AndrewJB's Mk2 Leon FR 2.0 16V TDI "Der Rote Baron"

[AndrewJB]

I would say get it done! If things go wrong then,Get it undone and take it back to dealer


I was toying with the idea of getting the FR550 flag sticker from rear badge and putting that behind the TDI Badge but i didnt

The i was going to leave the FR Badge and stick the TDI Badge under it but the Red of the FR Badge is different to the TDI Badge red so just took it off

 

[Wellsy]

Ye you picked the right choice to me! Very true...time to start saving!

 

[AndrewJB]

Best Option to go for is the full works

Milltek Cat-Back,Milltek DPF Removal,Panel Filter and the Remap

 

[White_Lady_170]

You say Milltek "cat-Back" but where does this actually begin? Where is the cat in the original exhaust? If you already have the DPF removal downpipe does the cat-back system replace everything from the next piece of pipe after the downpipe onwards? Sorry if thats a silly question but im just trying to get my head round TBE and cat-back etc etc...

 

[AndrewJB]

The Cat Back system starts where a normal Cat would be on a TDI,However on the PD170's the Cat is Part of the DPF so its abit different

Theres an image somewhere that explains it all il try find it

 

[White_Lady_170]

Check my progress thread with the picture of the DPF, the cat must be the smaller one of the 2 boxes on that piece of pipe so that means the Milltek downpipe removes the DPF and has its own cat therefore id assume a "cat-back" system would run from linking to the downpipe straight back to the tailpipes...?

 

[AndrewJB]

One of these

And one of these

Will be going on soon!

Forge Motorsport Quickshifter & Forge Motorsport Side Short Shifter

 

[White_Lady_170]

fitted yet?

 

[AndrewJB]

Nope forge sent me the correct parts to fit it to a 07-Onwards car but haven't got round to it

Think it will have to be after inters now

 

[AndrewJB]

Pictures from my Recent Detailing session by aSpire to Detail can be found here


Secondly in preparation for GTI International i decided it was necessary to loose some weight from the car

I also decided to brighten her up abit with a lick of paint

When i get The Cupra 345mm brakes i will have them properly done and at same time Rears will also be sanded down and done properly but for now they will do

 

[cap r 225]

Getting seriouse now Andy!

Good work fella

 

[AndrewJB]

Tyres next on Monday then Brakes

And then comes saving for the Stage 3 package which is still in development at moment


Will have to have a summer meet soon Wayne

 

[cap r 225]

Yeah, we've been really lazy actually haven't we!

I'll sort it!

 

[White_Lady_170]

The detail looks sweet mate, guys did a great job on her.

 

[AndrewJB]

Yeh its dusty again at the moment and covered in soot and fly's

But will be washed saturday morning at GTI International and then Mat is going to do something else with it not sure what he said he's applying

 

[AndrewJB]

Ventured up to AwesomeGTI Today as my Mate was Having a R32 Milltek fitted to his MK5 Golf GT TDI so i decided to go for a drive and see him so i took a few pics

 

[AndrewJB]

 

[CupraMVR]

lookin mint mate hope your mate is happy

 

[AndrewJB]

Yeh he is just it isnt as loud as he was expecting but i think thats due to him still having the standard downpipe
Al had a look at that missing Exhaust rubber and it doesnt appear on the ETKA diagram

 

[Georgel]

DPF looks good! Have to say your original torque figure has to be wrong though, surely?
