Eoi: Carbon Bonnets For 2630 R32 Gtr

[dorifticon]

Hey I've got a thread in overhauls, but in summary:

-Spaced the x-member down by 10mm using steel spacers I made up (dimensions in my thread)

-removed one of the ribs on the bonnet where it fouled the timing cover (note if the underbonnet felt is in place it covers this)

-spaced back of bonnet up 20mm (this was for the turbo pipe)

-ground off the "twin-turbo" boss on the alloy collector pipe.

By far the biggest screw around is the twin turbo pipe, possibly explains why so many people run singles. Glen at ESP said mine was the first 3.0 tt setup he'd seen (in person, I presume).

I also considered the bulge thing but baulked at the idea of attempting to graft to the alloy bonnet (too think to weld also).

In hindsight I wish I had though of modifying an r32 GTS-t bonnet as I understand they are metal, and then could weld a metal bulge on.

My 32gtst has a 32gtr bonnet and while I considered the same thing (going back to the GTSt bonnet so I could hack it up) they are so obscenely heavy compared to the GTR bonnet that I just couldn't do it.
