One thing I've noticed is that the engine picks up revs when you brake and release . I guess it's because of the drop in pressure from the manifold.

I've got some microbore copper tubing which will plumb into the surplus water pipes, when I've figured out howto coil it tight enough. I think you have to fill it with water or oil before bending.
