Direnza/Toyosports Front mount fitting on AUQ questions

[leoncupra2012]

Ive just bought one of these kits off ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151454930047?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Im just confused with how it works or fits?

I dont want to take my car to bits and then be left with a head scratcher

Is there any guide or instructions anywhere? Every guide ive found is for Forge coolers, or Leon Cupra R, Skoda VRS etc, nothing for fitting one of these to an AUQ ?

Cheers

It will work, cant comment on fitting. I have the toyosports kit, which is almost identical (was delivered with smaller FMIC). I swapped the smaller FMIC with bigger unit (via ASH) before I went stage 2. Looks the same size.

I found this as reference back in the day

I saw that diagram.. but my kit only has 4 pipes...

why dont you ask them for a fitting guide

 

[leoncupra2012]

They dont come with one?

 

[Hobbiniho]

well there will only be 1 way that it can go, theres 2 pipes that can only go in one place and thats the one with the map sensor and the one for the dump valve, and going from the diagram above its fairly obvious where the other ones go

 

[leoncupra2012]

I thought the dumpvalve connected to the TIP pipe? im confused as hell, guess il jus have to strip it and go from there, shame nobodys done a guide, might try do one.

DV top is mistaken info, that hose should be going to N75. DV Bottom is correct, DV works both ways. Also where your kit has less pieces, they follow the same route.

This isnt rocket science

 

[leoncupra2012]

right ive got this in bits.. but the top pipe that goes to the back of the engine, ive got 2 connections on the pipe thats coming off th standard pipe but with my aftermarket kit theres only one connection, so where does the other go?

 

[leoncupra2012]

This didnt go well at all, ive put up a thread about it, basically I have 4 pipes, one goes from the throttle body down to the left connection on the intercooler, correct? this pipe has the map sensor hole in it so i know its the correct pipe.

Then there is 3 other pieces which go from the top of the turbo, over the engine and down to the right hand connection on the intercooler.

Trouble number 1 - The pipe that runs from the throttlle body down to the intercooler is the wrong shape or has the wrong bends, if i put one end on the throttle body, the other end is pointing inwards into the engine, tried it other ways but it doesnt work

Trouble number 2 - the pipe that comes off the turbo at the back should have two connections on it, like the standard metal pipe at the back there does. One for the dumpvalve hose and one for the thinner N75 hose, but my pipe with the kit only has one connection on it for the dumpvalve hose?

Trouble number 3 - the pipe which goes down the front of the engine to the right hand connection on the intercooler its like this pipe should bend left but it just points straight to the floor?

I have silicone joiners in the kit but thats all they are, they are not bend pieeces?

This is the kit I got, had Direnza on the packaging it came in

The cupra I had before had one of these on it apparently, but is very different?

Can anyone tell me if what ive recieved is correct?

They told me theyd sold several of these this year and this is the first theyve heard of issues with them not fitting?

Annoyed took it all apart, had to put it back together, now the front bumper wont go on the sides properly. does my nut in.

 

[leoncupra2012]

What im looking for really is to be told which pipe connects to what

Obviously the map sensor pipe runs from left side of cooler to the throttle body

Then the pipe with the connector on it goes on top of the turbo, where does the pipe with the long bracket go and where does the final bigger pipe go? cant work out which joins to what.

 

[Hobbiniho]

surely the way you have it laid out is the way it goes? do you have any pictures of what is not fitting?

 

[leoncupra2012]

What i didnt know was the black hose from the throttle body stays on it! you connect the pipe with the map sensor onto that !!

Got it done in 2 hours, broke my map sensor, put the drill through my air con rad, but its fitted. Just need T piece for N75 to dvalve hose, couple of jubilee clips, map sensor and hack back of front bumper off to get it fitted back on.

I brought exactly the same kit as you. The trouble I had was the cold pipe touching the back of the light and The top hot side pipe from turbo didn't have the n75 port. I have my cooler mounted the other way up as the pipes sat better for me. Apart from I snapped the bracket on the hot side.

 

[leoncupra2012]

Not sure how youve routed your passenger side pipe? have u got a photo? the bottom rad hose got in the way have to force it up between that and another pipe was a real struggle, it does kind of look better the way youve done it but i couldnt get the pass side pipe to sit any lower and it was pinned hard against the front panel took some effort to get it on the cooler and done up

Had no issues with the headlight, just loosen the top clip on the throttle body push the light in then do the clip back up

and how the hell do u get the front bumper on without scratching the headlights?! how much did u trim off?

 

[scott180]

Scratching the lights? I had a mate helping to refit the bumper.

This is the only other image I have at the moment. But can take some pics tomorrow if you want then?
Honestly can't remember fitting the passenger side pipes at all

 

[leoncupra2012]

yeh if u could mate underneath o the pass side where your pass side intercooler hose joins the one that comes over the engine? cheers

i mean like you cant get the bumper in place to slide it on cause the headlights get in the way? and ive jus fly eyed my headlights dont want to scratch the film off

 

[scott180]

These I had when I first fitted it. It's dirty tho not that you can see much anyway

Pipe does sit on the lower rad hose tho but hasn't caused me any problems. Looks like it's deformed the rad hose but it is still ok.

 

[leoncupra2012]

ahh i see youve squashed your bottom rad hose, mines gone underneath it to prevent from doing that.

just cut the fog mountings out the back of the bumper, stanley knife and heat gun, heat it up so its like butter then breeze though it with the knife, just left the mounting on where it bolts to the car. gonna try put it back on tomorow, but its got to come off again to fit the map sensor and when i get more film to do the left light..

cheers mate
