Joe_vrs_tdi...rolling on steelies! Smooth as a....

[joe_vrs_tdi]

Thought i would start a little log up of my progress and ready for future mods.

So it started off as a bog standard mk1 vrs tdi pd130.

This was when i seen her first

First mod, led side lights.

Then it started taking off with some ap coilovers fitted by yours truely and the first time i tackled something like it.

Then a few weeks after hap it remapped and made 157bhp and 280ft/lbs on the rollers http://www.briskoda.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/emoticon-0102-bigsmile.gif

Then i wrapped my chrome grille matte black and tinted the lights.

Also fitted a txautosport cooler and a seat sport strut brace.

Now this is where the fun starts, well after i got over this :?

Original kkk turbo pooped itself.

So picked this little number up, a stage 2 garret pd130 hybrid.

The turbo ruined my intercooler so i thought i would go for a larger mishimoto cooler and custom pipe work, it took me a while to sort all the pipes but i got there in the end.

Also done a wide mouth bumper conversion.

Custom pipe work http://www.briskoda.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/emoticon-0102-bigsmile.gif

Inlet manifold was removed for cleaning on that picture above, so one of the cleaning lol

More pipe work for you.

So now its today and still left to do is the turbo fitment and engine flush etc with egr delete pipe to go on aswell. Waiting on a full turbo back system to arrive from piper that i ordered on friday for a great discount price. Now saving for a cg motorsport uprated clutch and solid flywheel to handle my new power to come http://www.briskoda.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/emoticon-0102-bigsmile.gif

Thanks for reading my progress, im sure there will be much more to come though.

Joe.

[joe_vrs_tdi]

no not yet but not to long hopefully. i am wanting around 210bhp and around 340+ft/lbs but just want it nice and smooth and fun to drive at the end of the day so not to bothered what it makes

[NoSmokeNoPoke]

Great thread Joe - Nice to see all your stuff n one place. Keep us posted - We like pictures!

I'm in a similar state at the minute - Already have my clutch and SMF fitted, but need to mount the Intercooler, and then get the turbo on. Also waiting on piper! (de cat downpipe)

Who are you planning on getting to map it?

[joe_vrs_tdi]

cheers mate. im waiting on piper aswell turbo back decat 0 silencers .

dirty-torque will be fitting the turbo and doing the custome remap all at the same time and hopefully a cg motorsport clutch kit.

i got a couple of small things planned too like split my head lights and spray the chrome edging black and finish my cone in a box.

[GeeVRSman]

looks mean!

love it

[Dark_Hero]

Love what you've done so far. Would like to see a vid with the piper fitted with 0 silencers.

I have 1 silencer on mine and it's brilliant. Would be interested if you get the owl noise

Your right, its not about the numbers really. Its about useability.

Looking forward to it!

It'll owl like mad but also sound horrific at idle, that blowing down a straw hollow noise lol.

Some like it, it drove me mad after a week so I go dry bummed by Piper for a silencer.

I wont be sitting around at idle long enough i took a chance buying it with 0 silencers but i will soon see if i like it or not, bet the other half wont though.

Anyway update today as i got home to this.

Half hour later after the extreme wrapping from piper i found this.

The tip i ordered is going to sit perfect in the bumper mould aswell, very happy with my choice

For now its collecting dust in the garage (dinning room) with many other parts in the waiting

[Dark_Hero]

Excellent can't wait to see this progress :-)

[DanHam]

Perfect choice on the tip! I really do love the Piper systems - had 2 full systems of theirs previously!

[grantc]

Nice Zorst

the cone is being used as my mock up for my cone in a box mod.

[bowen]

Looking forward to seeing it all fitted! Is the piper system good quality?

[vRS Joe]

I guarantee my living at home days would be no more if I did that to the dining room!!

Good work Joe.

Let us know when your at DTD - might pop in for a cuppa!

[joe_vrs_tdi]

[JoshH]

Time to get this turbo fitted Joey boy :p ill hopefully have a vrs soon so we'll have to sort a welsh/southwest meet up.

And get on track @ Combe again

[joe_vrs_tdi]

I no mate should be this month now as i have everything i need now. Yer defo need a meet and it will 100% be having a few sessions at combe next year.

You getting a vrs aswell as the meg or selling up?

[JoshH]

I sold it mate :( broke my heart, I just could not afford £800 a month to run it, my own fault really had the car to buy just can't loose half my earnings basically getting back and forth to work lol.

So a vrs kinda fits the bill nicely for me I think, let me know when you're going and if we're both sorted well have to get on it!
