You may cover it, but not neccessary. If you use any kind of cap/cover make sure it is not clogged/closed completely, otherwise the combi valve (and wastegate on ibizas) will stay opened!
got it all finished on friday night, car feels a lot smoother and more responsive. The lag seems to be reduced a fair bit aswell.
i can see the engine now, i just need to make a wee box for the resistor board.
i'll try and get some pics up soon.

You can use any number of resistors, just make sure they give 30Ohms and min 20W overall. There may be big load 30Ohms resistors readily available, just ask the clerk at the local electronics shop.
UPDATE: Last weekend i checked my codes and had an N249 open circuit - intermittent, but no CEL. Checked the wires in the N249 plug and one was dodgy fit, so i fixed it. Maybe a small brass plate soldered to the wires and inserted into the original N249 plug would serve a more reliable solution.

Yes, i like it! good free modification!! (work donated all the stuff!! LOL)
i used 5 150 ohms resistiors as that's all i could find but the do the job!
Pics will be up soon once i find my camera, brother took it on holiday and i haven't seen it since!

The only "drawback" was a thrown code caused by a faulty connection of the resistors (as stated above), but fixed it easily and it is fine since then.

None that i've noticed, no codes etc. Plus it clear away all the black plastic sh*t on top on the engine.

Im determined to do this when I get off me fat @ss, Will try and do a bolt on kit too, Im off for a week now so hopefully will have alot of things sorted and rdy for kits
