the crash is heavily modified as the upper pipework runs through it.

 

[LEE69]

Yeah some have search twin pass

 

[Cupra R101]

Not done mine yet but if you read about FMIC they almost always recommend one with pipework from either end not 2 at one end if makes sense Particularly for the LCR as it has 2 side mounted as standard so diff layout to Golf

 

[DPJ]

That layout isn't suitable for LCRs.

 

[traumapat]

Twin pass is fine for a cupra, but they can be restrictive flow wise. If your planning on a bigger turbo single pass would be better.

 

[G1NG3R]

mines an LC so that should be ok right.?? keeping the same turbo aswell.

 

[G1NG3R]

well unfortunatly they dont sell the pipes on there own so universal pipe kit and i am gonna try fitting it the way that one would go.?

 

[Cupra R101]

You can buy necessary pipework from most silicone hose companies ie SFS

 

[G1NG3R]

Sfs is in Luton so just down the road from me.

mine's twin pass, didn't have to cut any bumper,sat behind crash barrier 'just', i got universal pipes off ebay, alloy elbows etc, i'd rather change them for silicon elbows as the metal are too rigid, its a bit of a tight squeeze which would have been easier with all silicon elbows and metal couplers, got the map sensor from forge, that now sits above the pancake pipe behind drivers side wheel arch.

Got any pics pal? I'm interested in going down the custom(-ish) route!

 

[Cowie]

will check mate not sure if there's any on this pc

 

[G1NG3R]

yeah i'd like to see too. you got a link to the pipe kit you got.? so what original pipes did you keep..???

 

[Cowie]

only OE pipes kept was the hose from throttle body down to OE intercooler and from the pancake pipe back to charge pipe,tho i'd like to get rid of that pancake pipe as its just gotta be a restriction.

 

[G1NG3R]

so could you not have kept the map sensor where it was.? this is how i was thinking about doing mine.? did you notice much differance.??

 

[wayne lcr]

do it like sams lol.

 

[G1NG3R]

hahaha cut all my bumper off.???
