hi all. first time on here. i have just purchased a few bits for my mark 1 vrs. autobahn 88 fmic with universal pipework. just wondering which way to run it to the turbo from the n/s of the bumper. s3 air mass meter. has any one else fitted one to theirs and does it make a difference? blueflame cat back exhaust. i have a forge recirc valve on at mo but was guna change it for an hks ssqv dump valve. will this cause me any problems.

Check out this thread, may be useful to you:

I currently fitting the same intercooler set up to my car, when I get a few minutes spare that is!

Good luck - make sure you post some pics of the job, before, during and after...

I have a S3 air meter and K04 turbo, but so far it's throwing the "mixture too lean" code. Injectors are 317cc. So just be aware that the S3 MAF might do the same to you (and also, don't you need to change the air filter housing? because the S3 MAF is about 1cm larger in diameter than the VRS one)

Don't know about the hks, but I've got the forge valve with yellow spring and I'd say it's pretty good so far. Just be careful to use a recirc valve not an atmospheric blow-off.
