As long as it goes back into the TIP the DV can be anywhere.

iv got the colside relocation but the bottom of it goes into my inlet

 

[mr_D]

yeah thats the normal way of the cold side but i haven't got the adaptor for the inlet. Will extend of the tip. For now! Then next month probably get the inlet made. Hope this works.

???

 

[rogers]

yea buy cheap buy twice, good suspension makes the car,

 

[rhysox]

ok i bought different ones now!

 

[PhilW]

What you bought rhys?

 

[rhysox]

um, i went on the venom motorsport page, and found these ones called 'ap coilovers' they looked pretty good. seemed better quality than the cheap ebay ones, and not too expensive. paid 330 i think. will see what they're like! also bought some rs4 replica wheels and some german plates. all being fitted this week hopefully also plan on colour coding!

 

[rhysox]

oh yeh, and also a downpipe + decat

it was my 21st, so had lots of money to spend!

 

[PhilW]

Nice parts!

Where did you get the decat from?

Happy birthday btw.

 

[rhysox]

i got the decat as a part of a downpipe from THS. it was pretty cheap so not sure on how it's gonna be but most people have said that its pretty good quality! will it run ok with it fitted? as i know i need to get the second lambda mapped out, but until then will it just throw a light up/fault code or something? or will it go into limp mode? if it's gonna cause problems- i'll wait till i get my next load of parts (k03s, injectors, stage2 remap etc) and fit it then (with the lambda mapped out). thanks for the birthday message too!

 

[rhysox]

i've also got to fit my laguna cooler! just need to find out which pipes/bends/joiners etc i'll need! haha

 

[PhilW]

THS make a mk3 ibiza cupra decat DP? If its the one that fits the A3 as well it wont fit. Have a search.

It will throw a CEL if you havent got stage 2 map.

 

[rhysox]

with CEL, will it drive normally or will it be restricted in some way?

 

[PhilW]

If you can get it to fit, which i doubt you can it will throw it into limp mode eventually when your long term fuel trims go out.

 

[rhysox]

ok phil, thanks mate. i'l wait till stage2. some people have had the downpipe modified to fit- and my dad's an engineer so might be able to get it sorted that way

 

[PhilW]

Swings and roundabouts really, you need a downpipe to go to stage 2, but you need stage 2 to run CEL free.

IIRC its the angle off the flange and the bends, or lack off that is the problem.

You can buy my milltek if you want.

 

[rhysox]

would have had i known you were selling before i bought this THS one!!

will do a test fit in a few months, see where it needs to be modified and go from there! i can't wait to get these wheels + coilovers fitted. gonna look awesome i think
