Resonator bypass TDDI and TDCI 5 speed
TDDI VERSION
Ok firstly this is the piece you are going to replace (in the red box on the picture). You need a straight piece of pipe with a 35mm internal diameter and the pipe must be 230mm long. I got mine off ebay for under a tenner in blue silicone, you could easily use normal rubber pipe if you wish.
Remove your airbox and the pipe connecting the airbox and the turbo.
Pictured below it shows the points where the pipe joins (red circles) at the turbo and at the other end of the pipework. all you need is either a flat blade screwdriver or a 6/7mm socket to undo the 2 jubilee clips 1 at either end.
once you removed the section in the first picture and removed the resonator and 2 small pieces of rubber pipe, put on your straight piece of pipe. below pictured is the end result.
