Evening all....
Just bought a split-r off here from a dude with an Ibiza Cupra.....I know The LC and ibiza have essentially the same engine but are there any changes in the setup which will require a fitting kit etc to fit the split-r?? or will it just bolt straight onto my LC... he says he has got everything to go with it that came from forge new... will i need any clips etc???

Bit stupid i know... but i dont wna go to fit it, take the bosch one off and find out that i need something as simple as a jubilee clip or something

cheers guys

You will need 2 jubilee clips as the std ones will break when you take them off .
PS good luck with the split r ( lol )

Are you feeling Ok Cav ??? you did'nt slag off the mighty Split-R :lol:

Set up will be a case of trial and error, once it stops clicking then leave it alone you wont make it any louder

havnt actually bought it... ive agreed to.... just been reading through his previous posts.... he sed that it kept putting his car into limp mode.... and that its basically cack lol...... you posted on that thread too caveo lol... how hard are they to set up??? chances of faults/limp mode??? is the fact that his car kept going into limp mode down to a possible problem with the valve or is it really just pure luck or not your car goes limp???

don't make me tap the sign.... I thought we discussed that you were to sit back & have no input, rather than your uneducated & unfounded rumours?

Make people make their own mind up, based upon facts, not 2nd hand guff.

I'm happy (in fact more than happy) to help you out if you can't work out how to do this on your own.

didn't watch it last night...

However, I still feel that you just have some vindictive reason for having your one-man crusade against it.

As discussed privately... keep it to yourself.

Thanks mork... much appreciated...lol... well like i said i just want the sound of a BOV... dont want to go for a full BOV so thats why i decided on the split-r... but there are very mixed reviews about split-rs on here but everyone has good views of the 007p.... i havevery limted experience with vag 1.8t's....owned mostly hondas.... any advice is much appreciated

Don't get me wrong, there's a whole list of reasons why I think leaking boost to atmosphere is wrong on a closed loop system - but that's my opinion
