Are they meant to be hard to fit?

 

[t32er]

[chrisr45]

Cheers for that, 1 More question do you need to have the car Jacked up at all?

 

[t32er]

you dont have to but my fuk is it easyer (i thought any way) just need to know if LCR is any better as was told it is (cant see how though)

Hmm might have to wait till Tomorrow to fit the tip when im at work so I can use the ramps

lcr is a different turbo to the cupra, the tip fot the cupra r is very easy to fit its the k03s thats a pita

the other hoses just require bumper to come off

tip will make the biggest improvement to the car, as for the induction kit, only thing i have seen were findings from badger bill, but wont tell you those as they dont favour it haha

you don't need to go under the car on the lcr mate, i had mine fitted and pics taken all in my 1/2 hour dinner break i think i have read some people going from underneath on the lc but no need to on the lcr

 

[chrisr45]

Fitted the 2 boost pipes & the induction kit Today, The sound from it now is awesome!!

Didnt get time to do the TIP so that is a job for tomorrow at work I hope

Which uprated hoses have you gone for mate?

Sounds good with an open cone sucking at the air haha, you go for just filter or the P-Flow kit?

 

[chrisr45]

Gone for Forge boost hoses, The ones that go to the intercoolers, Went for the P-flow kit

 

[tyrer]

nice!

Looking into hoses atm you see. easy job?

 

[chrisr45]

It was fairly easy, The one on the passenger side intercooler you can do by just removing the 2 plastic covers that sit between the battery & headlight,
The drivers side on that goes onto the charge pipe needed me to take the bumper off from that corner, Simply because the Jubilee clip in the standard hose had been fitted with the screw head part at a funny angle that wouldnt allow me to get on it without moving the Headlight out of the way

you can pop down and do mine then...
shame i wont be able to get out your way actually, now and again i work at our leic office

 

[chrisr45]

Jake told me Today that you can do the TIP on the Cupra R from just above the car, Said it only took him half an hour to do,

Think ill be taking mine down to him on Tuesday night

Nice car mate.

No hanging about there with the remap! Good work.

 

[Ronin225]

Easy from the top, here is a pic with it taken out

 

[t32er]

how do we get to the alan nut from the top? i thought it was at the bottom??

 

[Ronin225]

What allen nut??
LCR TIP has one use clips on all ports and are replaced with jubilees, no water pipes bolted to it

 

[t32er]

tip to the turbo.... im sure its a nut that holds it on to the turbo
