VAG MAP sensor mounting tube is it a good mod http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=190101TUN&product=FMMAPT

depends on what intercooler your using?

 

[Myki da Pyki]

As said above it all depends what intercooler your running and how you have the piework set up aswel. The pipe was made to the spec i wanted by forge and now they produce it for everyone

 

[acidstrato]

its not a mod like your thinking of, its just for when you replace the standard pipework on a new intercooler

 

[SEATCOOBER]

no difference noted since stock pipework than normal pipework using laguna ic!!!

I have an intercooler with all the piping to the charge pipe side, But no piping to the throttle body side.

I want to run the piping all the way to the throttle body without using the oem stuff.

What piping do i need, including the map sensor tube?

It is a uni intercooler but want to run this piping set up as eventually i will be changing the cooler anyway.

 

[R 20vt J]

Anyone?

 

[Cupra Gsy]

Do you need this tube if you run the uni coolers from ebay which alot of people use on here

 

[Robbie C]

All depends if you want to run OE or custom pipework. If you use this housing in conjunction with a decent cooler and free flowing pipework then it's worthwhile. A few people have posted what you need to make up a kit but you'd need to search to dig that out.

 

[R 20vt J]

Cheers mate! You don't need to but i just think the OE pipes are so restrictive!

Especially if the cars end up running a lot more power!

 

[Robbie C]

Yeap, a lot of people overlook the pipework. No point in a decent cooler if it can't flow properly

I think i need:
45 degrees bend from the tb
Map sensor tube then two 90 degrees bends

yes, thats correct

 

[R 20vt J]

What is the dia from the TB, is it 63mm?

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Yep 63mm

 

[cupra collins]

is it important where this goes or does it have to go roughly where it is now if you get what im saying lol

 

[Reuvers]

like said mate,

put a 45 degree 63mm silicone bend on the throttle body. Then stick the 63mm MAP sensor pipe in that. Then stick 2 90 degree silicone bends on that (you might need 1 more aluminum straight 63mm pipe between the 90 degree bends) and then you're at you intercooler.

is this still using the uni coolers?
what pipework from otherside?

i remember fitting my own lcr fmic but had to keep map pipe as no alternative. easy to make tho

why would a uni intercooler use different pipework? If you mount it on the front it will use the same route as say a Forge. Obviously the connection the the actual intercooler port might be different to others depending on the diameter.

As for the other side, I'm not sure as I going for LCR route.

But if you're sticking with the original chargepipe over block then there is shed loads of info and pictures and measurements on here.

Look up uni intercooler or something and you'll be flooded with info.

It must go between the throttle body and the intercooler

All the questions that have been asked ARE answered in my thread about the relocation pipe
