Don't use poly dog-bone mount bushes...

Ive ordered some 2 part liquid polyurethane to make a hybrid rubber and polyurethane bush. Im going to fill the gaps between the rubber with polyurethane like an insert. Im hoping this will be a good balance and wont be too hard. Ill report back next week once its arrived. -
Turbo Swap Choices for EA211 1.2 TSI

How much was the turbo back. I've just fitted the AliExpress down pipe. It doesn't fit properly. The pipe doesn't sit in the mounts so is just hanging. It sounds like it's blowing where it goes into the resonator. The pipe doesn't seem to be the right size -

It's arrived. It doesn't look to bad. Getting the old one out is a pain. The repair manual says to drop the subframe. I'm going to cut it in half tomorrow. I should be able to get it out in two pieces -

I found this in a pdf about the ea211 engine. It seems like the 1.4 120hp engines do have a slightly larger turbo than the 1.2. I thought they were the same -

I ordered it at the end of February. I've seen mixed reviews since. If it ever comes I'll report back if it's any good -
While under the car the other day I noticed the driveshaft heat shield had come loose and was sitting on the drive shaft. This has put a slit in the inner CV boot. No grease seems to have come flying out. How complicated is it to replace the boot? How does the CV joint come off the driveshaft?

My mini impact got the driveshaft nut off easily. Now I'm just waiting for the new knuckle. I did the ball joint on the other side today it was super easy. Took about half an hour not sure why the other side was so bad.

Tried to do the ball joints this week. Didn't go well. The nut was seized and I didn't want to remove the drive shaft. Tried removing it with an angle grinder. I've ruined the knuckle. So I've got a new knuckle and hub on the way. Hopefully I can get the drive shaft out without putting it back on the floor as the ball joint is in pieces.

I have been getting arround 35 mpg. Car went in for alignment today. It said laser alignment on their website. They only did the toe. They didn't check anything else. In the service manual it says camber can be adjusted by loosening the subframe bolts and prying it. It seems better but not perfect. Steering wheel was aiming slightly left when going straight now it's slightly to the right but not as much.
