Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.
We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

Got the new Oval BMC CDA installed in my pog and the great thing is the factory battery didn't need replacing to a smaller unit and was simply shifted slightly. Great work once again from Dean at Volkspower. Next is installing the Ecs tuning N75, MK5 gti Ed30 tiller and paint and fit the lower lip, wheel arch flares eye lids (when they FINALLY decide to arrive).Last edited by Gti Dave; 25-09-2010, 02:30 AM.

Anymore details about how you fit the BMC CDA without moving/changing the battery? The battery issue has been the only thing stopping me from going to BMC CDA over my current PD160/K&N panel combo. If i did get a smaller battery i dont know where i'd put all the fuses and stuff on top of it and i CBF working out something custom myself.MY2008 VW Polo GTi / GIAC Tune / Forge FMIC / Forge 007 DV / N75 Race / BMC OTA / KW V1 Coilovers / Whiteline Front&Rear Swaybars + Toe-In Shim / Weichers Front&Rear Strut Braces / Full Non-Res Milltek Exhaust / 17" Bora Sport

Hey guys, the BMC CDA used is the new much more compact OTA (oval type box) with part number being: OTA70
Check out this link: OTA Project
Because its much more compact than the older design, it fit in snugly where the SEAT PD160 intake pipes would usually sit hence negating the need to replace the battery with a smaller one. However, the battery would need to be shifted slightly to the right. I'll post pic when I get home later this morning (on night shift right now). Air feed is relatively direct and comes from the same location/spot of the intake trumpet opening.
