| I drove a mate's 300bhp Tomcat once, was a lot of fun but I know what you mean about the curb - could be a handful  |

| I don't think you will have a capped boost from the inlet. Your lump is very similar to mine, I would recommend that you put a t-piece into the pipe to the fuel pressure regulator as it is simple and easy to locate. _________________ Cars: MK4 Golf GTi 1.8 20v T, 1974 Flat Screen Beetle - Bikes: Honda VFR Vtec, Yamaha R1, Honda 76 400/4 - Team: 20vT

| There is a picture showing the routing of pipes, 14 is the FPR and it connects straight to the inlet manifold for it's vacuum source.
