Its the one from the airbox... Ive stuck it into the blue silicone with a turbo boost guage adaptor so the vacuum system still gets filtered air!

Right now your vacuum system has no protection from foreign particles
 
Theres the graph

Ignore the blip at 3k rpm to around 3750 rpm
This is an on going issue with my car and was apparant before the remap, i've logged it loads on vcds and tried numerous things but from 3k to 3750rpm my car is underboosting by around 0.2 bar so has an annoying flat spot

But it comes on song again and eventually perks up

Im going to take the turbo off as im certain its either a leaking actuator or my previous vane cleaning hasnt worked 100%

And cheers! The boost issues hacking me off that much im considering falling out of love with it and binning my ideas and save for a darkside kit :O
 
Aha yeah!

I seen one thread had like 15 comments on day one as someone put lcr in the thread title (it was a stock car) lol

And did something really stupid! Fitted a k+n open cone. Actually pulls a bit better and doesnt sound too bad for a derv. Used a boost guage adaptor i had sitting about to plumb in the vacuum feed

Sorry I didn't get back to you about that filter I just forgot, I've got a boost gauge tap spare so I'm going to do the same I think, what I/d are those pipes you used to replace vacuum pipes?
 
Busy day today!

Oil and filter change
And decided to have a shot of fitting an under the driveshaft front arb instead of my over the driveshaft one that likes to knock over bumps!
Put this job off for months but it was actually easy peasy!
Also lowered the front another 4 threads and fitted my superpro arb bushes


Before (over driveshaft)

After (under driveshaft)

Then it was a reset the service indicator job..... Until another common VAG fault rears its head! So off i go for another new part - green coolant temp sensor

No more faults / banging over bumps of riding high :)

Larger vac hoses are 8mm (i think dont quote me)

Smaller ones are defo 3mm (i used 4mm and were a bit loose)
 
I think they look so much better with the LCR splitter on, it's one of the first things I did :D
Looking noiceee!

Yeah i paid £30 for it brand new

A lad i know bought it but didnt know how to fit it so i took it off his hands! Wouldnt pay the £50 they are from seat :O
