Just won the bidding on the black powder coated one on ebay anyway, so will get that in the blaster at work as soon as it arrives, then get it polished up next time i'm on nights!

cool, how much did that set you back? i won a spare a while ago for £26 including the silicone elbow from the turbo. i was going to have the silencer removed and a fresh bit of metal tubing welded in instead but at the moment i can't really be bothered to go around local factories/metal workers to see if they'd be interested in doing it for me.

Got it for £36 in the end. I've decided that i might have trouble stripping the powder coat back, so i will temporarily fit it to mine while i polish my original one, then i'll sell the black one on.

I saw that one, fromthe pics i doubt its powder coated as it looks as if all the paints chipped off and been re painted. Will make a nice one to polish up tho

I had some hope in me that it wasn't actually powder coated, but sometimes its very hard to tell from the pics that some people put up. It doesn't look a good finish at all, but chances are, when it arrives, it'll be the hardest goddamn stuff this side of diamond!!

You can get the polishing kit from ebay and do it whilst its on the car or just whip it off, wont take more than a few hours. A few people have done it now.

Yeah sods law its harder!

the main reason tho to change this pipe is to remove the silencer on it, id suggest you remove it on your spare and weld it up inside while ur at it

For me, the main reason to change mine is to get a polished one on there. I'm not really bothered by the silencer tbh, so it may as well stay. May be in the future i'll change my mind, but for now, i'll just polish it.

i think there is some sort of charge pipe for the LC. there must be something connecting the turbo to the intercooler.

is the charge pipe only on the LCR?

That one only fits the lcr. on the cupra the pipe follows a different route, down the back of the engines and around between the pulleys and the offside wheel to the smic.

Bought it off ebay for......

Got it for £36 in the end.

Selling in the for sale section for......

Looking for around £90.

I know they are highly sought after but thats an incredible mark up:blink:

You only won this a few weeks ago on ebay, why you selling so quick?

I suppose if someone else is desperately after this modified charge pipe, then they may pay that:)

Looks like you got a bargain Mitchy!! ;)

How are you finding it? Did you polish it, or is that a picture of someone elses?
