging and time involved.
