Mines an 02 pfl, do i set my vacuum hoses the same? My typhoon is goin on tomorow.

The instructions say to do it the same as this one on this topic.

[Scotty Don't]

Your's will be different from mine as it is the pre face lift. You shud follow the 2002 - 2004 instructions which will include pluging the manifold, where as on mine where i pluged the T peice (as shown in the second pic of my older post) Hope this helps i was abit confused when i fitted mine a couple of weeks ago.

the instructions arent very clear, the pics are poor on the sheets.

Thanks for clarifying that for me.

I too thought the instructions were 'pap' John. Best thing to do is pop the bonnet, get a decent amount of light so you can see whats going on then just read through the instructions first simply identifying the parts they talk about.

[johnmaher]

Thanks for the tips, my boss is off tomorow so i got plenty of time to do it, lol

will take my time with it. Wanna make sure its right.

[ricc]

Yeah totally.

I decided that the first job was to extend the MAF wiring before I even removed any of the existing setup. That way I knew I would be free and easy when it came to connecting it back up once the SRI pipe was in place.

Foot note.... I extended the MAF wiring by 3 to 4 inches. :)

*Edit* I did mine at work too when my boss was out of office. lol.

no problem mate, the last thing u want is to get the vacume hoses wrong and have a load of warning lights come up on the dash. Thats what happened to me :( but this the ''K&N typhoon'' thread helped me out

After reading this thread im not sure if i followed the pre or post facelift instructions (mines a facelift model)

Would it cause/have caused any problems if i followed the wrong fitting guide?

Cheers

if you have your warning lights on for your vsc then you have a minor problem, if not your ok to go!!

just put mine on today, no warning lights or anythin, had to extend my wires by 4 inch.

just bit worried bout how close the live terminal on the Battery is to the pipe!!

[rallyfan1986]

No warning lights, so guess i must have got lucky and fitted it right.

does anyone elses make a strange noise when you start and turn off the engine?

[ricc]

the overly asthmatic engine is normal. :)

[johnmaher]

It sounds mega, especially when lift kicks in!!

As if lift wasnt addictive enough lol.

You was right ricc, had to extend maf wires by 4 inch. Nicley solder'd and heat shrinked then insulated.

Took an hour start to finish.

Mine has a **** job on the extension.. maybe Ricc has to save me again ;)

[ricc]

Save you? from what? certain humiliation at pod when ure engine goes into limp mode leaving me to take the WIN B)

John, thought you might have to! an additional 4 gives you room to have it routed neatly and under no strain at all (which is how it should be)

Yessums :(
