    That's pretty weird.

    I dunno about the filter being directly on the AFM - for years, i had mine extended a bit longer than Lee has his and i never had any issues with boost.

    Someone on the FB page had made a turbo to AFM pipe kit like yours Lee, can't remember who it was tho, but it may be worth finding out if they had any issues.

    What have you done with the other hoses that are supposed to go into the original turbo/AFM pipe? Charcoal filter, ICV etc?

    I ran a solid pipe exactly the same as that, but had an inlet added as was running forge recirc. After the solid elbow, I had the afm then apexi filter in a straight.....no issues

    I bet ur right Todd, I've had that baileys for 10 years now and does seem to stick sometimes. Not had chance to test it yet, was waiting on a silicone reducer, 70-57 from the turbo to the pipe which arrived today so will test at weekend. Think I may get a new dv too.

    I made my own last week, runs spot on! But i replicated the shape of the original AFM>turbo hose.

    70mm->60mm 90deg reducer, and a 70mm 90deg alloy pipe. Used the cut offs from the reducer to use on the other end of the allow pipe.

    Still need to chop the alloy pipe back so i can refit the AFM to the bracket and get my old 45deg bend samco on.









    How it was:

    hi , when I was the proud keeper of r616 osl I had a similar filter set up but without the morrettes and the extra bend post afm ,no running issues what so ever . I would suggest losing the bend and also maybe refit the lamp to lose the ram-air effect as maybe its just getting too much air for the map and i'd worry it maybe causing lean fueling ? slightly educated guess based on my basic knowledge and previous ownership of this very nice example of the marque

    How's the car these days Lee? I do miss the it sometimes, was probably one of the nicest examples on here when I had it.
