Also, what brake setup is good?

I'm not looking for something too fancy, just something that will stop me safely when required :driver:

R32/S3 brake setup is a nice bolt on upgrade when it comes to brakes  :smiley: Something I'm also considering!

I'm not massively clued up on the workings of turbo's etc but I know you can get a pleantiful amount of power from the standard k04.. I personally wouldn't spend the money on a turbo this early on to get mad power, I'd enjoy each power upgrade for a while before upgrading again  :innocent: But that's just me! I'm easily pleased

So today kinda didn't go to plan...

Wheels weren't ready and I wasn't prepared to travel using public transport today, so the garage lent me a set of 'loan' wheels which was only until the end of the day. I've been promised the wheels will be ready by 4pm, so looks like I'll have to leave work early!

Good news is, my intercooler and downpipe including decat arrived today. The autotech HPFP also arrived from TSR performance in Somerset (thanks guys for the super quick delivery :happy2:) and my RAMAIR filter. Only things left are hard pipe kit for intake and exhaust system.

During lunch time, I quickly popped into TPS and picked up all my bits such as the 5w40 oil, rs4 fuel pressure valve, new diverter valve, sump sealant and pick up pipe. I also had a spare few minutes so dropped all my bits over to mates house and took a few pics lol. I must say, even though the car is kind of dirty, it has a really nice shine to it  :jumpmove: . I also dropped pick up pipe, oil and hpfp internals to the Lion garage as its booked in for tomorrow.













Hopefully rest of the parts arrive by tomorrow. Fingers and toes crossed :signLOL:

Guys I've ran into a problem with the exhaust. I've re read the listing and it's saying something about a sleeve required? Basically my downpipe goes from 3" to small on the end which I'm presuming fits the standard exhaust system. The problem is, my exhaust system is 2.75 through. What do I do now ? arghh. Is it something really small and not worth worrying about as I've been down since I've noticed it.
