thanks....

ehhh, its because of how the turbo sits on the tubular manifold.... and where it meets the ABS lines...u have any old pics of how ur intake pipe looks when u had the same set up?

it could be worse....as long as it works and functions properly...thats all that matters....I even want a Blitz filter to replace the ugly pink one...
