charge pipe relocation

[fourtwofive]

ive got myself a small washer bottle and im looking at getting the charge pipe moved down the drivers side i have forge fmic. my question is does this have to be custom made?
i have searched seems everyone has custom ones...

 

[Ibiza125]

Use the leon one?

 

[fourtwofive]

i had a look at the leon ones seems to have a silencer on it looks crap. im looking for the least amount of joins. have you done this mod mate?

 

[Ibiza125]

No but I have thought about it before. If you are wanting the least amount of joins then customs the only way you can go really.

 

[fourtwofive]

ok cheers mate im going to look into a custom one.

 

[Bowen]

i (dave i mean) made it using ebay pipes etc.

Kits are available from ebay but try to get one with decent silicone and you'll still need to buy better clamps. I also advise you get the pipes bead rolled once everything is mocked up.

As for the washer bottle:

Plenty of these available on ebay for around a tenner, just 1.2L

i used a mk4 golf washer bottle. if you look in the pic i posted in your chargepipe question last week dale

 

[fourtwofive]

thanks guys much held as always. ive gone for the ebay 1.2l bottle now pipe hunting

 

[Bowen]

if you buy from ebay, remember to buy better silicone joiners etc.

 

[fourtwofive]

i have to put this mod on hold now as i just got myself some coilovers. im so bad with money..

i used the MK4 Golf bottle with 3L volume too. thats cheap. i have mine from ebay for only 10€

here a pic of these

im in the middle of doing this to i got my mk4 golf washer bottle for 3 quid from a scrap yard bargin, and got off ebay a intercooler pipe pollished 90deg for 20 quid and just ordered a 90deg reducer for the turbo 63mm to 51mm, how do people get on with the horn thing down the wing do you have to move it some where.

 

[DaleGT]

yer mate iam going to be moving my horn

chris_200120vt cheers mate

 

[Robbie C]

Pages 10 and 11 of my build thread show you how to do all of this.

I managed to keep both horns by just moving them slightly in the wing - one on an original bracket as shown below and the other was secured on the thread of a t-bolt clamp on my intercooler pipework

 

[Bowen]

either go around it, or take the horn out? does the ibiza have a horn on the other side?

 

[Robbie C]

Two horns, both on one side. Keeping both is a challenge but doable, as above...

 

[fourtwofive]

robbie c did forge make a smaller fmic i mine came with the car and looks a little smaller than yours and the in and outs are not at the sides. if that makes sense making the task on changing the charge pipe hard....

I had a custom FMIC fabricated by Pro Alloy as a close replica of the old AM Motorsport cooler to optimise flow and efficiency so you'll have to adapt a route to suit. Not quite as easy as you say as you have more angles to juggle with
