Mark, what you like aye? :doh:

Ive gone for the new top hat as it is a little bit enlarged and also has the dump valve fitting in it, as i didnt want to have it in the engine bay, as i'd have to have the inlet pipe cut/welded.
This way it's hidden under the cover.

Much better location for the dump valve. What size intercooler pipework you got, I ended up cutting the first section of the tophat upto the ridge to suit mine, bit less of a restriction too then.

I've got the EDS 2.5"/60mm, with a reducer, so will use that for now, but will get a straight piece later on.
Have you got the Regal/EDS one too? Not very smooth indside are they? :lol:

Mate of mine had a dig around and found me an old style oil cap, so out came the Autosol and here's the result. What ya think?

Also I got hold of some straight hose and have cut the Tophat back to the larger 60mm diameter so it's now less restrictive.

Polished pipework from TX Autosport at PVS 2010
You may have seen this on the C20LET table they had there.
