[Mk2] [Turbo] Trying to Fit MBC!! (REV2)

Post by Ed209 »

Hi All,

Ok, how hell do i get my hands down there to split the tube from the Turbo to the actuator!? Silly question, but is there anyway other way ,than taking things off and reducing the size of my hands!!?

thanks!

Makes a difference if you remove some of the surrounding pipework. Still a biatch to get to though. #-o

cheers chaps, gonna get a length of hose from halfords , but say i take the original one off and put a new longer one in so i can attach the mbc to the strut bar or whatever - it doesnt loose any power or leak with a long hose/pipe?
