So time for a big update

Visited Alex @ AKS on thursday who did the following:

1. Fitted Southbend Stage2 Oraganic Clutch and SMF
2. Fitted Quaife LSD with ARP Bolts
3. Fitted H&R Front Roll Bar
4. Fitted AKS Tuning metal gearbox bushes
5. 30K service
6. Alignment

Some Pictures:





Picked the car up this morning, Alex said my gearbox is in perfect condition (Unlike my old FR TDI), The OEM clutch is still in really good condition but the OEM DMF is knackered. The Southbend kit which is a silent kit (was very noisy on my FR TDI) is silent on this car, LSD feels amazing.

This afternoon popped round to APR to get Stage2+ flashed and all i can say now is WOW, The difference between Stage1+ and Stage2+ is immense really cant wait for RAF Marham 30-130 day now




Car in the background is a factory built SEAT MK2 Leon Supercopa, Fitted with a APR Stage3 Turbo Kit ready for Britcar

Been after a replacement engine cover for a while as the standard one doesnt fit with the intake

Audi TTS one does thought but TPS/Audi always have to order it so ive never bothered.. popped into Crewe Audi on sat and they had one sat there did it for £90 with all the mounts needed (think TPS wanted £93) 

All as it really does is stops water dripping on my coil packs





My idea is to colour code it slightly by doing the black bits gloss black im not sure wether to keep the audi badge and do it yellow with the TFSI badge or to remove Audi badge and fit a SEAT Sport badge instead.

Tps is 98 quid.  Customer of mine went into his local Audi and they wanted 190!

Was yours the latest version?

Alex, do you know anyone that would want a flat cam cover like mine to swap?
