Leon ATP GTRS Eliminator install

[m0rk]

finally....

I have a GTRS on my desk

it's not mine, but I'll hold the owner to ransom

it's not a small piece of kit

 

[Feel]

Is that all the bits you've/he's got now?

 

[m0rk]

yes, fitting this weekend hopefully if the weather is right.

base map & injectors dependant of course.

 

[acidstrato]

so wot car is it going on? whos mapping it? and what are the costs?

 

[m0rk]

Jonah's 2002 LC 180VVT

Revo to map it

No idea on costs, I'm just the spanner monkey.

 

[acidstrato]

i look forward to seeing the results

 

[ibizacupra]

you reackon it will fit and clear everything from what you see already?

read some peeps on vortex were trimming exhaust mani to clear compressor housing which sounded odd on a "kit"

 

[m0rk]

it looks pre trimmed in the area's they talk about it making contact....

comes with absolutely everything required to fit it though. My only concern is the oil & coolant lines aren't the champfered style & they suggest "ptfe" tape

but that tends not to last too well when all is warm.

Comprehensive destructions as well which is reassuring - although it really is step by step

I'll take some accurate measurements for depth etc to see what it'll clear.

might even see if I can pop up to see someone who's got their turbo off their ibiza to see if it'll mount

I'd be VERY interested to see results on this as considering the same for my LCR but concerned about potential lag issues

When's it going on?

They manufacture PTFE tapes that cover a much higher temperature range than standard (<100C) - I can't immediately spot a uk supplier though

DPJ - who's 'they'?

Darth tater - see post #3

I wonder who that might be?

 

[Darth Tater]

Darth tater - see post #3

Sorry, missed that

Will it be mapped etc at same time or will that have to wait a bit?

Darth Tater - I'm no tuner

if all is fitted & working (no leaks) on a base map then it could be tuned next week.

depends on if the wideband arrives...

base map to let it get to Daventry (not far) dependant too.

Cheers mOrk

Figured that was prob the case

Good luck on the fitting and I await the results post-map with a great deal of interest

 

[m0rk]

looking at the size of it it should be good.

shame it's not my car, but he's always generous with the keys

 

[Darth Tater]

Is it comparable in size to the K04 and it's a K03 on a Cupra isn't it?

It seems to be marketed as direct replacement for both so guessing shouldn't be loads bigger in terms of housing etc?

 

[Revo Kev]

I wonder who that might be?

Hmmm, not sure...

...when do you want to come over m0rk? I'm heading that way in about 15minutes and should be there for a bit! ; )

You can leave it with me if you want but he'll have to come and fight for it back! ; )

 

[m0rk]

not exactly the same (GT28RS, rather than GTRS, but very close)
