Well it was last night actually but me and "Looney R" got up to a spot of late night mechanics and fitted my TIP

The original came of easy enought allthough those clips put up a bit of a fight

New with old, the old one was quite soft an easy to bend so I can imagine it closing up under full boost

And everything is installed

I'm a happy boy it sounds much better and I don't care what you say I think it has made the car a little more torquey, it could be that the old TIP collapsed under boost but it pulls better at the top of the rev range now ;)

A big thanks to Looney R for his help

i think its the regulator, as when i pushed the switch to go back up the window went up about 1cm, so by that im guessin that the motor still works, but we will see :(
