MK5 ED 30 - thanks bud

oh may days  :grin: - sounds interesting bud, seen a few mk7 / r20 bumper conversions popping up on insta, i already have all the loom and sensors installed for xenons for where i transplanted the golf loom but i'm a wierdo and never liked the look of xenons  :signLOL:

J400uk - thanks bud, i'm pretty sure it is as far as i've found trawling the interwebs it's the second ever touran quattro (first being a russian guy - tdi dsg conversion) and one of 2 or 3 tfsi tourans, it's certainly the only tfsi quattro touran and possibly the fastest / most powerful touran  :driver:

Orc - thanks Ollie, i'm more of an Olly but still  :grin:

Rich - you have no idea  :wink: that ebay thing ruined the car, it's stupid how one little constant annoyance can make you so angry, at least this one works without being shouted at or constantly prompted to do what it was made to do  :happy2:

Ricky - thanks man, love your car and wish i had your brakes  :love: need to catch it in the flesh soon

Managed to pick up a full set of s3 / r32 etc brakes (only needed rear so will sell fronts on)

Ever since i went for the 370mm ttrs fronts the rears were dwarfed and under very heavy braking the tail got a bit loose, so been looking for the 310mm vented set up for a while, after a few UPS dramas (losing 2 discs) it all arived (in installments) i'd already bought shields and pads



So off with the old 286mm gti set up



And on with the 310mm luckily came in black to match ttrs fronts



Look bit more purposeful behind the helious :)

Also gotsome topran horns, somehow during the swap 2 same tone horns were fitted and sounds terrible so rather than mess about working out what tone is what i bought new hi and low pair



Also bought a new s/wheel and gearknob yesterday, unsure of what they'll look like fitted but looked good in the ebay adverts haha

matt81 - thanks bud, just freshening it up a bit  :happy2:

at the weekend it was treated to a mop by the painter and fresh haldex oil and filter again after i let it settle down after the swap, hoping turbo will be here in next week or so - although i've agreed to help a mate out and rebuild his mk4 after it was bare shell resprayed and everything is in boxes  :signLOL:

Very nice mate, who did the steering wheel? I'd like a slightly smaller one.. Do they modify your existing one? As I have the Mk6 style in my Scirocco..

I had mine rebuilt as flat bottom and 3 & 9 oclock retrimmed in suede with red stitching.  I forget the name of the company, sent my wheel to Germany to have it done.  Will try and dig out the info

Not a lot been happening lately, bought some passat r36 rear ap coilover springs to try and stem the squat as they have the higest axle load on the platform

Touran rear vs passat



Unfortunately even with adjusters etc out it sat way to high, so refitted touran items while i consider what to do next



Also decided to tend to my handbrake



Bought a leather handbrake off ebay but wasn't the cleanest so removed the trim and leather cover





And fitted an ebay cover in place of the leather



Fitted

Do you know if you could send off a k03 turbo to be made into a TTE420?
I thought the k03/k04 units were the same, just different internals?
