Sounds like its coming together now. Very useful to know that the new MQB platform still shares its parts with the Yeti's old mk5 golf platform - quite surprising in fact but very interesting.

It's a bit of a mix mash of Mk5 & 6, makes it interesting trying to source parts though

Brakes are on their way, car needs to be at Shark for 5 days so just arranging a hire car, excited to get it all finished

Needed to purchase a new oil feed pipe for the turbo upgrade, thanks to DarkSide Developments I've found and ordered a great braided pipe.

All the other peripheral bits needed are being supplied by Shark Performance:

 

- Exhaust Manifold Gasket

- Downpipe Gasket

- Oil Return Gasket

- Oil Return O-Ring

 

All in this is costing about £1200, thats including the turbo i sourced for £150 and the hubs, callipers, carriers, discs for £300 plus fitting and mapping by Shark. 

 

If we get 180-200bhp ill be very happy and have a one off Yeti Greenline which will go and stop like no other 

 

Ive also installed the Columbus, ill get some pics up later but it looks great and the install with coding was a breeze with a little help from fluffmeister 

Another purchase from DarkSide Developments, nice shiny hard pipe work kit

Will that pipework fit?

The yeti engine bay is more spaced out than the Fabia etc

I think you are right.

May be wrong, but I believe the Golf based vehicles have the engines in a slightly different place to the Polo based ones.

Possibly a little further back.

I hope so, I double checked with the guys at DarkSide who seemed to think it was the right one?

The goodies have started to arrive

The front set up from a 2014 Leon FR, hubs, callipers, carriers, discs, pads. I'm chuffed with the condition, I was told it had 1000 miles on and the discs/pads seem to tell the same story as they look unused!!

They do have another kit for Mk6 Golf platform vehicles, I've just called and asked them to check.

Once again Briskoda to the rescue, it was the wrong kit, they have recalled the other kit and sending the new one out, thanks for the help

Nice to meet you Darrell, I've been ill for a few days, but will drop those disks in the post for you, did the trim turn up ok?

Thanks for all your help and sorting the discs out, hope your feeling better. Have to meet up and let you have a spin when the turbo conversions done

One hard Pipework Kit and a braided oil feed pipe, the quality of the kit is fantastic, I do get excited by a tidy weld

Not a very exciting update, but the brake lines have turned up for the 312mm upgrade, only ordered it last night from Euro Car Parts, very quick delivery!

as promised, the Columbus upgrade installed and working perfectly, now updated with the latest firmware and V12 Maps thanks to fluffmeister 

I haven't read all the posts but why did you go for a greenline if you want performance, go for a 2 litre and tune that?

Already been done, not just about performance, it's doing something new, a 2.0tdi or 1.8tsi have already been done, now ive got a one off, as far as we know, the only one in existence
