Title: Seat leon 1M twin sidemount coversion Post by: KasperH on June 18, 2017, 02:53:04 AM Anybody here ever tried to do a twin sidemount conversion on a Seat Leon 1M Top sport/FR?
I already got the S3/LCR intake and turbo->intercooler hard pipe, and have ordered the intercooler with pipes and hoses. Title: Re: Seat leon 1M twin sidemount coversion Post by: aef on June 18, 2017, 05:08:44 AM Would mount the Wagner FMIC from S3 8L into my 1M if i had one.
Very good cooler for the money. Title: Re: Seat leon 1M twin sidemount coversion Post by: KasperH on June 18, 2017, 05:43:44 AM Have been looking at that a lot too, it's just 5x the price of a set of twin side mount :)
And almost everything is better than a single sidemount :P Title: Re: Seat leon 1M twin sidemount coversion Post by: KasperH on June 18, 2017, 07:42:22 AM And I also have to think about TÜV approval, or I can't legally install it ;)

Its worked well (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170622/6dff013aeacb597555ea892abb4a61f4.jpg) Title: Re: Seat leon 1M twin sidemount coversion Post by: KasperH on June 22, 2017, 06:59:02 AM I have been scouring the net for somebody that had done this, but could only find thumbnails and people that said they did it, but never an explanation or proper pictures :)
Did you need to trim the bumper to make it fit? And what about piping? Title: Re: Post by: aviaa25 on June 24, 2017, 11:44:03 PM No bumper triming at all
I run it with fogs allso. You allso need custom made piping. Title: Re: Post by: KasperH on June 25, 2017, 09:23:24 AM No bumper triming at all I run it with fogs allso. You allso need custom made piping. care to share what is needed for that custom piping? is one of those universal piping kits enough? :) Title: Re: Post by: aviaa25 on June 25, 2017, 11:22:19 AM its not a universal piping kit.
I'm a tig welder so I made it myself from scratch Title: Re: Post by: KasperH on June 25, 2017, 01:08:35 PM its not a universal piping kit. I'm a tig welder so I made it myself from scratch I'm an old welder, so that was my plan too. What I meant was if the needed bends and piping would be in something like this: http://m.ebay.com/itm/2-25-TURBO-INTERCOOLER-PIPE-PIPING-DIY-KIT-57MM-BLACK-/200630292750 Title: Re: Seat leon 1M twin sidemount coversion Post by: 4ringpieces on June 26, 2017, 06:13:35 AM Just fit a pd150 intercooler and adapt the hoses to fit
Title: Re: Post by: aviaa25 on June 26, 2017, 08:39:29 AM I used 304l ss pip, something like 1.5 meter and six off 90 degree pipe
