EVOM V-Flow CAI 3.4 to 3.6 question
#16
Installed the CAI using the new bracket today. Thanks to Tim from RPM for that amazing service again.
You can see from the stock picture that the pump on the left hand side sits too far into the engine bay for the V-Flow.
The new bracket repositions the pump further back allowing the downpipe for the CAI to fit.
A word of warning though, I did have to drill the body. I tried the holes left by the old bracklet which was an extremely tight fit and one that left the pump resting on the suspension tower. When the pump kicked in you hear the vibration through the car. I drilled a small hole half way between the 2 existing bolt holes and fitted using the original gromets and bolts. Now it sits fine with no noise.
Just as a side though, anyone know what that pump actually does? It comes on when you start the car up then goes off after about 1-2min. Occasionally in low revs or in traffic it will come back on briefly...
