9am tuesday morning-phone call; we have the wrong parts and have to air freight them from sydney, we need it until friday 5pm.
Hmm, ok, can i pick it up and drop it off on friday?
No.., it's in pieces in the workshop.
Oh, ok, then I need a loan car because 5 days is a long time without a car.
Umm, I don't think we have any cars available.
Dude cmon, you've changed from wanting my car for 1 day to 5 days through no fault of my own.
Ok, we can get you a Kia.:frown:
So what did I do to my polo today? Swapped it for a Kia!

That noise pipe is useless! It is very easy to remove, you will need a 2" pipe with 100mm lenght to put in the place of that plastic T before the intake.
Use a special plier for the elastic bracers... It will be easier!
I don't feel any diference with out it.

To remove the filter is much more easier, but you will have to create some kind of support for the new one.

I only fell the noise inside the car when I remove that black deflector layer in the hood.

How it changes! It much more alive!

I don't know how to discribe it to you.. try to figure a vacuum cleaner with something blocking the pipe. Almost like that.

Other thing.. I don't know if it about the noise, but I'm feeling the car more elastic at hi speeds..

Thks mate !!
In fact, i've already bought this hose as i'm on the way to fit the Forge FMIC next year.
So i will remove all existing hoses...
I just wanted to be sure that removing this pipe was easy and if the sound into the car change or not.

Thks anyway !
Cheers,
Quest

Noticed a bit of an oil leak on the bottom of the sump, seemed to be tracking from up top somewhere.
Apparently was an oil feeder hose that goes into the turbo - needed replacing, so actually the turbo itself is fine. Has only done 3000km, but not too worried, quite a few cars have little warranty issues early on.

Isnt that noise valve thing on the left hand drive cars because we have a brake booster in the way? Actually. Come to think of it i havent even looked. Im asuming there would be a brake booster there :P

I was thinking..
I was a good boy this year, so I think Santa should give me a nice present.

Santa with all his wisdom give me a rock, on my windshield!
Bad Santa! I didn't belive in you anyway!!

Today I return the present and the new one come with a black strip on the top, how do you call it in english?

I went to a dyno today.

The first run, with the intercooler cold I had WHP 227 and 46kgf.m
At the second run with the intercooler hot I had WHP 207 and 42kgf.m

10% of loss...

However I'm worried with other thing.

At the first run, when the intercooler was cold, the car run lean at peak power.. So I think with a bigger intercooler, probally a 4bar FPR will be required!

Peak power 1.4bar, looses to 0,8bar.

This are the scanned results, mixed Spanish, Portuguese and a little English.
Have fun!

Here is a video, the image sucks, however the sound is very good.
