Might seem a bit odd, but after having spent a lot of yesterday exchanging furitless emails with K&N, I was wondering if anyone who has a 1.2 TSi Yeti (preferably the 105 version but don`t think it really matters!) could take a picture of their engine bay for me as I want to know if the K&N Intake listed for the 1.2 TSi (57S-9005 if anyone is interested) would also fit my Fabia as K&N themselves seemed unsure!

Thanks in advance!

Have you thought about this? http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=57S-9500 I am pretty sure they will fit, as they are specifically made for the model, and I think it might also eliminate heat soak.

Sorry that was the one I meant - its only listed for the Yeti though, not the Fabia so I have assumed (and K&N didn`t seem to know when I asked) that it doesnt fit, but I wanted to see wht the Yeti enginebay looks like to see if it might fit.

Hi Ross,

these any good;

Awesome thanks mate, looks identical to my engine then - do you know what the small what looks like box/actuator coming off the turbo - is it the BOV???

If your referring to the cylindrical object with electric plug that's the electronic waste gate actuator.

Yes thats the one. Would that be whats replaced if a BOV (such as http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=260307&product=FMDV14T) is fitted?

And should the intake pipe going into the turbo be hard up against the shell of the turbo as mine has a small (2-3mm) gap from where the pipe would be hard up against the turbo and where it sits and I can`t get it to fit any closer to the turbo.

Would be surprised if theres any mod out there yet for this turbo as the 1.2TSI is pretty unique in having a electrical actuator for waste gate operation.

Yes the air induction pipe on to the turbo is a pretty poor fit due to th 4 and 8 o'clock position of the two retaining bolts, so it 'leans away' at the top.

my engine looks so clean in those pictures Tim. looked under the bonnet Sunday after a trip to the local clay shoot think i may be washing under the bonnet as well as the outside this sunday

Hum, thats a bummer. Take it the 1.4 TSi engine isnt an electronic wastegate then?

From what I can see on my intake pipe it only has a single retaining bolt on in, about 1/3 of the way around the pipe looking from directly above. Just looks odd as it appears that you can see the turbine blades in the gap.
