Yea mine is feeling better,did you notice any very tiny hesitation bottom end?
,know it pulls like a fekin train mid and top end
nice job cowie
Cheers mate
No mate,sorry had a lot of pissing about with getting the IC the right height,it just and so sat behind crash barrier,as top outlet was close to rad steelwork,any lower and bumper wouldnt go back on
pleased with outcome in the end though,and power seems a lot better higher up the rev range.

Cowie, how did you git the MAP sensor? i have the intercooler pipe kit off ebay and wanted to know how you got round the sensor fitting.
hi mate i got the forge map sensor pipe,which is way too long,i cut it down to around 5-6 inch long and fitted it below the hose that goes to the throttle body, just and so had enough play on the map sensor wiring to manage to do it,so its basically behind the wheel arch cover,think when this shitty weather goes am gonna take bumper off and replace a couple of the metal elbows with silicone to give a little more flex in the pipework, a couple of the bends were really tight together with the metal ones and i dont think i have the best fit possible really.
mate i've never really messed with cars before but after reading up and following a guide i decided to have a go myself, i'd say was a 6 out of 10 lol for difficulty,mainly due to the piping kit i bought as it was all metal elbows 90's and 45's,and with it being a twin pass FMIC there aint a lot of room to play with,am gonna redo some/most of it with silicon elbows i think soon.

used the guide on here, which was real helpful in removing the bumper etc

FMIC is my next job but it will have to wait till next year, waiting for the new miltek to arrive full turbo back should be nice, also fitted ap coilovers and replaced the front wishbones hubs and front arb and a new rear arb, cant wait to get it back on the road again.
Wayne the tax disk can go anywhere on the left hand side of the screen mine is top left and perfectly leagal.

Just spotted thus, nice neat job there Cowie, any additional lag from it? How are the IAT's doing from the extra cooling?
cool man, im the same, never really had a go myself until i bought the cupra, now im attempting bits and bobs and i think il have a go at fitting mine, how come you bought the seperate piping kit, the toyo comes with one doesnt it?
If it is toyo that cowie's bought the size is 420x160x85 with 64mm inlet/outlet
