Re: GU TD42 N/A Airbox

Yeah i can't see why not, the other filters only a "pre filter" anyway and most patrols only have one filter anyway!
All 3lt and most GQ's only had one. I say if it feels good, do it!

Re: TD42 Intercooler sizes

hole in the manifold is 60mm, so you might want to do the cool side in 2.5 inch. Yeah i always wondered why i'd heard of people running 2.5 inch pipe on the cool side. The turbo's only running a 2.5 inch inlet from the airbox and the snorkel is just your average plastic snorkel so i don't see much ...

Re: TD42 Intercooler sizes

Really? cause i thought there's a point where they can be too big and end up just slowing the air flow down? i mean the factory ones are only quite small.
Then again i'd be pissed if i fitted one that was too small and have to fit up a bigger one down the track...

Re: plumbing aux tank into main tank

there isn't huge amounts of pressure in the return line from the engine so i guess you could put a T piece in the return line and like you said just pump it to the main tank that way. You'd probably want to put a one way valve in the line leading to the sub tank thou to stop the risk of over filling ...

it's probably logged a fault code in the airbag module which at a guess will mean you need to plug it into a scan tool to clear the code and reset the module.
