Dans grey MK5 GTI. Prepping for VagTuner

[dansmith180]

So I finally have all the parts now (hopefully), so here's a list of everything that's being done. This is partly for my own record as there's too many things to remember 

LOBA hybrid K03
LOBA HPFP
3' downpipe (not sure where from as I didn't source it)
Forge uprated intercooler
S3/ Golf R injectors
RS4 FPRV
R8 coilpacks
Inlet manifold/ valves cleaned
Newsouth boost gauge
Helix organic clutch and new DMF
Air filter clean
Costom map

To be done/ might do:

Fix airbag light
Fix horn
Michelin PSS all round when Goodyear's die
S3 rear brakes (still need to get calipers and carriers)
Forge catch can?
RARB/ strut brace of some description?
Upgrade head unit?
Carbon B pillar covers?

After all this it should be done for a while and I will be in more debt than America but should be worth it

Nice list.

I hope you have your machine back soon! I'm still counting the days till I get mine.

That's a big compliment from a man who once posted the biggest list I've ever seen on his build thread 

Thanks, it should be 3-4 weeks but to be honest the longer it takes the more time I have to save some money so not the worst thing in the world if it takes a while.

When do you finally get yours back? It must have been a few months since you drive it.

[Shoduchi]

My car is back on the road, it's being tested to see if all runs like it should and if there are no leaks in the engine. Also eliminating new cabin rattles after fitting stiffer dogbone bushes.

I'd love to go get it next week. I still don't know if that's going to happen...

Looks good. Who did you use to clean the inlet manifold/valves?

Stealth Racing who are doing all the work will scrape/ brush out all the crap while they're in there doing the injectors and FPRV

Hybrid ko3 ?? What bhp can you achieve from that ?

Hybrid ko3 ?? What bhp can you achieve from that ?

Should be capable of 340-350bhp and 375lb/f+, but will run it at something a bit lower and more reliable for the engine and turbo. Thinking 325bhp and 350lb/f but once its all together and on the dyno we'll find out 

[DANBOY66]

looks like a mad build going on mate

hopefully you can get a great power curve as your keeping the power well with in its self

bring on the boost

[AJG09]

Gunna be abit of a weapon when its done

[AJP]

This should be good!

Looking forward to hearing the results.

Any advantage with the Loba hybrid over BBT?

Cheers boys, yes I cannot wait to get this back and have a play. However the weather will probably be sh*t so I need to try not to bury it in a tree

The advantage is LOBA didn't take as long to make it, also since we bought the HPFP as well they sorted me a very good deal.

[AJP]

Yeah makes sense. Pray for some dry roads when it's done... bet it spools like a bitch!

[th3_f15t]

Will be interesting to see how quickly it spools, my mapped K04 spools around 2400RPM now but doesn't really kick in till about 3200RPM. Fancy a race up the strip when it's done to see how a stage 2+ Golf R compares to a hybrid K03 GTI?
