BMC V's ITG

[big_wasa]

I like making stuff but the itg looks the best quality. I am not a fan of re using the the squidgy standard hose on the throttle body.

Over the years people have said keep the pipe work away from the rad and the filter or air feed out of the engine bay and its all much of a muchness.

I made mine out of stainless but alloy and sillicone joiners will do the same jome for less.



Less than £90 all in

Nice work there, could be a nice earner if offered to members etc?

Thanks I dont feel my Tig work is upto retail standard yet though. I would have gone alloy but only have a Dc tig.

Alloy elbows and joiners will do the same job.

someone correct me if im wrong please

first thing first is it a mk1 or mk2

im sure there was a thread some where that the bmc on a mk2 was just touching the rad but in a mk1 is was ok ?? think the engine sits a bit further forward or the rad a bit more back on the mk2 could be wrong

ive had a bmc and did not like the way it fitted as a kit (as a filter fine) so i got the silicone bit made up buy the time that was made up i should of just bought the ITG straight fit job done

I cannot see why the mk1 and the mk2 should be any different, same car under the facelift panels. Granted the BMC cannistor is close to the radiator, but if care is taken when fitting then it is not a problem, not much in it when compared to the ITG one either. My BMC has been fitted for around 6 years now and has been in and out a few times for servicing, no problem at all. At the time I could not justify the ITG price tag for such small gains hence the BMC route which cost me less than half the ITG version. Each to their own and of their spanner capabilities.
