Cheers mate all good. One thing, you never mentioned having to run some pipe between the MCAI and airbox, and how you would seal em up:p

Here's a link to the most detailed set of instructions and pics I've seen for this mod:

http://www.users.on.net/~pedroj/ute/vy_ute_airbox.html

It's from another forum which I dont like much, but hey.

I've just got a couple of questions:

OLS108, why have you got a list of Holden part no's when the guy in the link above didnt use any new parts?

Also, how many kW would I gain just by doing this mod alone? Probably bugger all hey? Would it be noticable?

by looking at that Link i assume that its a VY , the VY already has the parts you just have to Cut a 2nd Hole, VT/VX/VU all need the parts i listed.

VT SS 5.7L Commodore.
Can I ask, for a VT Series II, I have bought the parts, but how do I go about moving the IAC Sensor? Or can still stay in the same place?
Thanks.
