Had my car serviced today, also finally got the Porsche NQSBBK fitted bought from @Martin_jk too! It's a bit too early to tell as I'm just bedding in at the moment which is a bit scary on fresh pads and discs! One thing I definitely need however is some spacers...Talk about cutting it thin! Pretty lucky it fits just behind my BBS CO's which has an offset of 47, think 15-20mm spacers should be enough to give it some much needed breathing space.

Now a tiny score won't exactly release a bar of pressure but surely that's not right. Has anyone else seen scoring on theirs? A while back plenty of knock off ones were floating around too which is also a worry!@fab5freddy what the fishy fcuk?!!! Not seen that before! I'll be checking mine tonight. Luke, the orange O ring on the smaller inner piston is completely shredded on his.I'm not that worried about the scoring tbh, it's more the possibility of it jamming shut or open when things get hot in there!Yeah, not impressed Will update when i get a reply from GFB or AMD Interested in the response on this too.

Polished the brass piston with some Autosol, lubed it and put back together. It's hard to see in the pic, but it looks like your nipple has 2 O rings on it? Mine only has 1.I forgot how annoying these are, even on KO4 engine. The piston and spring fell out whilst reassembling it. The piston rolled under the car and spring vanished into the engine somewhere, took me 30 mins to find it. I was close to launching the thing over the wall and putting the standard one back in
Fitted a mk6 climate control, seems to be working ok...i just plugged the connectors into the back of this and done the basic and compressor setting via the controller....Anyone know if I need to do anything else?Ordered the trim, will fit tomorrow

As there seems to be loads of part numbers for them but they look identical. Don't want to pick up the wrong one. I'm going to do this mod to as my interior is mostly MK6 anyway accept the clocks and DSG gaitor.Thanks
Fit the trim for the mk6 climate, sprayed the trims gloss black for cleaner look, was wrapped in 5D carbon fibre vinyl before

So easy to fit!! Surely with these you can see up close the tabs inside? And I'm guessing they are slightly larger to slide over the OEM pipes?
