1. Approximate torque values?

3. Do I need to prime the cooler/hoses once installed or does the pump do all the work and flush out the air?
4. Should I run the new hoses approximately over the same path as the existing ones?
5. Where should the split corrugated hose be used?
6. Where should the small blue hose be used?
7. Is any cutting of the wheel arch liner or front area required?

Thanks again.

PS, nice laser cutting of "ADVAN" on the bracket. Pity they can't do the centre of the "D"

+ 1 on all of these questions. It would be nice if you guys could put together a DIY for us. Some of the questions Tim put forward didn't even cross my mind so I'm glad he's put it out there.

I'm personally not a fan of the laser cutting, would much rather prefer some kind of stamp engraving as it looks a lot cleaner, plus it might have brought the cost of the kit down a bit too! Seems a bit unnecessary to me.

This works with our M Sport bumpers with the additional duct kit. In fact our bumpers require the least additional bits of all the N54 fitments. These are the extra bits I think we need.

O.T.
Hey Vinney, with your stud kit, will a standard/impact socket fit over the nuts or are the studs too long? Are yours 75mm studs from Turner Motor-sport?

Actually that makes more sense that the coding is for the tune. If I can find the links I found the other day I'll post them up here. Yes I'm using the TM 75mm studs, so far so good. I'm also using a 17mm socket wrapped in a rubber/silicon sleeve that I picked up from SCA with my impact. Changing wheels/bolts has never been easier
