Pretty simple tbh, as long as you've got all the correct gauge wires and fittings. Battery box also needed, but really simple from what I've read. Why do you ask?

If I move the battery to the rear or even if I can get hold of a smaller battery it'll give me more space to create a more direct air flow for the induction kit as oppose to this

Easy job to relocate to the boot mate. I reckon that you could even use the original battery box with some nuts and bolts. Get some correct gauge wire and battery fixings and we can have a go at it next week if you like?

Legend, although seriously I don't always intend to pop round to yours to make you work
Who's the sucker
Do you know what you need buddy? Not sure if there's a guide on here...
This the one: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=334161&highlight=Battery+relocation+guide
Excellent guide mate, and easy to follow. Parts also listed. Happy days. Looking forward to doing this. Always wanted to do mine but there's no room in the boot...

Exactly what you need mate. 5 metres of 0Amp gauge wire should be long enough. It seems that is the most expensive bit. I have the o-ring connectors and 8 gauge wire already
Would you recommend getting a battery cage just incase or should the tray/holder come out from the engine bay?
Where is it going to be fitted? In the spare wheel well or actually in the boot? The original battery box, if like mine, will be fitted with 4 bolts. If in the spare wheel well, we can drill and bolt it, matching how its fitted in the bay. If its in the main bit of the boot and you want a bit of bling then get a cage. Up to you mate
Nah mate it'll be in the wheel well, also is this any good for the cabling

That seems fine, although there's cheaper on eBay.
Buy what? Any of it?
No I mean I'm a bit tight on money so what I've got withdrawn is my allowance for the month lol, so don't want to end up spending loads on my card. Lol trying to be a sensible adult and setting limits

Oh right. I can always order it off eBay for you and you just give me the cash. I reckon I've got the 8 gauge wire in the shed. I can check tomorrow. Up to you though mate. If you can't do it next week, we can do it another time. I'm happy to help anyway I can
That'd be great as like you said ebays cheaper and I'll give you the cash on Friday, basically I've set a limit of £60 so if push comes to shove like I said I've got my card but it's an emergency backup
No worries mate. I reckon I've got everything in the shed bar the 0 gauge, distributor and terminals for the battery. I'll have a look tomorrow mate and get back to you
I used 0 gauge on my mk3 mucka. I read stories of people using 4 gauge and having trouble starting the car afterwards.
I brought an amp kit as it had everything I needed and long enough.
