I got my kit from jonspeed dead easy to build but a pain in the arse with carb icing ! i ended up making my own pipe and bolting the carb direct onto the charger problem solved :)

What's carb icing ?

[HUBBA.HUBBA]

Sucking so much air through carb, so quickly it gets cold and icey.

Doesn't the carb foul on the bonnet?

When I had my vmax carb setup it used to ice up on the long inlet due to fuel evaporation, but only really internally ice up when going constant 60 to 70 on an A road. I fitted a tiny heater in the air filter and one around the outside of the dash pot like a big circlip, worked fine and got very hot!

daze, I have a Jonspeed keit that I will be installing soon.  Do you have a pic showing how your shortened the manifold to the carb?

From what i have seen people put the carb next to where the brake servo is, basically inline with the charger inlet
