How did you fit the filter Dan, as I have still got the old snorkel.

straight ontop of the snorkel tube
have a look in me gallery matey  :wink:

Update on this, the smoke is almost gone, on start up a big blow of black smoke (normal)? then reduces to a fine plume afterwards and stays there and I cannot seem to shift it, do you think this engine just needs a good run, as it had sat in a barn for a year, (all oils have been changed, and injector clearner added) or as others have said the turbo may need looking at from when she locked up in the ford?

extreme90:
if its chugging black smoke out then its running rich
i.e theres too much fuel going in vs air
which could be down to the turbo being drownd
but i wouldnt go worrying yet if its just abit of black , see if it settles down
if the turbo isnt whining and your getting a nice kick from it as it comes up onto boost dont worry  :)
id run it around for a few weeks and then montior the smoke when its settled down after being stud
