god hope its not that bad well like i said to bill access has got to be better than parts of our helicopters.

 

[Funkyfin2000]

hehehehe access is awful....it would be MUCH easier if on a lift or on a pit but theres no room and no leverage room at all...

we aborted to play it safe and get the garage to do it.....

gonna get a black Split R put on too

 

[Forbez]

LOL not alot of room in there at all.

 

[chrisbond69]

ill have to show some of the areas on the helicopter we have to wirelock and bolt up etc, blind is not the world just wish i was double jointed

 

[B3NPM_Cupra]

it really is a pain in the but **...took me and a friend 3 hours to fit it without triming it at all...worth the effort tho.

 

[chrisbond69]

cool cool cant wait.

 

[Funkyfin2000]

cool cool cant wait.

ayeeeeeee friday be on

 

[nick-barnes07]

mine took me ages as well , took me and a mate over 2 hours on a ramp , the one bolt on the turbo was the hardest bit to get of , got the first 2 out and jemmied the last one of

 

[Funkyfin2000]

yeah think il just pay £30 for midvw to do it!

heheheheh

if the car was higher it would be easier...

 

[cuprabaz]

First time took me about an hour cause i had to remove at the standard sh*te but i do them in 20 mins now.

 

[Rick1.8t]

Let us know how much it costs from mid Vw, there local to me too (i had my service and tracking done there) and i wouldnt mind getting a tip, if its cheap enough ill get them to do it as it does look like a right royal pain.

 

[Funkyfin2000]

yeah no worries pal, will get a price on friday will get a Split R fitted too!

anyone want a forge 007? only 6 months old or so!

 

[Havok316]

I attempted it but again failed, dont have enough space to jack the car up lol so im taking it to a garage

 

[T7ODD]

lol even I got as far as squeezing under the car and removing everything....

It's just I couldn't get the new TIP on

I had to put it back together again and take it to the garage pmsl.
Cars are a waste of time when you don't have all the gear.

 

[Funkyfin2000]

yup! exactly...

bloody nitemare....

 

[Havok316]

i got all the tools n everything but unable to jack the car up lol

 

[deanrankin85]

i didnt think this was too difficult, the one capscrew into the turbo was the easiest to remove! just jack the car up and its quite easy to see.

then remove the airbox and remove the pin to the metal water pipe bracket and the other pin is under the inlet manifold (very hard to see). once the old pipe is off n out the way, get someone to hold the metal water pipe out of the way and then the forge TIP should quite easily go on t the turbo!

 

[Funkyfin2000]

Well its on and dusted!

Bit of a job for mivw but its all on and dusted for £60!

Pleased with it, makes my 007 noisy ish again as it had gone quiet when i put the boost gauge in to the vac line....bit noisy again and turbo is noisier i think

Also seems quicker too but could be the mind playing tricks

Cheers guys very pleased and its black so it is nice and subtle under the bonnet

Fitted mine lastnight, jacked it up on drive,took me about an hour n a half. Not bad for some1 that works in a call centre lol
