Just had my bbtb arrive at home today and as per, i'm not there. Send away last night on a rush job.

Does the 320 inloet hoses fit the bbtb or will i need a 325 set of hoses?

Thanks

I seem to remember that Celvin ( e30320i ) had to use the 325 bellows as they are a bigger bore than the 320 one's.....

HTH, Mark.

yes mate you need 325i bellows the 320i ones can be forced on by heating it in some boiling water but its really tight and i wouldn't be suprised if they split in the process.i'd highly reccomend a zone chip to get the most out of it

Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated.

I'll try and get some new hoses when i get back ashore. The car is running a Viper2 chip just now but i think its the wrong ecu i was sold(even though he said it would run ok, hmm daz???) so it doesnt run that great with it so back to stock ecu for just now unless someone wants to swap newer chipped ecu for older one, i think its a 172, cant confirm till i get home though :(

Anyway, thanx again for the info, might have the thing going somepoint!!!
