Jetex filter/n249 advice

[Ricki]

Hey folks! Long time lurker here, think I made a few posts a few months ago!

Anyway, I've now owned my Mk1 Leon Cupra 180 for about 7 months and Love it! It's time to do some mods.

I was informed by the previous owner that is remapped to around 205bhp...I have no way of knowing this, but for now I want to do some engine and performance modifications and then I'll have it on a rolling road to see what the Map situation is.

I've just bought a Forge 007p barely used for £50 from someone local, just been serviced and greased ready to go. I've also ordered a Jetex Cone and some silicone vacuum tubing (4mm?) for when I feel brave enough to attempt the N249 Bypass

Question is, will I need an elbow for the Jetex filter? Or will it fit quite nicely as it is...I know there are some issues with dust ingress/heatsoak etc but I'll tackle that once It's on (Any suggestions?)

Also, I've found most of the N249 Guides for the AUQ engine a bit confusing...can anyone point me in the direction of a really straight forward guide, possibly with pictures? I know what I'm doing with most things in a car - but as this is my first Turbo engine I don't want to mess anything up concerning the aspiration system.

Thanks for any help and advice guys!

N249 guide by mc bot titled the correct way to do it is awesome loads pix and takes 20 mins tops, the forge is a great buy but as for the cone filter I'm not a fan of them I believe the airbox with a better cold air feed and good quality panel filter will serve the car better

Hi mate, you'd be best off using the Jetex with a Heatshield I'd imagine but apart from that I believe it'll sit flush as it is

With regards to the N249 bypass, This is the guide I'll use

Great! That guide with the step by step pictures looks fairly simple to follow

Will I need anything more other than a metre of 4mm Vacuum hose? (Haven't fully read through the guide just yet)

 

[markpile]

No mate a metre is plenty you will have loads left over, and you will be amazed at all the pipework you take off just remember to make sure you clip the oil dipstick tube back on and plug the resistors back in once all the hosing is off, read the guide fully a few times look at the engine bay and familiarise yaself but is pass easy if you follow his guide

Excellent! Soon as the hose, filter and 007p is in hand i'll do the whole lot at once.
