My 1.8t FMIC install project.

[Grand Master Patch]

Will you be running the pipes over the top of the engine,or the oem route like ABD do?

Hello m8,

The route we have started to take is unique it think,  The idea is that all you see is the IC and the two 90deg bends in the bumper. On the left hand side there will be another 90 bend and straight pipe with a map sensor seat, which will connect direct to the TB pipe. The right hand hot side ic pipe will have two 90 bends which will take a long pipe close to the SAI pump, then another 90 bend to connect to the pancake pipe, so there will be no ic pipes in the engine bay. Then all the pipes will be wrapped with thermal wrap to reduce any risk of added heat soak. (apart from the 2 pipes on show)

Pretty much like mine then?

Is there a stage 2 package in the pipeline then R-tech? Custom i/c and turbo-back exhaust+stage 2 software??

Ben, what induction kit have you got on? Thought you'd be running the dsg intake?

Hello,

No, the hot side pipe will be near the SAI just under the oil filter, the idea is that all you see is the two front 90 bends keeping it really neat..

I get you now,behind the radiator.That's not a bad idea,i might move mine to run that route.I sometimes hear mine clang on the floor when driving hard on roads with dips on.

Yup behind the rad, 

we have produced a mock up pipe for the pipe which will go behind the rad once the tooling is made up for that pipe we are ready to get it fully up and running.  Its like a maze on the AUM with, air con.
   The pipes to the exsisting IC pipes are to be made from a generic off the shelf pipe with a seat for the map sensor to be fitted not an issue with the AGU setup.

So are you doing this as an exercise to see what you can achieve from your 1.8T?

You've gotta love the AGU,shame about the turbo

Will you be running the std pancake pipe,or will you be losing that aswell?

any more info on this? would be good to know theres a good alternative to the forge one

ring nick & ben at r-tech pretty sure theirs is available now
