Will skip the NA stage and just jump to where I am at now. Few pictures, it needs a fair bit of TLC on the outside. Which will come in time.

Parts laid out ready for the trip to TDI-North:

Will be cleaning this weekend, so will have more pictures and maybe a video or two up. :twisted:

Carbon Boot for sale = £411

Just wanted to add that this is still on a stock clutch so was limited to 7psi.

Soon as it starts to die I will be upgrading to a Stage 4 Competition Clutch and Flywheel, also chucking in a LSD. Not 100% sure which dif to go with. Had sold my quaife to appease enraged wife. Will have to do a little more research in a few months.

Just getting used to driving with 300+ in a FWD car right now.
 
Really nice set up. AP's look a proper bit of kit!
What sort of psi you gonna run it up to? About 10/11?
Have to get a Sussex boost meet on the go.
 
Love some of the mods on it dude :)
I bet the inside wheel gets interesting when exiting a tight corner & hitting boost? :lol:
The LSD will make a HUGE difference.

:lol: you could say that yes.. Had to sell the quaife I had sat around, needed to show the wife some willingness to curtail spending.

Alls forgiven now so as soon as clutch starts to slip it's time for LSD + remap for 9psi.
 
:lol: It's about time! Although I had a good read of this thread over on CTRO. Have you been bothered to clean it yet?

:(

Not yet, will be this weekend though! Hard to get the time, spending most weekends driving up to Harrogate.

However, weekend off this week. :D
 
Car sounds well:cool:
What are you using to control boost? It kinda looks like your getting a bit of a boost spike when you first come on boost.

I am seeing a small amount of boost creep, up to 0.8 bar. Going to datalog a 'spirited drive' this week to see what's going on.

very nice, sounds awesome and looks quick. If you dont mind me asking all in all how much did it cost?

All in to get it looking and to where it is right now performance wise, roughly £9k.

Turbo/exhaust/injectors/brakes/mapping/fitting ran me £6k
