Default rs1600i rocker cover with turbo crossover pipe

as above. what do i need to consider?

does some of it need to be removed?

is the oil filler up to use on a turbo car?

going on a fiesta RSt (hopefully) if that makes a difference?

EDIT TO ADD what about a spacer in the EFI manifold to lift the throttle body?

Its not worth it mate, you have to do SO much work to them and you lose everything thats nice about them.

The oil caps are a lot better though, twist on, not push fit

U would need one hell of a spacer to clear the throttle body, and it would probably foul the bonnet then!

Speakin of 16i's and oil caps, I remember racing a 1600i TT in an S1, 16i had us till he started to drop back slightly. . then huge plumes of smoke bellowed and he'd melted a piston, bonnet open, oil everywhere. . FIRE fanta to the rescue and no oil cap. . . it must of been blown off with the pressure. . wonder how that happened. . anyway. .

SafeChav, Nope, no idea whatesoever!

Just ask Cossie Sean (think that's his username) was his car that it happened too

vx220, If you wanted one that bad you could change to an XR3i inlet manifold.

Don't do bad things to these rocker covers please!

Just use a XR3i or RSi inlet:
