Default HDI GDB Front Mount Kit help!!

OK, maybe I am thick but I cannot work out the instructions what so bloody ever. Or is it just me.

I started off with what I thought would be the easiest pipe to fit as it was the turbo housing etc.

I've put the pipe on and the pipe is leaving me no room what so ever between the head and subframe to get a hose in and join another pipe.

It looks like the pipe is going at a straight angle towards the subframe but should have a slight angle to it. Is this right?

If anyone who has fitted the GDB kit has marked down part numbers from left to right in order and so on please can you let me know.

Here's some pics I have taken. Please feel free to comment.


Have I put the pipe the right side of the heater pipe etc?



Looks ok from the top


But under the car this is what I come across.




I'm starting to get the hump with it now.

Cheers
Steve

i might sound a little stupid here but are you sure it goes that way coz every time ive seen a front mount the pipe that come off the turbo goes through the drivers side wing an the other comes off the throttle body round past the engine oil filler then down between the engine and the radiator but that might be a different set up, i dont no mate am i wrong

Hey matey,
Yeah this set up for a newage goes the other way round. You would have though for the amount you pay for the kit your get a set of good instructions? Clearly giving part number of the pipe not the words "New pipe". The pictures are a little odd too. Black and White but with a black car and most of the images the instructions point to things but in black........so you cannot see them.

I know Harvey is not very well at the moment so cannot ask him.

Need to get the car up and running.

Thanks Tim. Helpful but need more mate.

Kind of feel as though I've just brought a Porno and the DVD palyer doesn't work.
I just cannot see where the hell the room has to come from to make it fit.


Casters450, PM on it's way mate. Glad I am not the only one to struggle. Thought I was more stupid than I look.
