hi all been on for a while but never really posted so thought it was a bout time to get some pics of my gti and also some pics of my old cars

first is my red top corsa R32 blue

then got my LCR

was quite happy with my leon until i got a drive in rubber toe's K04 gti

so decided to get myself a nice graphite blue one

did'nt take me long before i was after more power so got me some K04 goodies

some build shots

K04 has been on for a while and just recently put on my uprated hpfp
absolutely loving the car and power , still got lots of plans but i'll update as i go

comments good or bad welcome

Nice build, but the pictures got me curious, why have you taken the engine out for a K04 build??
And since you have bought new hoses for the IC i assume you changed to the S3 IC also??
With Revo chip do you have a graph of your output?

Great build

its about time you got some pics up

you know i love it mate

danishmkv - we decided to take the engine out because we felt it was easier and quicker than doing the job with the engine in , only took 4 1/2 hours to do the job start to finish and it took longer to do my conversion with the engine in

thanks m8!

erm the s3 ic is on my to do list in the near future! unfortunitly i dont have

a graph printout!

once the ic is on itl be straight to the rollers to c how she goes!

like rubber toe says it was alot easier with engine out it meant 1 of us cld replace the ko3 whilst

the other could change the injectors, which went rather smoothly!

NICE

Thx for the replies:

Taking it out meant refilling the Ac and at the same time cooling, but it just goes to show there are no one way about things

Why did you buy hoses for the IC if you didn't change the IC?

Looking forward to your graphs, i'm waiting for the tuningcompany to do some magic then it's of to the rollers b4 and after fitting

yeah changed the turbo outlet pipe as k03 one didnt fit into the new turbo so just got rest of the pipe anyway, less to do later

Scoty get your finger out for 2010

Graphite blue is one of the nicest colours for the GTI IMO
