I know that plemumn - It was developed by a chap on the XROC forum called Mad Old Bugger (Can't remember his name) and was to be used for his twin turbo conversion for a BOA 24v V6 Cosworth engine that he was developing around 7/8 years ago - A lot of time and effort went into that. Have a butchers at the XROC forum and I'm pretty sure that someone on there will want it!

From what I gather it lived in an XR4x4 but this was many years ago - The best place to ask is on the XROC forum and the member "TwinTurbo" would have a LOT of information about it too - Might be quite lucrative to speak to him

that what you have there is worth money it is for the 24v turbo conversion for big power,as the normal inlet on the 24v is restricted to around 300bhp that inlet you have there does away with the restriction boostperformance make them

Did anyone on this forum buy this plenum of Billybigspuds??

Well I've paid for it!!

I sent him some money back in early June but never received the plenum

Was just wondering if this idiot has run a scam on several people on this forum? Or if somebody else paid for it and actually got the plenum of him, and me just being an “easy target” living in Norway...
