Dont have any further "plans" for the car. Just want to get myself round Nurburgring at some point.

Join the club, thinking May time and convoy it over with the other members off here.

Not updated this for some time!

i kept the NON RES exhaust because the noise was  :evilgrin:

I bought some 17" gti wheels and have wrapped them in some r888's for the ring next year.

Yesterday i went to have my exhaust mount wealded again due to so much engine movement...So i bought:



Had them fitted this morning.

Noise has increased in low rev range, a little too much for my liking but im going to see if they get better after bedding in!


Next up is replace all bushes, some TT wishbones and a intercooler!

Another fairly big update.

Was losing boost quite substantially in the higher rev range, and peak power was 230bhp  :grin: Big thanks to PDT for spending time on my car narrowing down where the issue could be and er...turning my exhaust round the correct way.

I had a smoke test done, which showed boost pipes were fine.

Took the car to PSI tuning in stoke to have the DP taken off and the turbo inspected for a crack. They have taken the intake off and blanked off the DV in search of a loud screech that comes from the car when on boost. Its pointing to the turbo, it could be something as cheap as a gasket or as expensive as the turbo internals, but didnt want to say 100% unless the turbo is off the car.

I have decided to go K04 rather than spending cash taking a turbo off and replacing it with the same thing. PSI has made me an offer i cant refuse regarding going to APR software + Fitting turbo. Two benefits i can see are that it doesn't disappear when disconnecting the battery and i can once again return to Awesome GTI for any map changes.

I never really planned to go K04 when i got the car and has been a hard decision to make as to if its going to be worth it, but with 310-330bhp its means i have a much bigger willy to wave now.

PSI tuning offer APR and CC remaps, APR don't do a DSG map and from what i have read i wouldn't touch a CC map. So i will be hopefully taking the car to Nick @ R tech for his DSG map.



These are the bits im going to purchase:

079 130 757 - RS4 Pressure release valve.

06F 145 751 - S3 Intermediate flange

1K0 145 845 A - pressure hose

06F 145 757 F - gasket for oil pan?

1K0 145 762 BM - pressure pipe

06F 133 073 D - Intake Manifold Gasket

06F 253 039 E - Exhaust Manifold Gasket

N 908 945 01 - 5 x  hex. nut, self-locking - exhaust stud nuts

N 102 861 08 - 4 x shouldered hex. nut, self-locking

N 013 851 4 - 4 x sealing washer These are the copper sealing washers for the oil and coolant lines.

N 910 848 01 - 4 x mounting bolts for the DV into the stock S3 flange

06F 145 383 L - DV Mounting Bracket

1K0 253 115 K - Downpipe gasket

N 044 502 3 - 4 x Downpipe studs
