Cause its so hard to make a blanking plate, and relocate the bov pipe underneith.

Yeah that's so easy compared to just bolting one in on a 99/00, isn't it?

any reason why tiddy just din't bolt a plate on instead of having it all welded up & not revertable back to bugeye bov spec? is it really that tight?

Same amount of work, dosent take long to make that blanker, and put another pipe in, With the 98 and earlier, you dont have to shave down the coil pack.

No idea, this is what MMS did. I was planning to bolt a blanking plate on with an adaptor to suit the BOV.

Also managed to get it to fit with the strut brace.

Next issue is working out a splitter/shroud for it!

process wests splitters for the GC are the perfect size to fit over the cooler, just unsure if the placement of the cooler and hole in the bonnet line up!
