Can't wait - ordered the following from eiptuning.com


will wait and see how long it takes for the parts to arrive from the US

i ordered these:

* EIP\Greddy RS BOV Kit (specially made for VAG 1.8T - solves MAF problem)
* EIP\K&N Intake kit (relocates filter to the front of the left wheel)
* A-Pillar Gauge Pod
* VDO Black/Red Boost Gauge with sender
* Turbosmart manual boost controller
* H&R 10mm Wheel Spacers (for the rear wheels)

Total cost is $820 ...

Will install my BBS rims today or tomorrow ... pics as soon as i'm done!

Any install tips??

Is there info on teh site with how they get the BOV to work etc?
Whats the sender unit for the boost gauge?

 

[dj_hektik]

The BOV is a standard Greddy RS, but EIP made a kit that recirculates the air back in after the MAF so no air is lost, therefore no MAF errors are caused. It's made for the Golf 4 1.8T so it will be fine with my Leon FR.

about the turbo boost sender the site says:

"VDO Vision Boost Gauge - 30 In.Hg - 25 PSI, 6 ft nylon tubing kit, NoBuzz T-connector, Blue or Red LED, electrical wiring and connectors"

so i assume i have to cut a hose somewhere and install the t-connector. But the guy on the phone said the connection between the gauge and the sender is electric, so im not sure. when I recieve the instructions i will let you know

 

[Scotty_b]

Ow i see its and electronic gauge rather than a mechanical. In other words you run a small pipe to a box of tricks that converts the mechanical into electrical signals and sends it to teh gauge to be interpreted. I was after something like thi for mine to reduce the take off on the FPR.

Sorry to sound dumb but how is it a BOV if it recircs it? or is it a 50/50 one thing?

 

[dj_hektik]

i dont know really. i i think it only recirculates to stop the MAF errors, but im not sure how. i'll write a new thread when i've installed all the parts.

 

[chriz1]

is this supposed to give off the atmoshpheric sound whilst keeping the engine sensors happy?

 

[dj_hektik]

Yes thats the whole point.. i heard it on an audi TT 225 here it doesn't so much as whistle, it sort of "breathes" .. its a very nice sound

Cool


Keep us posted mate

You won't get any sort of blow-off noise from a re-circulating GReddy, will be just as quiet as any DV - I had the EIP Type-S kit years ago and it was no louder than a Forge or Bailey DV. It doesn't solve any MAF issues either, it works exactly the same as any DV, has nothing to do with running a BOV.
