I got mine second hand on here. I think kam racing still sell them though.

You'll need a 90% bend pipe to attach it to your throttle body. Then a custom air feed (the stuff on eBay is good) from the BMC to the wing.

90% bend pipe? can you direct me on that 1 i dont quite get it lol..

a custom air feed...is that like the cold air feed pipe..

so when you bought the bmc.. what actually comes with it because it seems like all you get is the bmc nothing else

[Tim_GTi]

Have a look at this picture, and notice the pipe that connects the BMC to the throttle body on the right hand side. And then the feed pipe to the left:


When you buy the kit, I'm fairly sure you get a small pipe with it, which enables you to use part of the old air feed, so it looks something like this:


Notice on the left hand side it connects to part of the original air feed.

This way is much more constricting though, so I'd advise getting that longer air feed like the one pictured at the top. They cost under £20 from eBay.

o i c thanks tim.

however i do get the pipe to connect it to the throttle body when i buy the bmc though?

[Tim_GTi]

Usually not, it depends where you get it from though. I'd imagine they'd advise it pretty well if they did, as it's not part of the standard kit.

Who ever you order it from, whether it be kam racing or someone else, it's worth ringing them up and asking if they stock them, more than likely they will. Then just hussle a discount Remember, the Throttle body is 63mm.

Oh I forgot, you need to get a breather filter also. When you remove the old airbox, there's a little pipe left over, which you either need to connect a breather filter to, like this:



Or if your feeling fancy, an oil catch tank like this:

[yosin]

is the catch tank the same thing as the breather filter? if not whats it for then?

The breather leaks fumes, so if you don't re-position it you can smell petrol in your car time to time (that's what mine's like).

An oil catch tank is just a enclosure to trap the leaks, it needs emptying every now and then.

What diameter would you need for the 90 degree pipe for the throttle body? Someone said 70mm? But others say different?

Would this that I think comes with the 90 degree pipe fit a polo gti?

Also what diameter breather pipe do you need? 16mm?

[yosin]

i asked kam racing and they said it comew with a 90 degree silicon pipe to connect it to the throttle body.

Tim : regards to the cold air feed how long do you think i need ?

[VWPOLOXX]

Ye will the 70mm pipe that comes with it fit?

[yosin]

yeah usually when they supply something with it, it should fit..

[VWPOLOXX]

Well the link is for a Lupo GTI and I have a Polo GTI :> Just want to make sure they are not different sizes.

[yosin]

o i c, yeah i think that the its the same for the lupo gti and polo gti..i read it somewhere on here

If your feeding to the wing (same as stock) 1 metre will be fine. passenger side fog, your probably looking at 2 metres.
