Hey, long time lurker but rarely post as I find alot of what I need to know from other threads.. but I've got a couple of questions that I'm hoping someone can help and give me advice on, as my knowledge when it comes to cars is dog poo to be honest.

She's a leon cupra r amk on stage 2, running around 290bhp

Can anyone tell me how I can tidy up the area with the brake servo hose?.. as someone has already blanked off the secondary outlet on the jet pump, am I right in thinking I could just add a one way valve, fresh hose and bin the jet pump completely?

On the other side.. does anyone know the parts I'd need to replace this section?

I work at a spray shop, so was thinking of powdercoating the hard pipes to tidy them up if I can't source new parts.

Excuse the messy bay, im slowly working my way around tidying up everything.. cam cover, inlet manifold, throttle body and charge pipe, brackets etc will all be powdercoated soon.

Was thinking on getting a catch can fitted also, as I've just had an airtec intercooler fitted and other parts that collect oil will be cleaned

Any help or advice on what to do, or can do with other areas will be appreciated lads

Ta
Gary

I binned the entire vacuum pump bit and just have one hose with a check valve running to the rest of the hard lines to the servo. I am planning on getting some length of hose to run it all the way to the servo. I believe @Sl1ced has done this

thanks mate, ill take a look

i got another question unrelated to this, which you might know.. on the brembo calipers theres 4 allen head bolts that hold them together, any idea what the torque settings are when putting the 2 halves back together?

Yeah my AUQ I binned the pipe going behind the engine and ran silicone the other way. I’ll do some pics tomorrow if I remember
