	The intake pipe that fits on to the throttle body has a hole to accept the pipe next to it, but also has another hole which I guess number 5 might connect to too.

			'''AndySimpson:'''

			No 5 connects on the rubber pipe between throttle and air flow meter.

			N0 7 just has a pipe which comes out and instantly reduces in size.

			Lambda sensor is best in exhaust front pipe as near to manifold as possible to get nice and hot.

			The mfa is the display on the dash which tells lies about mpg.

			Exhaust pipe with lambda sensor boss about £30?
