Fitting a swirl pot
I won a swirl pot on ebay but there is no fitting kit for it , can someone please post a picture as to where it fits , also im a bit unsure why the outlets on it seem to be very large at a guess i would say 1 inch . Any help much appreciated!

Goes in the top radiator hose just after the swirl pot that is on there as sandard.

ah for some reason i thought it went next to the header tank which is why i could not see how the small hoses would fit to it
, so would the lower outlet of the pot be the one that goes to the rad then.

You can't be having 2 swirl pots. Give's you an extra 20bhp......
Then 10bhp for every successive Swirl Pot after that.

Yes.
Alternatively, get a CVH non-turbo Thermostat housing and fit your aftermarket swirl pot, but kinda pointless.
