Update: yesterday after work I finally started her up and she sounds just like a Ferrari   :happy2:
When I left the workshop they only had to fit the bumper but I guess they will do it today and on monday the software file will be loaded, they just made my weekend but the wait was worth it   :happy2:

Update: Tuning started today.

On the dyno  :smiley:


Until the GIAC controller arrives to save the 3 maps the car will have the 1.5 bar boost file on that will be good for 280 kW, when the controller arrives the race map will be loaded onto it which boosts 1.8 bar   :evilgrin:  which I will only load for special occasions such as dyno days as this was the main reason for the build so who knows I might even hit the 300 kW mark.

Some updates: Decided to buy the V-maxx coilovers, they are only height adjustable, also bought a BSH catch can, all of this will be fitted this morning, decided to take the 19" BBS wheels but that will only be on the car in a week or two, below some pics.

My coilovers look similar to these

Im now just trying to sort out the exterior, decided on a Vortex front spoiler, colour code the side skirts, and two tone rear bumper, im still checking who is the best is to do the spray job.

Ordered the following LED’s, CREE Number plate lamps, LED interior and LED park lights.

Update: Completed the 1000 km's yesterday and everything still running smoothly, I still want to get used to the car so I decided to take it in for the service next Tuesday and for the final tuning.

After work I dropped off the Vortex front spoiler to have it sprayed, removed side skirts and rear bumper for colour coding. Still waiting on my LED light package to arrive.

Also ordered carbon black vinyl to cover the front VW badge, red mag wheel pinstriping kit and while at it also just got some new valve caps.

Rear bumper removed


Side skirts removed
