Is this the a correctly done N249 bypass?

[kriso]

So you need an extra T-Piece for the N249 bypass then I take it?

Tjena, tjena Boffe!

We aliens tend to write a lot more correctly than the UK natives... (Or is the word correct? Yeah, I can feel something biting...)

By the way, you don't need to buy parts locally, do you? The beauty of the net, you know.

And a metal dv.

 

[kriso]

yep I have that part Will try and pick one up today then, thanks.

Anyone know where to get vacuum hose T-Pieces from? Can't find them on the Forge site

Edit: Doesn't matter - phoned Forge and they are going to post me one

 

[rashcupra]

you dont need 1 you can just re-use the old 1

 

[kriso]

But you need another vacuum hose?

 

[rashcupra]

yer will need a longish piece of vac hose to go to the recirculating valve off the manifold

 

[kriso]

Ok I think I get it now. Connect top of recirculating valve straight to to middle of existing T-piece and then connect top of non-return valve to N75 instead of the lower black tube.

Have ordered some vacuum tubing so will have to wait for it to arrive

 

[rashcupra]

yep thats sound correct simple really but doesmake a nice diffrence drive it without the bypass when you fit your 007 r.v and then when bypassed see if you can feel/hear the diffrence

 

[kriso]

I have the 007P fitted but part of me wants it a bit louder but not in a chav way

It is quite jerky atm, really sensitive throttle on acceleration and lift off, but has had a new MAF fitted since remap so might be part of it.

 

[rashcupra]

oh yeah just bypass it as soon as the vac hosing turns up then mate it does make it a bit louder the bypass but the best mod to imo on making the recirculating valve louder and the turbo spool up quicker is the t.i.p!

 

[kriso]

The tip is on the shopping list! But its a bugger to fit from what I've read and especailly in this weather...

 

[mattcogg1981]

Never heard of this mod before - can someone explain it please?

 

[rashcupra]

only on the 1.8t 20v

 

[kriso]

Just done this on my car. Was quite easy and can hear a bit of noise when lifting off now. Hope it doesn't sound too chavvy from the outside

 

[R1ch85]

do you need a metal dv to do this or can you get away with the original?

I'm undecided on whether to get a forge splitter or a 007p... if i can get a bit of noise with a 007p then ill save a bit of money and get that instead of the splitter.

 

[rashcupra]

the forge 007p with this mod will give off a lil noise but not noticable with musicon quite as its not a LOUD noise but you MUST have an uprated reciculating valve to do this as the valve you are bypassing is thevalve thsat protects the standard shite 1!!!

 

[R1ch85]

i see.. looks like ill be getting a 007p in the new year then! Dont want it loud enough to be heard above music, just loud enough to be heard inside without music thanks for the info

 

[kriso]

I've got a used black one for sale mate It has a couple of small scratches on top but I have the service kit with new O-rings, grease and piston which it doesn't really need but it will make it as good as new.

You can def hear it without music depending on how many revs u change gear at. Not really with music..its just the right loudness imo.
