Re: Hella Ralleye FF 4000
The ones you are looking at have the fog optics. So lots of spread and not much distance. The advantage they have over the roolite ones is they have a metal housing and will not break unless given a really hard smack from a tree ect

Re: Calling owners of V8-converted landcruisers
I have almost finished my chev v8 in to my 73 middy. It has a Dellow adaptor and I have not had any fouling problems with the fire wall. Having said that it does have a 2" body lift. If you cant massage the firewall enough I would sugest a bady lift

Re: Ryco/Cooper/Wesfil filters. Same company so same quality
What did the management tell you and who was it? You cna just use initials if you dont want to post names. Unfortunatly it was a case of two problems that had the same leaking point. Could have happened to any filter company really.

I will give you my back ground so that what I am saying has a bit of weight. I have a advanced diploma in engineering and am a former empoloee of Ryco.

Re: mazda bt50 exhast size?? with Steinbauer chip and snorke
Personally I would go a 3" all the way. 2.5" wont flow enough. That is generally speaking with turbos. I would get a new exhuast bloke for 2 reasons. 1. As mentioned before you dont want any back pressure with a turbo set up and .2. he charges way to much

Re: Loud turbo whistle
did you change your air box when you changed your turbo. If so that might be your problem. otherwise like a few other ppl have said, look at you manifold inlet side.
