Yep thats a top hose Brett.

I'm not so sure about the MPI rad. It "may" just be up to the job. We didn't have the best airflow in the van when we had it installed. We also had a crappy fan on it.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

The Mpi rad failed to cool my N/A racecar as well despite the fact that many people have used it successfully on turbos.

Respect for finding time to work on the mini, I work a normal day job and find it tough to go out to the workshop in the evenings.
Beer and a comfy couch seem so much more inviting.
