Got it sorted. Went for another tune and upgraded otr to ramjet 3. Appears the maf connector was damaged and since fixed.

Noise be gone :)

Geez!

Did the tuner give you anymore info other than a damaged connector? Like fuelling off, knock retard counts high etc

Out of curiosity what was the final difference going to Ramjet 3 with the new tune?

It managed 323 at the wheels. So I gained about 10 at the wheels over ramjet 2 I previously had. It's easy to service too which is the main reason I got it.

any pictures of it ?

I am curious what solution they have to tilt the radiator back....
So far I am unimpressed with VCM and Harrops bracket system....

from memory, old ramjet had nice oem looking bracket for radiator that attached to factory radiator mounts on top

Nice mate, I think that it does look much better too.
Too bad they don’t make a version to suit supercharged applications. I had asked when I was there and as there is not a great demand for supercharged ones they didn’t go down the design process, which is completely understandable.

I'll have to take some. It's neat and tiday and radiator isn't as tilted back as much as previous. Still looks oem.

I'll some pics up soon.

But here's one I took on the day.

It looks great. The radiator isn't tilted back as far now with this one. Here's a pic from the day I got it. I'll have to take more to see brackets etc but is very neat and tidy.

I can't seem to find where the brackets are for the radiator but it is secure. I wonder if it's interlocked into the bottom of the Ramjet 3?

Thanks mate. Interesting.

That's pushed back quite a bit

A long way. Looks as though the OTR attaches to the (deleted)radiator brackets and supports the radiator in its new position?
