heat management is definately a good thing on a mr2, should work well for you after seeing the melted hoses last time:(

good luck with your leaks, thinking of getting over there again soon, i miss tassie!

its funny you say that but Ive thought the same thing on accasion, not deliberate though, it just evolved that way!

I got it from ATS in the US. its supposed to be bolt on but its far from it. the centre feed might be easier to fit. they are good value though but I dont know if I'll see the real benefit with the smaller compressor. but getting rid of the TVIS and more volume sure wont do any harm

Every single vacuum line on my car is braid :) A bit crazy, but it wasn't too expensive.

hi mate its coming together nicely buts its taken almost a year to put it all together. its parked outside most of the time which has me paranoid given your bad luck recently, you must be gutted.

Ive noticed when the water circulation pump runs my boost gauge needle moves up and down a little showing vaccum (with ignition off and engine not running). Has anybody encountered this before? I can think why it would do this. If anything, I thought there would have been pressure rather than vaccum.....

Ive no idea when I'll be back in Melbourne Darren, I'm trying to work out a trip with work but I'll keep you posted.

possibly just the current draw from the pump playing funny bugger with the gauge.

i like the relocation of the PCV hose and tank. was wondering where i was gonna put mine...now i have another option.

i hooked up that PCV hose just recently. took all of 5 minutes at an engineering shop to get the fitting made up to match the two different diameter hoses
