yeah i noticed that once it was out looks abit awkward to get at so i think taking the whole lotout would be the easyist option least that way itl get a real good clean, we also adjusted the hose on the intercooler which seems to have worked! now it pulls lovely without the splutter just for reference which engine oil did you use??cheers!
