    So as I!
    There is a 155 owner on our hungarian forum. His 155 kicks butt! I just love it!

    No need to apologise, a 2.0L 8v was my first 155. Has it blown the rubber couplers off the inlet manifold yet?
    Mine used to do that every time I was late and in a hurry.

    nope not yet

    would be nice to get an alloy one to replace the plastic chamber as i have seen a few that have split

    failing that if i can get one and have a look inside i may beable to make one at work or even give it to our spar maker and see if he can make one out of stainless

    I got 1 alloy one, and a spare plastic one... will get all the alloy ones i can get from the breakers...

    btw, the rubber hoses are the real rarity.... unavailable from the dealers, and nearly all are perished... different sizes for the alloy and plastic plenums aswell...

    Are they an odd size, must be some silicon replacements somewhere...?
