use a strap wrench to hold the pulley whilst the nut is tightened to 61 Nm.

20.  Use a 6-point socket on the tensioner arm to allow fitment of the new multirib accessory drive belt around 

the pulleys as shown, ensuring that the belt is correctly seated in all the ribbed pulleys.

21.  Fit two rubber mountings to both of the chargecooler mounting brackets using spring washers and M8 

Nyloc nuts.  Fit the LH bracket to the inlet manifold and cam cover using Permabond A130 on both screw 

threads.  Tighten to 25 Nm.  Fit the RH bracket to the inlet manifold bosses in a similar manner.

22.  Fit the MAP sensor to the chargecooler using the M6 x 16 setscrew, ensuring that the sensor seal is intact.  

Fit the chargecooler to the rubber mounts and secure with spring washers and Nyloc nuts tightened to 25 

Nm.

23.  Fit the chargecooler intake 'U' shaped duct A128E0008 between the supercharger outlet and chargecooler 

using the connector hoses and worm drive clamps.  In a similar manner, fit the outlet duct A128E0011 

between the chargecooler and inlet manifold.
