Hey guys and gals,bit of help required if I can because TPS arnt being much help.ive got a cupra 180 that I'm currently fitting a gt28rs to,the issue I've got is I've fitted a BAM inlet manifold to my AUQ engine and the brake servo pipe now is on the wrong side off the manifold,so I thought I'd be clever and rung Tps today to order a new servo pipe for a cupra r so the pipe then becomes on the right side,so Tps have now told me there's two different pipes depending on age of car of a cupra r(guessing weather it's amk or bam) but there both completely different and now I don't now what one I need the older amk version(my car being a 03 plate) or a bam version?and weather I still use the old brake booster pipe that the cupra has or is it not needed??
The other reason I need to do this mod is to move the servo pipe from the bulkhead away from the top mounted turbo and to run it down past the cambelt cover.
Please please please help me guys

If you need a Brake servo pipe try DEUTSCH CAR PARTS
AUDI S3 BRAKE SERVO PIPE TT CUPRA R BAM ENGINE MK1 £25.00 on e bay was going to buy it my self but not swapping my manifold over on my AUQ for a while yet , rods to be done first . have you had any difficulty making the wiring loom stretch from the map sensor or is there plenty of wire left.

Not going to stretch them because want the bay to look tidy so going to extend them,and do a little wire hiding to keep it lookin minimal aswell.i mite be ordering one of these pipe later,I think ive got to get a booster pipe that goes under the manifold but for the bam engine because mine exits thought the manifold to the right side,I think.........lol

I fitted the LCR inlet mani a few years ago and removed the LC hose from the master cylender (It just pulls out and pushes back in) and fitted a silicon hose and ran it down the same route as the LCR one, you need to fit the one way valve, i have now since fitted the S3 hose which does look better than the LCR one. You dont need the booster as long as you have the feed from the main pipe coming from the mani, (The S3 only has the one feed)

You dont need to extend the wiring, its folded double, all you need to do is cut of the wrapping, unfold the wiring then re-wrap job done.
