Reflex Silver TDi Progress

[samx300]

I dig that bumper and black roof. Stance looks so much better with the springs and the wheels suit well IMO. I have a similar LED interior mod and does make all the difference. Find someone with VCDS and you can fiddle with the intensity. I recently got the footwell lights turned up to 100% and they're BRIGHT!
Looking forward to more updates!

This mod was copied sort of from Maxitrol, I'm pretty please with how it turned out!



And installed:

Nice, I'm getting mine done this week, probably in another colour. Thanks maxitrol!

Yea I went for ford electric orange. Took a day or so to prep and spray. Didn't need to be to the best of finishes as it's under the bonnet but looks okay in my opinion.

On recommendation of a fellow member, I decided to get my car detailed prior to Tunerfest at Brandhatch on Sunday, Dave from Solo Vehicle Valeting was very thorough. Took great pride in his work, and was a nice bloke to meet! Recommend him to anyone around the Kent/ London area:











Very happy with the end results!

Beautiful

Not much going on at the moment with the car, but these turned up the other day 



Now to order some HIDs and Led side lights, then to install both and get the depos coded in! Anyone local to Kent, Gravesend area whos able to help out with coding would be greatly appreciated!

Coming along nice

So today has been a struggle, but I managed to do it... Got my depo projectors in. Haven't upgraded the bulbs yet waiting for next pay day to get some HID's and LED side lights but happy with how the look at the moment!

Half way through:



Installed:



How they look on the car:







Slowly getting to how I want it to look now. ED30 front splitter and sort my empty fog wholes out and ill be pretty satisfied with how to fronts looking! Any comments / suggestions welcome!

Also booked in at AmD mid August for a full Miltek cat back exhaust. They've also got a deal on when purchasing an exhaust system they are remapping for 50% so I could turn that down!

Been on holiday so not many updates recently, but just got back from AmD Tuning in Essex and now have a full new Milltek Exhaust system and had it remapped. Unfortunately they were unable to rolling road it due to an issue with the turbo over boosting higher up the rev range... Any ideas on any fixes would be great. But car definitely feels better to drive now and liking the new sounds of the exhaust!

 





Disappointed I was unable to see the figure changes but oh well these things happen!

So what happens when your turbo overboosts? Does the engine go into limp mode?

I'd be more worried to know what's wrong with the turbo since your stage 1 tune should be an old and tested map.

Maybe your geometry needs some cleaning or something. When you have that sorted you can test the new output in a rolling road.

Hi my mechanical knowledge is not that vast tbh and in hind sight I should have asked the mechanic more questions. But he said it would be fine to run the new map but he wasn't happy to rolling road it!

Here are some photos of the paper work he printed off for me incase that helps:

I'm no mechanic but I can only see that you need to replace 2 glowplugs. Your boost pressure seems fine to me, tbh. My GT Sport is doing a bit more boost with a GTB1749V (1,34 bar stable; 1,54 bar peak), but I don't like smoke and it's not doing any smoke like I asked to.

[Shoduchi]

Maybe it's peaking a bit high, but I'm not sure how much the OEM turbo can take and that has nothing to do with your boost at higher RPM.

Haha yea I need glow plugs as well. Fair enough, maybe if I go somewhere else to get it on rollers they may test it then? Ill see how it goes for now then.
