Si's mk2 vrs is no more. *SOLD*

[SNH]

I'll look into it once a few other bits are sorted

[James I]

Big question is, does it go faster now?  Or does it use more fuel as induction noise is addictive!

Nowhere near as addictive or as awesome as the vr6 dude :(

Waiting on a dv coming from Clive so can't really give it to much.

Picks up a lot quicker and there's a bit more turbo/dv noise.

Still comparing to the vr6 and until I've done what I want to do it doesn't come close yet.

As nice as the TFSI engine is its one ugly looking engine!   a nice looking engine cover is a must!

TTS one is on the cards

[Stu08]

Looks good mate! Quick one; where can you get the TTS cover from?

Not a clue pal, that's my next mission lol

[ConanBarbarian]

TTS one is by far the best option IMO.

Neuspeed?

[j0hn]

No, Audi.

[ConanBarbarian]

No, Audi.

I mean, why TTS is the best option? The only downside of the Neuspeed CF cover is the price.

[j0hn]

I don't want to disrupt Si's thread, but IMO the Neuspeed engine cover looks terrible.

The Audi TT-S cover just looks like it was meant to be there anyway.

[SNH]

I'd have to agree with john, doesn't look at all worth it's price tag. I prefer the tts tbh.

[SNH]

If all goes to plan these should be winging there way to me tomorrow

8.5x18

Et25

They will at some stage get a re-furb, polished lips and rallye green centres.

Should be a nice snug fit once some Coilovers are sourced and the desired look can be achieved

[j0hn]

Going for the 18s then?

You're braver than me with that offset but I guess you know what you're doing.

[SNH]

The 19's were dearer to buy and needed tyres so would have put me over budget and got me in trouble with swmbo

Although the 18's need a little tlc there not desperate and I've had quotes for polishing the rims and painting the centres at a decent price.

The offset will either work or it won't but I'll give it a go

Hopefully they'll be here by the weekend so we shall see, also ordered a 42draft design catch can pcv revamp

Again hopefully be on at the weekend.

Wellycooler purchased

[SNH]

And collected!

Got to love being a truck driver

[j0hn]

Is that going to be sat in front of your a/c rad and will it replace the stock intercooler?

[SNH]

Yep and yep

Found some pipe work in the us just working out shipping cost. Either that or I've a mate who does alloy fab so I'll get him to knock something up

[j0hn]

Why is it called a Welly Cooler?

[SNH]

Something to do with the guy that first tried one I think, was his name iirc.

They flow a lot better than most of the big names but are a fraction of the cost. Good gains have been had from the few that have tried them on the tfsi.

[SNH]

4 nice parcels waiting for me when I got home

8.5x18

Et25

Slightly stretched 215/35/18 tyres.

Not as dished as originally thought but once the lips are polished and the centres painted they should be ok.

[j0hn]

Blimey. Are they 5x112? Guess they were originally an Audi or Merc offset?

Test fit tomorrow?

[SNH]

Yeah 5x112, merc fit originally I think.

They'll be on tomorrow after work

Had a measure up and they'll be a flush fit which is what I'm after when I can afford Coilovers
