K1 kitted Leon Cupra gone........ Now got a TTRS

[johnny_reyno]

hiya mate thankyou i have fitted it in the right place but by the looks of things i need a Forge Vacuum Operated Valve to go with it. i already have a induction kit fitted i have a BMC CDA Kit and it sounds nice do you think it makes a difference if i keep the engine cover off cause i see you have taken yours off and fitted a new pipe to your induction kit.

thankyou

Noise wise, makes no difference having the cover on or off. But because I have the Forge Twintake, the cover has to come off. I've got to cut the cover up where the OEM filter is, as water is able to get past the rubber on coil pack four. So recommend you leave the cover on mate.

The spacer is near to the induction kit, on the left. Has the large pipe going to it.

Where did you get the pipe leading to the top of the induction kit with the air sencer. i have left my engine cover on and want to take it off and set it up like yours. can you please tell me where i can get on from and a rough idea of how much it will cost.

also what is the other adapter on the right of the induction kit for?

thankyou

The whole induction kit, is Forge's Twintake. Price from new is around £350, they can be found on Ebay, but make sure you get the right kit for the Leon, as there are differences between the VAG cars. All the info is on Forge's website.

Got the from Ebay mate. Can't remember exactly how much think they were less than £20.00. But I found them under the Altea model, which use the same lenses as the Leon.

Changed the plastidip area abit. Parked near a FR, and looked too similar. The best part of using plastidip is if you get bored it just peels off.
So now only the bottom section around the exhaust is black. Also did the SEAT badge, again its okay to operate the boot release.

The plastidip has also stood up well to road use, and pressure washing. the only proviso is that you don't point the nozzle directly at the edges, otherwise it will start to peel off.

How easy is it to spray the bumper with plastidip?

Dead easy mate, just make sure you have a clean surface and build the layers up. I left around 1/2 an hour between layers. Again if dont like it, it'll peel off. The paint also comes in different colours, and you can get a clear laquer but have't tried that.

Finally changed the standard HU, I went for a JVC AV60BT unit. Has bluetooth, and plays dvds.

Your exhaust isn't central. That is a major pet hate of mine lol.

Your welcome to try mate. I've tried to centralise it, but the rubbers just spring back.

 

[big eck]

Thought about cable ties??? Maybe twist the hangers a bit.

Got my fuel rebuilt at APR, although didn't realise it was going to the states. Got it back yesterday.

Big thanks to Evan at APR and Steve at C&R Enterprises.

Just got to wait for the weather to get a bit better, as the motor is sat outside.

Lovely car mate! Never heard of that plastidip stuff before but looks stop on, and your dash looks gorgeous too! Could you get a up close pic of the edges of it so I can see how neat it is please?
