Nice work! Only did mine a week ago on my LCR and the car has got a bit better everyday as it's adapted.

Feels quicker, pulls harder and doesn't wana tail off so easy up the range now. Also the DV is louder aswell I've noticed. All of which I like..

No mate,sorry :( had a lot of pissing about with getting the IC the right height,it just and so sat behind crash barrier,as top outlet was close to rad steelwork,any lower and bumper wouldnt go back on:(
pleased with outcome in the end though,and power seems a lot better higher up the rev range.

hi mate i got the forge map sensor pipe,which is way too long,i cut it down to around 5-6 inch long and fitted it below the hose that goes to the throttle body, just and so had enough play on the map sensor wiring to manage to do it,so its basically behind the wheel arch cover,think when this shitty weather goes am gonna take bumper off and replace a couple of the metal elbows with silicone to give a little more flex in the pipework, a couple of the bends were really tight together with the metal ones and i dont think i have the best fit possible really.

mate i've never really messed with cars before but after reading up and following a guide i decided to have a go myself, i'd say was a 6 out of 10 lol for difficulty,mainly due to the piping kit i bought as it was all metal elbows 90's and 45's,and with it being a twin pass FMIC there aint a lot of room to play with,am gonna redo some/most of it with silicon elbows i think soon.

FMIC is my next job but it will have to wait till next year, waiting for the new miltek to arrive full turbo back should be nice, also fitted ap coilovers and replaced the front wishbones hubs and front arb and a new rear arb, cant wait to get it back on the road again.

Wayne the tax disk can go anywhere on the left hand side of the screen mine is top left and perfectly leagal.

cool man, im the same, never really had a go myself until i bought the cupra, now im attempting bits and bobs and i think il have a go at fitting mine, how come you bought the seperate piping kit, the toyo comes with one doesnt it?

cowie, what size intercooler did you get? and is it a tight fit behind the crash bar?

If it is toyo that cowie's bought the size is 420x160x85 with 64mm inlet/outlet :D
