VWR Lupo Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) Here is how my air filter is plumed in: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />This next pic is of the breather pipe, ive just put it back into the filter so you dont get that horid oil smell when driving! border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />This is only tempury as ive got a oil catch tank to fit when i get round to doing it border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />Only other thing i need to do is fit a cold air feed!

VWR Lupo Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 btw vwr what you done t your sport to get 117bhp?Powerflow cat back exhaust, my induction kit and a AMD chip + reguar servicing with quality oil and my lupo has now got 78k on the clock so its well run in style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":swerve:" border="0" alt="swerve.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 where can you get the AMD chip from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 (edited) where can you get the AMD chip from?It isn't a chip.You could have it remapped, and as the name of it "AMD" suggests - you would purchase the remap at AMD.

Tigz™ Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 best thing t do is get a smaller breather filter and put it into the existing pipeNo its not.The best thing to do would be fit an oil catch tank.A breather filter still gets covered in oil and still smells.

VWR Lupo Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 No its not.The best thing to do would be fit an oil catch tank.A breather filter still gets covered in oil and still smells.Thats correct, fit the breather pipe to catch tank then another pipe from catch tank into the air filter (between airfilter and throttle body) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
