First of all make sure there are no air leaks between the powerbox/lower inlet and powerbox/throttle body. Then check all of your vacuum pipes for splits. | |

Thanks flame/Glen been really helpful, turned out the guy where I ordered the manifold from forgot to add a nozzle which should of come with the kit!! I have now assembled the thing and car now starts but it is running really lumpy which now questions whether I have connected all the pipes correctly. Has anyone got any detailed photos of how and where they all connect as there seems to be different answers everywhere I look!!! Thanks | |

Heres a link on how to fit it and the parts needed | |

Here's a video I made when I fitted my inlet manifold. It's not all the fitting as the battery ran out on my Gopro, but it may help u | |

Not really although there is an old copy of total Vauxhall that had a great how to fit a Mantzel one which is basically the same job. Not sure how you could find that tho. It's not too difficult a job really, as long as you can get the black plastic air induction pipe from behind the engine- if you cut the 'L' off the middle of it from underneath then makes a lot easier. I think Warren G did a guide in the tutorials section here. | |

Are there any detailed photos for the fitting of these as well? | |

I think he has maybe put 2 holes there to allow more vac pipes to be run directly into the manifold rather than having 3 or 4 T pieces. Having them all run into one fitting is fine though. Make sure not to connect the S shaped breather that comes off the top right hand side of the cam cover in with the vac pipes or it will mess up the map sensor readings. Just let that one vent to atmosphere. | |

Hi thanks for your reply, yes all three holes have thread in, large hole for the brake servo pipe, second for the map sensor tube and then left with one?? As I say the manifold came without an adaptor for the last hole, so what hose should fit into that bottom hole? | |

Are there screw threads in the hole at the bottom? If so then you can go to your nearest hydraulic hose manufacturer like Pirtek for example and get a fitting to screw in there. I got ones before that were a bolt with Allen key head and had a channel under the head with a rubber o ring to make an airtight seal- same sort of idea as a corsa c sump plug. | |
