LCR one will fit with a 90 degree reducer 60 - 51 I think it was on the turbo side.
Then a 90 degree down the wing on the left. NOTE: you will need a smaller whiper fluid reservoir (donno what its called in english). Get one from a golf 2. I just fitted mine last saturday.
I am doing the same as danny, except I'm welding it all, so no silicone in the bay (on charge pipe that is).

the only thing i see with the lcr one is by the turbo it has a larger silincer looking bit thats the only thing putting me off as dont know what u have to do with that bit. and its a washer fluid bottle in english mate .
thats the reason why I ended up not going for the LCR pipe.
I bought that then opted against it.
just ran out to the garage to take a pic of the 2
LCR pipe:
(excuse the mess)
then what I'm working on:
90 degree 60mm bend in which I drilled 2 holes. 1 8mm 1 25mm.
You will need to buy 2 hose connectors in those same sizes. 1 for N75 1 for your dumpvalve.
Then stick 2 90 degree bends on the those, and get welding.

the lcr one im thinking may be cut that bit off and try weld a extention bit on posibly how much u pay for the lcr pipe mate .... also just been reading your reader ride danny and you done loads mate changed nearly every thing its taken me age to read your pages 30 plus ...
Yup ive replaced nearly everything...Enjoyed it too..
How wide is the LCR charge Pipe Mines 63mm ID...Same with my Throttle bodie side too
yes, if you use the LCR one, I would cut off the muffler. Most do. I would because my k03s is also silenced. no point in 2.
As for welding a pipe on that, I'm pretty sure you;ll never get it polished quite the same as the rest. LCR pipe is thicker metal. the other pipes will be aluminum. Also, the lcr pipe comes in a coating so quite some work to polish.
LCR pipe here in Netherlands costs 90 euro's without the brackets.
3 90 degree aluminum bends: 45 euro's. 8mm and 25mm nipple: 6 euro's. Welding: time or possibly 30 euro's.
up to you
Danny, LCR is 60mm outside
yeah you got to love the mk3s there great danny, reuvers how much is 90 euros in pounds mate and would u consider selling the lcr pipe
Think i got offered a Lcr one on ebay for £60 posted...
