Exhaust, fmic and itg

interested in the KTEC, and potentially the FMIC too...

any chance of postage? will look into collection if not (i'm 2.5 / 3 hours away)

is the KTEC a catback or decat as well?

looking forward to pics.

 

Pics please. May also like the fmic

 

I'm interested in the ITG kit can you send me some pics please

Steve

 

Depending on who wants what i 'may' be able to collect and bring back down south if needed.

 

Nice one

 

Interested in the front mount intercooler. Its not really a long drive for me! Want to see pictures of it first

 

Interested in the exhaust if no one above wants to collect it.

 

A possible naive question that I have been wanting to ask since I first saw this ITG kit.

What about the sensors that are on the original inlet? Are they not needed more, or how does the thing work?

I have sawn there is the option to cut the original inlet and adapt the upper end of ITG kit, so the sensors can stay, or to completely change the inlet unit. Whats happening with the sensors in 2nd case?

 

The kit just replaces the standard inlet pipe.

 

...which has no sensors on it?

 

there are no sensors on the standard airbox - the ITG just replaces the airbox so not sure what sensors you are referring to

 

the standard inlet pipe can be used with the itg kit - it just connects to the end of the standard pipe, either that or most replace the standard pipe with a silicon version which would still have the outlets for both of the standard sensors etc to plug into

 

Yeah as above. You can either use the standard hose from the turbo or replace it with a silicone one which I did and the valve just pops in like standard

 

I'd be interested in the FMIC and induction kit.

Does the induction kit make as big a difference as KTEC make out on their website?

 

Mine picks up great. Got the forge recirc with the yellow Spring too, just waiting to get it mapped.

 

Cool, Ive got a recirc valve too.

Easy to fit with the new battery tray etc.? Where does the filter end up sitting, behind the nearside foglight area?

 

I mean the sensors (one of them surely MAF) on the pipe, and not on the box itself

Just i couldn't see any holes/holders for the sensors on the itg photos.

You mean the original one hose from the itg kit. This has to have some holes which I cant see at the official photos. About the DIY itg kit (which also was somewhere in this forum), its pretty sure that somebody has to either change only the upper part and fit to the original hose or find/prepare a new hose with the appropriate sensor holders.

Sorry for all this, I have decided to have this kit and want to fix it myself, but have to understand and decide between these alternatives.

I truly appreciate your answers and help

And a last question, does this thing need papers for MOT in England? Is there something available in this case.

I think in Germany where I live, I would need something (of type "homologation")...

 

The hose where the sensors plug into stays, the itg fits into the end of it where the original box is

 

Here's a pic. It's tidier than that now



With the standard pipe on

 

First one is after market hose (the yellow one) with sensor outlets on it - if I can see good, im on phone - and second one itg kit directly connected to the original hose? Is there any cutting off (original hose) action here involved? Thats what I want avoid in any way.

 

Yeah you do have to chop it a bit so it doesn't make the filter rest on the gear linkage. Or cut the bend where the filter is.

 

Thanks mate, this entire conversation has cleared some things up. By the time I make it finally, I ll post some photos here.

 

Good stuff mate. I would recomend swapping to a silicone pipe, seemed to drive better. Might be in my head but nether the less worth it.

 

HI, any pics of the intercooler ?.

 

Hi, did you sell the intercooler?
