ok, how ive messed this up installing i have no idea. but today installed the k&n induction kit at my mates, when it was done, system engine error, engine too hot or something along those lines.

Anyway left it for 30mins and car did start up next time. I thought it was sorted.

Driving home engine is bringing up warning maybe every time i hit about 6000revs window wipers going front and back and car drops revs. can drive again after a few seconds. Have i complete messed up the install? or have i knocked something.

let me show some pics and see if theres anything blatently obvious... will upload in next post

isn't much that can be wrong done when installing a induction kit. fit filter to elbow and the elbow to throttle body. and the return hose from the back of the engine to the filter and then done.
