Hey guys, Just bought my 05 MPS6 and loving it ! previous owner provided me with a CP-e CAI and i believe a CP-e Turbo inlet pipe.
Sooo ..... WHO WANTS TO HELP WITH INSTALLATION :D, i would love to learn the internals of this vehicle, and have always learnt more effectively through prac than theory.
Where are you?

Whatever you do, for the love of baby jesus PLEASE make sure that the clamp (TIP->SRI) next to the battery is on so that the screw is on the OPPOSITE side (AWAY FROM) the battery...
If it moves around it can eat out your ECU loom (not in a good way).
Mmm I second this lol as I found this out the hard way.
So i'm assuming this advice applies for the 3 as well.. Thanks =]

Yes, this applies to Gen1/Gen2/and 6MPS.
I dont know how much it is to fix, but its VERY expensive to replace the whole loom :)
LMAO my cheap 2 second depiction - dont have a better photo since I dont have the car anymore.. maybe someone else can help.
In this pic I have rotated the clamp so the screw clears, its actually better to put it on the other way around I think, if you can access it..
On first inspection 99% of people will put it even with the loom - its an easy mistake to make.. dont do the same ;)

Sounds simple enough ! i guess i owe you a drink coz you probably saved me from a very bad mistake :P Auspost accept alcoholic refreshment i presume :P
Will even take pics if i find someone to help install and make a new thread on the installation, and i will mention the screw !
Will I have to be careful if I was just installing an SRI alone?
Not really. Just use common sense.Quote:
