Heres mine, got the bits myself from local motorsport place. just made the dv a bit more responsive and louder as its nearer the grill. this pic was a good while ago though...more blue pipes now and i bit tidyer!

i think forge should think about getting one made for our car as i think it would sell well,

i think alot of people with split-r valve would buy one just because it would make it that bit louder because the dv would be very near the front grill

Just to add, B3NPM_Cupra's dv is only louder after fitting the kit due to it being a split R which vents air from the valve itself. Switching to cold side with a recirc valve will make it quieter as it vents back through the air filter.

would us people buy a kit if there was one for our car?

i know it can be made up, but i think it just looks alot nicer with it being the proper kit

I dont get what you mean, the forge one isnt car specific. Its generic.

Its a metal t-piece for the intercooler pipe, 25mm superflex tubing, 25mm 90 degree plastic elbow and jubilees with vac hoses. Aint worth the money or the time, effort and gains, if there are any.

Oh yeah, you cant fit one if you have a forge FMIC. The elbow/pipe off the inlet manifold isnt long or straight enough to get a T-piece into it.

They sell those already. iirc its a 60mm t-piece, the peipe for the DV will be 25mm on the t-pieces anyway.

So its easy to make a kit.
