i would say use a hairdryer, heat guns are too much for it really and just start to melt it.

its very plyable when u add a little heat and can be wrapped around bends and corners fairly easy.

as you can see i did have my mirrors done and the only reason i took it off was a change of colour scheme

Well over the last few weeks/months ive been getting together my charger kit.

With work and family ive not really had chance to get it fitted or start fitting bits.

But finally time was free so started fitting it and its fair to say pipe work is a nightmare of a job.

Buts heres some pics of it going in

Last jobs to finish off are the bypass just need to finish plumbing that in.

And the blackbox needs wiring in and then hopefully it should be all up and boosting

And yes the belt is fitted and so is the pulley and it runs and turns fine also tested the charger clutch no vibration at all and runs sweet as anything

Just out of interest are you still running the original pre cat exhaust manifold ? From what I'm aware of the manifold should be a decat to allow proper performance, however I may be mistaken .

On mine I still have the original manifold but as I'm in the process of doing a clutch change I'm thinking about going for the decat upgrade to as for performance it will make a small difference but I doubt it will be noticeable
