Should have fmic and pipe work done next week.

I'll be at Extreme Motorsports rolling road in Whitburn on the 24th and the Stirling meet on the 25th.

Massive throw back. Just found your build thread and recognised the car. Was a couple of years ago but I managed this snap of your car and my sage Green Golf back then. (Had a 320d, a Golf 170 tdi and now the Octavia vRS).

Glad to be part of the green brigade now. Will need to get a build thread up myself.

I think this was the first time I ran the car on Extreme's rolling road, I was a Briskoda newbie!

Ha ha, I was a complete newbie too. Think I had the car mapped a few weeks. Was chuffed to bits to see I got 182 bhp out of a standard (with map) Golf 140 TDi. Will be interesting to see what path the Octavia goes down.

Nice to see the TD 1.2s on a Furby. I had some for my Golf but sold up. :-( how'd u rate them for feel (road feedback, etc).

What's your estimate on power with the new blower?

From the little I can remember it was meticulously clean:

Fancy cleaning mine? How far from Edinburgh do you live? Does the Extreme Rolling Road occur regularly?

I've not been to Extreme for ages, only did two rolling road days there. I'm living in Gorebridge near Dalkeith now, back working in Edinburgh. I like the TD's, they're definitely growing on me. I don't know if there's a big difference between 7" and 8" width on handling but with the 215's and AP coilovers it's pretty good, I took the hybrid back to Xman so I'm still on the standard turbo.

Extreme is no longer, the work unfortunately dried up so John closed down

Why'd you return the turbo Kenny?

The only real feedback I heard was that a garage had two turbo's let go after only doing fifty miles each so I didn't want to risk it.

Don't blame you there.

If your still interested in going the hybrid route I'll be fitting my new turbo in the summer time. So my current one will be looking for a new home

I have my sights set on an MDX446 if I can get the money together.

Oh cool, that will be great

Hope so, will get Ecotune in Hamilton to map it.

New fmic hoses.

Fmic fitted.

 

Nice one. Looks great

Taking advantage of the holiday weather.

Looks good..!

Where abouts is the map sensor?

If you still run the original side mount intercooler it's screwed on to that, with the Forge kit there's a pipe with a flange for it behind the headlight at the chassis leg.

New phone cover.

New lcr splitter on.

Sweet! Looks great

Another new addition to the Forge collection.

Thanks to R1Davie for the pic.

Strut brace fitted.
