SE number #290 was broken for parts as i have the leathers in my Diamond Silver vRS.

Mines dropped about 80mm, My arb rubbed the driveshafts with puma droplinks so I had to get 160mm droplinks instead. The ride isn't the greatest but i am quite low and I've never hit my sump as it doesn't sit that low on the vRS, only thing I've really rubbed is the subframe and splitter but this rarely happens

Yes i'm aware, but their is more then just me with a decat downpipe? will i be able to fit it to the standard centre section without a reducer or will i need one?

Well I already have a back box delete so now i'm wanting to go straight through

Why what? i'm just wondering if i'll need the reducer or if it will fit fine with the normal exhaust sleeve

I've bought a Miltek downpipe which is 2.5inch bore for my Fabia vRS, would this fit to the standard centre section or would I need an exhaust reducer? TIA

Check out this guide mate, you'll find all the information

Do the Elephant Mod, prevents gunk build up in your pipework

I'm thinking its just left over oil from before i did the elephant mod tbh. i'll clean the pipes and keep an eye on everything

Well there is **** all over the lower pipes and by where the undertray use to be

Yeah i'll take everything off and clean everything, getting a FMIC soon so all the standard pipes will be gone, hopefully then i wont have to worry about any leaks

Haven't used any oil, still near maximum since i serviced it in June.

So do you think the seals are on the way out? is there a definite way of checking? i don't get any blue smoking coming out the exhaust, and on start up its usually black smoke. I was thinking maybe its just leaking from the pipes and that the turbo seals are fine?

Definitely isn't the filler cap or the cam cover. i'll get the car on the ramp and check the turbo

I've noticed oil inside my EGR when the boost pipes removed, also noticed quite a lot of oil on my drive shaft and lower boost pipes. I'm running the elephant mod so i thought there shouldn't be much, if any oil in the intercooler pipes and EGR. The car seems to boost fine, haven't noticed any boost leaks, but the pipes do come loose from time to time. Would replacing the boost pipes with silicone hoses and doing a EGR delete solve this problem? My cars lowered by about 80mm but I cant see that the drive shaft has rubbed through a pipe
