My KO4 MK5 GTi
« on: January 24, 2012, 01:16:16 pm »
Here's a few pics of the GTi since ive had it, been around two months now.

when i got it:



fitting the BSH PCV fix:











the crap th stock PCV lets into the inlet mani:



then i went and tidied up the bay with a new filter and a good clean!









and i used a filter sock to keep it that way













then i fitted the BSH boost tap:





then it was time to take off the GT28 and go back to an OEM setup, i just prefer the delivery of the KO4.







while i was there i fitted up a BSH catch can because this is what i found in the crankcase breather!



other than that i have gone back to the stock splitter and modified the front legs so it sits a little lower :)





hopefully lots more to come soon! :happy2:

Looking forward to seeing the updates, lose track on ED38 as the build threads move that fast.
Reckon you can have it close in power to the MK4?  :drool:

Nice looking car mate. Just one question, what's the deal with the rear view mirror?

ha! the rear view mirror - it's just old habbit from running RWD cars with locked diffs and bald rear tyres. it's handy to see if theres police about  :driver:

torque wise it's at 350ft/lb - it changes all the time though as im allways tinkering and trying out new setups to get a little more power  :happy2:
