Update..So got quite a bit more done today!!
Tial v-band clamp arrived for the exhaust housing to manifold connection..
Also the OEM RS4 injectors and fitting kit..
So the inlet manifold comes off for the injector fitting, quite a fiddly job! New injectors now in the head, just need to re fit the inlet manifold..
Other little bits such as gaskets for oil and water lines, exhaust gasket etc arrived so we could get the turbo built up with all of the fittings and lines and hang the manifold to stay with the new gasket etc..
So then the turbo was clamped up to stay. The cold side clocked round again a little for the boost pipe to be made up.. All the lines were left disconnected at the moment so there is room for the boost pipe to be fabricated up..
The difference working on this car compared to the S3 is crazy.. Seems like there is acres of room on the Golf! Suppose there is with the lack of 4WD system etc..
Don't think there will be a huge amount of fabrication required to make the downpipe work, just a little adjustment here and there, and the lower boost pipe should again be pretty good, with there being so much room we can take a much more direct path to the intercooler compared to when we did the S3..
So just a few bit of fabrication left to do, downpipe / boost pipe and re fit the inlet manifold..
Then things like plumbing up the N75 and water lines in the engine bay, these are being routed differently for a much neater finish, should look really good!!
So yeah, coming on really well.. Only problem is this is what it looks like outside at the moment!!
Hmm..
