Forge Motorsport Golf 1.8T, SEAT Leon 1.8T and Audi A3 1.8T DV fitting guide

Tools required: - Cross head screwdriver, Flat blade screwdriver, 6mm and 7mm hose
clip drivers, Sharp craft knife.
1/ Open bonnet/hood. Remove the plastic engine cover. Remove the hose running between the throttle body housing and the top intercooler connection (bottom left hand corner of the picture above)
2/ Fit the new hose with the 25mm spout as shown above. If the hose is too long it will probably become misshapen, if this happens then remove and simply trim the ends with a sharp craft knife, only remove 10-15mm at any time and refit to check the hose shape after each cut if required. Once happy with the fit then secure with the hose clips supplied.
3/ Now remove your Diverter Valve from its original location in the Turbo inlet Pipe and fit it into the relocation hose as shown above. Secure with the hose clip supplied.
4/ Use the 90 degree plastic bends and the straight 25mm hose to complete the hose run between the Turbo intake pipe and the new DV location. Use the hose clips supplied and secure all hose connections once you are happy with the fit and routeing. Fit the 25mm blanking plug to the original DV boost hose and secure with a hose clip. (If you have spare hose from the straight length provided you can remove the boost hose and fit a short length of 25mm silicon hose and blank this as per both pictures here)
5/ Use the vacuum pipe and joiner as supplied in order to extend the original DV vacuum pipe to the new DV location, fix the vacuum pipe to the top of the DV as shown above. Use the zip ties supplied to tidy up the 25mm hose and prevent any other engine parts from rubbing through.
6/ Refit engine cover. Clear away all tools and close the bonnet/hood.
