just a couple of pics would help, dont want to start ripping out bits i need to leave in...
just need to see angles as the one induction kit ove got was oringinally a golf one but was modified to fit a leon so i need to modify it back...
also need to know how many jubilee clips i need and where they are secured, and which way round the machined ducting goes as one end is bevelled while the other end is flat... which end goes in the filter and which in the air feed?
I know some of you have them help please! gonna have to do it tomorrow morning now coz i havent got time before work :embarassed: :angry:

From the top of my head..... OE Airbox Removal:-
1) Take off Engine cover (4 x Plastic lugs (1/4 turn))
2) Loosen Jubilee (SP.) clip on the LH side
3) Unclip the 3 connectors from the airflow meter
4) Now, you need your socket set (possibly with an extension). Undo the higher nut at the top of the airbox (13 mm I think??), & then the lower one at the bottom.
5) You should now be able to wiggle off the airbox.
6) Now take off the plastic airfeed (1 nut) which leads down towards the headlight.
Part 2 Later..... :grin:

Oops..... I posted that in between your 2 posts!
Will take some pics tonight if i get chance.
-
lol... part 2!?!
ive had a look and i think im ok taking off the air box, slightly more complicated than my saxo was lol.
worried about what to do with the aluminium tube... bout 5 inches long that came in the kit... dos this insert all the way inside the housing where the maf sensor is?
also, how does it secure... it doesnt have a jubliee clip in the kit, or a piece of silcon tube to seal it... it looks from the ibiza one that it just slides in...
this is what ive got.... cant find a pic of it on a golf...

Sorry, mate. Can't get piccies to work. :sad:
-
hi mate, ive got an install guide from jabba and the pics in your email worked so im gonna do it in a minute!
should be easy enough... was concerned about which way round the silver tube went but i think it will only go in one way... got to heat up the plastic somewhere though... :huh:
is your heat shield screwed to the body in one of those pics... and on that little strut to the suspension piller?

I haven't got a seperate heat shield, as my filter is enclosed in that heatproof cylinder.
ps Didn't know I'd emailed you!!! :undecided:
*EDIT* But yes, That bracket at the top goes onto that lug which is part of the bodywork.
-
oh, well someone elmailed me lol!
thanks who ever that was...
ive got it in now, took me bout 25 mins with the instructions... i dont think i like it :cry:
i cant tell any difference in throttle response or turbo lag, and it just makes a lot of noise... i think i prefer the nice whistle of the turbo rather than the growl of the induction kit... and the recirc valve chatters for ages!
-
The ECU will take a while to adjust to the increased air intake. I'd give it a week or so.
I've never heard that Jabba one before, but am surprised about your findings.
My BMC one sounds nice & throaty, with a louder 'chatter' when you lift off (but not longer in duration). My mate said it made my car sound like a 330 when I was downchanging on the way to pick him up from BMW!
Jury's out with any extra power/throttle response, though. (I defy anyone to notice an extra 2-3 bhp!).
-
Anyone know why my piccies don't work?
-
ive stuck it on ebay but ive reserved the right to end the auction, if it grows on me i mite keep it...
i just remember loving the one on my saxo as soon as i put it on... but not so much on this one...
-

The website is trying to pull the pictures from your hard drive (http://c:/My%20Documents/BMC/BMC%201a.jpg). You'll need to upload the pictures to a website and link to them.
-
it was me that emailed the pics of mine you pm'd me asking for them
-
ohhh yeah! read your name on the email now! i get confused between you two for some reason, must be the silver pics lol
thanks a lot mat,e its grown on me this afternoon.... i may yet be keeping it now i know that i have to give it a min for the ecu to adapt.
cheers guys
