I've got the overflow bottle fitted by JET and it works a treat, especially at the track.
Love your new avatar also. HST looking a treat.

Are you sure that your air filter location will get enough air? I've heard of people with concerns over just having the filter in front of the coolant expansion tank since there is less air there than the stock location. I would think that the location you selected would be a vacuum at high velocities, no? Not to mention your tires slinging dirt, water and mud onto the filter!

That location is gonna hurt you in the long run. I had an air filter in that location when I first bought my turbo (previous owner). Sounded great, looked OK, but when it rained the car started to misfire and run rough....five minutes later my headgasket was blown. I pulled over and sure enough the filter was soaked with water. I had ingested the water through the splashing and spray from the front tire.

JET is off racing today and may not see this so I'll answer on his behalf that so far so good. No issues with the location of the filter. He is going to cover the standard K&N with some of the old stock filter paper to increase filtration. He will do the same on my car too.

Tim, I just emailed you. The MAF sensor you have is different than the one Sean & Patrick are using, so the above setup might need to be modifed.

This looks to be a great idea and upgrade !
well i finally got around to installing the vitesse stage 3 kit (which i have had sitting in our shop for the past few months). fairly simple to install, only took a day, that was with a clutch job as well. it is amazing, straight out of the box it ran first crank, which i expected. drove it around for a while off boost to let the turbo seals seat. and finally got on it... the power is amazing. i dont think it even has any more lag then my k26/6, but it just pulls all the way to redline. and the surge is just addictive. oh and the sound is great...
i wasnt keen on where the cone air filter went so today i cut up some stainless bends, welded and used some silicone hose and put the air filter in the inner guard. i still have some polishing to do on the pipes too. i have no dyno figures yet but i will post them up when i have them.

This is a great post !
There is something to be said, for those who wait
Well, after 5 years it's about time for me to put mine in ... After searching the board last night, for hours ... it's amazing how many posts there were regarding fitment issues ... This looks to be a great answer for those issues ..
Since my MAF and J pipe are the older version ( probably even older than what's pictured, I am having a hell of a time getting things to fit ... I can try cutting the J pipe, which I am sure would make it a little better, but that still leaves me with a filter ( which has a rubber top on the end, poised right in front of the hole, in which fresh air is supposted to be coming in to .... It acts more like a plug than an air intake ... Also because I have a turbo S that coolant cross bar and hose and support brace make it even a more difficult install. Does anyone have more instructions or pictures of this install? It would be very helpful ... I want to do this ASAP
Thanks in advance
Kind regards
Ed

Hi Ed,
Here is a picture of the pipe i made, its entirely 3 inch in diameter. back then i used oxy to weld it. It comprises of 2x 90 degree sections, cut the first one in half and flip it around and weld it on. then just weld the 2nd 90 degree onto that. attach with a silicon hose.

It looks like that pipe has a bead on one end? Is that intercooler boost type pipe?
Also, my MAF has a 3 1/2 inch outlet (or inlet, as it should be called) wasn't yours 3 1/2 inches Did you just step down ?
One more question: Did you have to cut your J pipe as mine is way to long and it seems some had to do this
Sorry for all the questions
Best regards

Hi Ed,
I believe my Maf is 3 inch in diameter. seems like you have a bigger one. I used 1.5mm stainless as that's what i had in the workshop at the time. if i were to do it again i would use aluminium, its just lighter. the J pipe will still fit. i just leave all the clamps loose(except for the turbo inlet clamp, as its harder to get to with the inlet installed) and play around with the fitment. it will fit but will need some fiddling. the bead is not necessary, i just did that because i could. any questions im more then happy to help. i can provide more photos if you need them
