Roderrs,

http://www.seatcupra.net/gallery/mai...g2_itemId=1532

hope that helps - do a search - SIM done a good guide - quite detailed and takes a while to get your head around the workings

 

[roderrs]

ideal thanks mate.

 

[roderrs]

still dont understand but o well i worry about it when i get round to some engine mods.

 

[Molehill_Mike]

did you get a engine light come up - some people have had theirs come up and theres not much you can do - apart from clear it but comes back.

not tempting fate as it seems its doing the job for you....

Havent had any lights? As far as car is concerned nothing has changed? Cant imagine why a light would come on unless you've done or not done something?

Mine definately felt smoother but have the standard airbox with cai so my dump valve doesnt make a sound anymore

I have an open cone with 2 cold air feeds, sounds the nuts lol

i dont understand this. sounds like its worth doing can someone please explain which pipes were talking about. sorry for being thick.

Will get a picture up later...

Like I said this was just my view on this mod, there are alot of threads on this I think...

[Sam@xtreme]

Lol.. i havent done this, i think i know what ur talkin about tho.. would like to see some pics!!!

 

[CupraPower]

Lol Mike how can your dump valve sound any louder? i remember hearing you coming down the road at Surrey meets

Get a video clip if you can matey? And some pics

I been wanting to do this for ages but my eletronic/soldering skills arnt that good

Dont need electronic or soldering skills mate, its all mechanical/hosing!

You like my dumpage fella...

I'll get some videos up ASAP

mike, iv got pics for people who would like to know how to do this

want me to post them up? (a bit clearer than the ones already on SCN)

 

[Molehill_Mike]

Yes please mate if you would, I only have after shots

I'll post mine later but if you have some that'd be great...

Like I said this thread was initially to let poeple know my views on the bypass as I "ummed and arrr'd" abotu it for a while


Mike

 

[David_smith_909]

Their just the ones i used to do mine a while ago, (their off craig)

This way is leaving everything electronically connected (no soldering) but mechanically unplugged (you need a Y piece)

(not my engine)

 

[David_smith_909]

going to be doing this at the weekend, clearing up the top of engine (again, not my engine, cheers phil)

 

[ChrisCurzon]

iv ordered some samco hose to this but dont think am going to be able to remove the eletrical bit

 

[Molehill_Mike]

There is no electrical bit? Just hosing??

Mike

you dont unplug anything electrical mate, unlless you get rid of your solonoids and use the correct resistors to "trick" the ecu

EDIT:- Too Slow

I was under the impression there was some soldering involved after reading Sim's guide. I might give this a go in a min then

yeah, sims guide involves doing it "properly"

removing solonoids completly and tricking the ecu with the resistors

personally wouldnt try it as im not a sparky, also heard that if you get the resistance wrong, you can do more damage than good, so you need to know what your doing regarding the electrical part of it, hence why alot of people have just left everything still plugged in electrically

 

[Beaker™]

I see, so where do these go?
