Default fitting auto specialists inlet

As i recall some mods need to be made to the power steering pipes to fit a auto specialists inlet onto a 2wd cossy. What exactly are the mods & boost hose is used to connect it to the intercooler

You can buy the power steering pipe modified ready to fit , I cut down my existing cooler pipe and bought a throttle body linkage off ebay

I'm sure some people have had to mod one of the brake pipes coming out the abs block.

Wouldn't that just affect LHD cars?

I had to bend the brake pipes lol also had to open the holes at the top up a little to get the inlet trumpets back over there studs as I fitted mine in one lump. Also it didn't meet up with my intercooler very well so ended up buying a spec-r cooler.
