skud missile

Still in Saudi but return this Friday so might get a chance too, But have a Mk4 supercharged Golf V5 to rebuild so might struggle for time..

can reproduce for a generous sum:) This is the fit the TOYOSPORT Type B 600mm x 300mm x 76mm But can be retro fitted by the customers dimensions of cooler BUT I only know this fits very well behind the S3 bumper. I've fitted the Vrs bumper to my octavia 1.8t 4x4 so could remove that and see if it'll fit behind that with the same cooler if I get enough interest

Cheers, made the frame to cradel the fmic as to hang it off the oem slam pannel looks a bit rough lol Also it fits better too with my frame:) The boost pressure testers I had made to my spec

Can vouch fo the toyosport intercooler, lasting well through numerous washes without corrosion issues unlike some more expensive versions... But don't forget to pressure test after for leaks

Speak to Bill at Badger5 as he may have a few spare about

Thanks for the kind words. More to come, New wishbones, Poly bushes, Coilovers and thicker ARB

Hope its to every ones enjoyment:)

Cheers fella well the plan was to fit the old KO4 to the skud missile but the hotside is cracked so there would be too much build effort to go in with a defective turbo:(

So the Badger5 trip begins, now most people would drive there car down for mapping but due to fitting the Hybrid KO4 without a map I was running off actuator pressure as I've disconnected the N75 valve as I didn't want to damage the motor but this almost makes the car very difficult to over take etc etc so hired a self drive transporter and used there clutch so to speak lol Took the missus with me as I had booked us a nice little hotel in the Cotswolds as I was due to treat the missus from all the time I spent away off shore and working on the S3 car and other customers so quite literally 2 birds with 1 stone, as this'll give Bill plenty time to up rev his mani and map and do some making up to the missus Very happy with the end results, but wasn't easy due to the rr being 30+C and having to wait for the motor to cool, even with water meth and 3 massive fans and Mark spraying water on the huge fmic. Very interesting point Bill pointed out was the brand of water meth I was using which is just VAG concentrate screen wash which claims to be up to 49% meth 49% water and rest cleaner and fragrance. Not idle due to the heat of the rr so Bill made up his own water meth mix which is virgin grade meth 99.85 or there about's and a little of the stuff I had supplied for colour and she accepted another 2 more degrees of timing and another couple bhp but lowers ait's egt's respectively. Consequently I know make up my own mix from a local supplier of 99.85% meth and it really does make a difference running proper meth. By no means am I slagging the company that supplies lots of people across the UK with there own water meth mix as it does do a good job but there's always room for improvement but at the end of the day its a compromise. And here is the proof of Bills v mani producing the goods...low egt's VS power on the highest map 347BHP 865-885'c typically peak and after 3 back to back runs, just crept into 900'c compare that with other set-ups and stage 1&2 std k04 cars which will be getting to the egt protection threshold if 920 frequently whilst making considerably less power, all credit to Bills mani:) So 347BHP and 296FtIbs which i very pleasing from all the hard graft, particularly that the BAM is still on standard bore @ 116K just with new rings. Bills rr is very conservative with power, in particular the torque which looks a little low but on the road there's no shortage of it lol. So I leave with 5 map selectable software and really makes this a proper B road weapon

In addition to installing the wmi kit i've installed a pressure gauge post solenoid valve to confirm what pressure the water meth pump is running at for tweaking during mapping as standard setting iirc is 200psi. it can go as low as 150psi or as high as 250psi.

Haven't updated my Briskoda in quite a while so here goes.. Just before the Badger5 trip was thinking it'll be wise to uprate the brakes as the standard ones are ok if your grannies driving but not for what I have in mind lol So that being said a nice set of D3 360mm 6pot set up shall suffice:) # Didn't take long to bed in, running fast road pads as not planning on sending her into a track day gravel trap lol And coming from my Mk1 Octavia 4x4 1.8t20v which already has the S3 brake upgrade I almost put myself through the S3 wind shield when using the new brakes for the first time lmao. And when I go back to the Octy I barely stop due to the little brake travel required in the S3, so a little caution required me thinks.

Well your meant to change the water pump when you do the timing belt and if you don't then this will eventually happen, the old metal impeller pumps used to leak through the seal around the shaft.

Also heat wrapped the 3" down pipe and sports cat, even tho i soaked it in water over night it still itched the ****e outta me lol

Don`t Know yet as i`m still needing a mapper to be available next month, Bills booked up till June:(

Still to fit the Water Meth Injection tho, half way through it now but off shore in Saudi doesn't help :( Also vcds flagged up a DTC not supported or comms error with the Haldex coupling for the Quattro system and found this, a snapped Haldex earth strap due to corrosion. Easy to fix with a batt earth cable wrapped in electrical tape. A surprise surprise the Skud missile had the same error message and snapped earth strap, once sorted the DTC clears:)
