Got the Eco adapter fitted but it's running like a bag of ****, i'm guessing (Hoping) it's due to the original pipe to the SFI box no longer fits

Can anyone help ?

the icv is only operative below 2k revs. keep it above that and it will be fine lol

ie: motorway driving.

Yeah your right it's fine when im revving it away on the drive and annoying the neighbourslol

Cheers Mr Let Nova ! As usual a weath of knowledge :thumb:

As it's only a breather I think I may get some straight silicon pipe and a 90deg bend from the Ebay

Yeah I thought that but a friend of mine who's knowledge is far greater than mine things it should be proper hose to handle the oil vaper :confused:

Ive got a hose now but just need a 22mm joiner or 90deg bend, I'll do weekly checks on it (inside and out) to see if he's right or not
