Leon ATP GTRS Eliminator install

[Feel]

Done any more?

I missed your post last week - been wondering all week how you got on.

Inlet fouling gearbox is a bit... shite.

Is that other guy (with the 550's) on a five speed box then? myk3?

 

[m0rk]

it's ok - have had a thought on resolve & that's to rotate the housing a tiny bit....

 

[Revo Kev]

Inlet fouled the gearbox housing, yet didn't foul the manifold bolt... rotating the housing solves one issue and the smaller button end allen bolt and a grinder solve the other (as most others have done!)
Apparantley it's normal to have to rotate them, although I've never read of anyone else having that problem.

After some time out for various reasons it was finally fitted (about 8 times) with various things needing to be trimmed & fixed. ******* tight job, and everything 'nearly' fits, now it's got about 2mm clearance........

Needs the coolant & oil lines fully connecting & then it'll be time for a test idle I think

Have you moved the metal water pipe that runs close to the compressor inlet?

 

[m0rk]

yeah, removed the rubber pipe, and just nursed the metal one out the way for now, until I can work out where to route the TIP

 

[DPJ]

Does the compressor inlet sit in roughly the same position as that of the K03S, Mark?

not quite living up to the thread title,but looking the part now.

roughly.... same plain, but just more over the gearbox rather than being able to see it from under the car

 

[Ruddmeister]

Good to see pics of this coming together

Typical example of a mistitled thread.

Leon ATP GTRS Eliminator install would be more appropriate...

 

[m0rk]

renamed it - it took me ages to actually find it

Mark, have read through the whole post but not quite sure about whether it's the 3 inch big bore inlet you've fitted with the GTRS to a 6 speed or not....?

Well done though mate - no such thing as a bolt on turbo conversion....

It's the 2.5" step-down version - 3" would no way fit on my car given the v.tight fit of the 2.5

It's been difficult to pin Mark down coz of all the travelling he's been doing in the week to some place Shropshire way

Is that the oval inlet that has the gearlinkage bracket mount points on the top?

 

[m0rk]

that's the one....

 

[DPJ]

that's the one....

I think there's still a problem with the GTRS and 6 speed on that, isn't there?

 

[Feel]

Yep. Doesn't fit (like the turbo does )

 

[m0rk]

yeah, sure is....

the 2.5" isn't much of a step down to the inlet anyway, so it's barely a restriction as it is.

will have to get creative to miss all the gubbins on the box (god I wish it was rod change)
