    Cheers mate, will look them up.
    I was looking at getting the piping and making one up. What diameter is the turbo intake? Rest of piping is 80mm, so I'd need a 80mm to top of turbo, 80mm metal 90 degree metal bend and an 80mm joiner to the maf?

    Haha yep! I've made the same intake twice now so I can do it with my eyes shut.

    I got my parts from a place in the US this time around, they only took a week or so to arrive and the whole intake including filter cost me well under $200 landed.

    The only thing not on the below list is the pod filter bracket I bought from Supercheap which sits under the intake and bolts to the engine mount bolt $10 part.

    Today I took off both number plates, drilled them to line up with the factory location mounting holes in the F+R SRi bumpers, sourced some metal thread countersunk head screws, nuts & washers, bought a pack of those plastic push on screw cap covers and remounted the number plates properly through bolting with nuts & washers on the backside and some loctite to keep them there.

    Very simple task you would expect to take about 30mins tops, but actually ended up taking half the day. No doubt which is why the dealership apes just offer up the new number plate and drill through the existing holes to self-tap into the plastic of the bumper wherever that happens to be, simultaneously ruining a perfectly good bumper and not using the mounting points that are factory provided for the job.

    I didn't go the extent of patching up the self-tapped holes drilled into the bumper by other morons before me, because how I've mounted the number plates properly now, conceals the previous holes completely, but if it hadn't then I would have had to do that as well. Not so easy to get to the back side for through bolting. Rear didn't need any disassembly, just small hands and long fingers to reach around up under the rear SRi bumper. The front however needed to have its grille taken out both upper and lower sections to get access. Fortunately was able to get this done without breaking any fastenings and plastic clips. Very unusual since both items are almost entirely held in place with nothing more than plastic spring clips!

    Thanks for that man!
    I'd need 3.25 inch piping for a VXR?

    If you get the stuff from https://www.mycarperformance.com.au you can just get the pipes in mm rather than inches aswell.

    Can't get 3.25 mm metal bend pipe. So I'll have to go from turbo into 3.5", 3.5" metal pipe, and then instead of a straight connector to the MAF, I would have to have a drop down 3.5" to 3.25" pipe. I think
