Has anyone got pics of the fmic piping that runs to the throttle body? I've got a pipe kit for the stagea to replace the current return setup ... but I want to see roughly where I should drill/saw the hole for the piping.

While I'm at it ... anyone in Adelaide got the drill/saw bit I need to do the job? :)

We did an install on a GTIR a while back. Pulled the front bits off, mounted the ic & pipes then marked out where they looked like they wanted to go throo (with reference to other immovable objects). To make hole used something big enough to get hacksaw blade in then followed the marked line. Handjob.

lol me?

mine is forward facing plenum is that what you mean?

in any case its back at the mechanic for its full boost tune now the run in is done.

but it goes through the battery tray pretty close to the chasis rail in my case (need to move the washer bottle underneath).

i guess it also depends on cooler width and the kit's piping?

the pipe that runs through the hole is a U shape so you can measure the distance from the centre of the end that goes onto the core to the centre of the pipe . once you mount the core get the tape measure and on a radius from the core you can get it pretty prot on

    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
