Nice bit of a wait though. Are you going hybrid?

Earliest date they had unfortunately :( its fine it stops me racking commuting mileage up i guess. And i can save more money

Piper exhaust ordered thanks to rob @w8performance for his help andinfo

quick update, slow progress, mainly ordering and receiving

pd150 injectors, new injector seals, fast road clutch, lightened smf flywheel,

still to order, timing belt kit, water pump, egr cooler delete, head gasket

also bought myself a little beauty in the meantime

mk2 golf gti 16v, needs a good spruce up but shes worth it under the hood

Finally, some pictures of what ive been up to

2.5" piper cat back with no silencers fitted, twin round tip

started taking the gearbox off

hubs off, ready for vrs front hubs and brakes to go on

old clutch out

new lightened g60 flywheel fitted

new uprated vr6 clutch fitted, should take the torque, I hope!

CG Motorsports dimpled and grooved discs front and rear arrived yesterday, look absolutely stunning in terms of craftsmanship so thumbs up to everyone there, lets hope they perform aswell as they look.

Also, had the s3's alloys refurbed, just need some new rubber to suit!

Wow good progress mate won't be long til its up and running again

Cheers bud =] Shes set for turbo and mapping onthe 12th and 13th of august.

Just head gasket, head bolts, timing kit, water pump and injectors to fit next. Intercooler pipework to modify.

And ill be happy=] powerwise anyways, keep thinking of interior mods i could do :p

Good progress there Luke. I'm now happy with the power out of my PD100

The KKK on mine didn't blow, the vanes kept sticking guess that what happens when I have a high mileage Fabia (178k miles and rising )

I gad too aggressive a map on my car, overboosted like mad :'(

Sounds like the vanes had stuck, mine would could overboost cause of this.

So glad I bought a Garrett unit (GT1749V) it was used but in very good condition, ~6400 miles since being fitted beginning of March and still going strong

Vanes were working fine on mine when i checked last. Just too much boost aha. Ive opted for the gtb1756

I hope so aha was tempted to go sleeper look but my intercooler wont fit behind a standard facelift bumper :'(

slow progress, Off to darkside in 2 weeks though!!

 

opted for launch control and a hard cut limiter to be mapped in also, should be fun

 

currently waiting for timing tools so I can get the belt back on after doing the headgasket and uprated bolts.

 

if anyone wants to come do it for me, theyre more than welcome :p
