The inlet cover has been cut, you can see its cut next to the bottom left retaining screw

Also how did you manage to fit the air filter pipe without cutting the front panel???

Who done the conversion anyways???

vauxgirl

when you had your 14/16XE on TBs, what sort of power where you running, cos the graph near the piccies says "98bhp @ 8000rpm" this seems like a bit of a low reading to me

what setup were you using?

When you accelerate hard, somethings going to knock/rub somewhere.

That turbo cover looks the obvoius thing at the minute.

Looks good though
