interior looking very nice now mate!! great upgrade! how much bigger is the cupra tdi intake make much diffrence ?? with my forge r.v you can hardley hear the it recirculating but on some of your vids you can hear it quite loud ?? spose the 160 intake makes it louder dont think the full milltek helps matters in hearing it

 

[gazjones]

its the same as yours both cupra's have it just tdi one is more opular and easier to find on parts cat! ive bypassed my 249 valve and dv sound is loud now

 

[gazjones]

yes interior is looking better just need to get rear bits now but the back ordr has struck again

 

[rashcupra]

good old back order hey!!! how do you bypas the 249 valve ??? pics

 

[gazjones]

erm there is a thread in the mk3 section with pics
not got any of mine though no performance gain and i can change it back in seconds

 

[rashcupra]

just would be nice to have a bit of noise from it thats all? had a look on the searchy but the pics dont make much sense can you not see the 249 valve on any of the pics abouve or could you give me a clue where bouts it is??

 

[gazjones]

you have two pies coimnig off the top of the inlet manifold, one goes to the fuel pressure reg ( round brass thing) the other goes into a t piece. the pipe coming off the t piece goes into the n249 valve. this valve also has other pipe going in the back. and one coming out of it to the dv. remove the pipe going to the dv at the n249 and remove the pipe going to the 249 from the t piece join these with conetcor in line sort. thats the first bit, this way saves removing pipes from t peice i brok my t pice trying to this lol.
next bit is to run a pipe from the back of the non return valve, this is located just after the t piece, this valve has a pipe going into a right angle conector remove the pipe from the right angle conector and get some new vac hose and another connector, then you will see another valve like the 249 at the back of the engine bay. remove the hose that joines into the frame of pipe that connects to the vac chamber. and attach hose from the connetor you installed on to this
sounds complicated but if you look at the pics of my red hosing you will se what im meaning

 

[rashcupra]

so in the pics abouve is the n249 valve not been bypased? will be able to do the first bit easy will need to look at my engine to see what you mean on the second bit how much 3mm pipe do you need (length!) beacause ive got some 3mm vacume pipes knocking about might do it now??

 

[gazjones]

not much lenth from other valve to the pipe of the back of then non return about 15cm i would say

 

[rashcupra]

so where the pics not the same as they are now! ^^^ might give it a go now cheers mate!

 

[gazjones]

the pic ive posted are normal one ive just taken pic of it done will load up now

 

[rashcupra]

fantastic leg-end

 

[gazjones]

this is it give an idea whee things go but i think conecting the dv hose to the one going to the 249 is better for doing it quick at this time of night

 

[rashcupra]

il give it a go now thanks again gaz!

 

[mpm1987]

looking good gaz,

should have just brought a cupra, lol!!!

all you need now is some lowering springs

 

[rashcupra]

gave the vacume hose rearrangement a go but was a bit foggy on the hoses that run into the back of the n249 valve and there is a black rubber hose type thing going into the back wasnt sure about that might give it anouther go today before the crawley meet

 

[gazjones]

shocks and springs lol but im still about on par with same age standard cupra price so i look at it that way lol

 

[Cupra_Jay]

car is looking good gaz. 2 questions though, none bad

1. with the vacuum hosing you have changed, have you had your engine management light come on at all? have changed the same hoses as you and my light came on exactyl a week to the day that i chanegd the hoses?? and,

2. would lanking off the n249 valve make the standard dump valve any loudre or would it only work with an upgraded dump valve?

 

[gazjones]

no light everything is fine but dont do it with standard dv this is a protection for the standard dv as the are prone to splitting and only really benificial to remapped cars to get a sound

 

[rashcupra]

gaz gave it a go last night obviously the 1st bit is really easy but am confused on this bit could you word it diffrently mate because am really wanting to do this before it gets dark tar!

"next bit is to run a pipe from the back of the non return valve, this is located just after the t piece, this valve has a pipe going into a right angle conector remove the pipe from the right angle conector and get some new vac hose and another connector, then you will see another valve like the 249 at the back of the engine bay. remove the hose that joines into the frame of pipe that connects to the vac chamber. and attach hose from the connetor you installed on to this"
