some 1 has got the gruppe but not installed yet so when install will give you a buzz
back to the installation, since there is a pipe sticking out right behind the kidney grill, the keith vortex scoop needed to be removed and the vent next to the scoop needed to be cut out. Other than that, the installation looks quite straight forward. One thing AK pointed out is that the whole gruppeM thing doesn't have holes for water draining and the hose pipe sticks out, so there might be chance that water getting into the engine when we spray clean the cooler, need to be careful on that one when cleaning car. AK tested the suction force by hitting on the gas while covering the mouth of pipe with a towel, the dame thing just got sucked in in a split second and lucky that we were grasping the corner of towel... scary shit it is.

I took that and it's installed tonite. Remember I said the selling post in 28car look weird? I told that seller to take the thing to AK and was ready to get some good laugh teasing him for selling fake stuff. but AK checked it and said it's genuine, so I had no choice but pay... He also has some fast cam and white tail light for e60 for sale, if anyone is interested lemme know and I can give his contact number to you.
