Where did you get the washer bottle from?
And have you replaced the power steering bottle as well?
Looks awesome fair play, not sure if i like the black no. plate tho.

EIP does turbo VR6s since years,,, obviously you can't just bolt a turbo on the inlet mani and go like that,,, you need to lower compression [and changing a lot of other stuff like fueling etc.] and that can be done with different head gasket and/or pistons,,,
I see you what you mean now. From what Ive learnt alot of people havent bothered with that route and just tried to short cut by bolting on thus, melting the whole lot.
Sounds like a proper expensive option that, Would that be cheaper than the Supercharger route then?
people that just bolt on a turbo are people who are utterly stupid.
it is an expensive upgrade obviously,,, I *guess* it's more expensive than using a supercharger, but this is based purely by assuming you won't lower the compression [changing pistons and/or head gasket]. anyway, in both cases you'll need a different intake mani, an IC, fueling upgrade [injectors and/or fuel pump], the turbo needs a different exhaust mani too, the sc needs a pulley system, then you got oil routing and there's surely other stuff I'm forgetting,,, both mods are kinda expensive but if you're clever you can do alot of stuff by yourself [like dpj has done upgrading his turbo] and save major €€.

No mate trying to sell them as i have got a new set in mind!!
The washer bottle is an All Smiles one got it off a guy on ED38, they don't make them any more.
The power steering bottle is the standard one but with a polished cap on it.
Spent a few hours on the VR this morning, as the tax ran out on New Years eve and i am not going to tax it for a few months as it will not really be used while the weather is ****.
This is probably the dirtiest one of my cars has been in years!!!!!

So after a wash and a quick going over with some polish and wax just to keep it protected while she is undercover there will be a full detailing session ready for the show season.
And now tucked up under cover in my car port.
Got a few plans for it while its off the road and hopefully a new set of wheels as soon as i can find some money!!!

Well the merc rims got sold on as i decided i wanted some 17's instead so have been looking out for some rims but not sure what i want really. Anyway after a quick call from my mate rob saying there was a set of TT rims going cheap on the bay i put in a bid and won for £123!
Not exactally the most original rims on a mk3 and not what i ultimately want as they have been done to death but will do for the time being and will add a bit of bling once they have been polished.
On the car with the standard 225/45/17's soon to be changed for the tyres of the RS6 rims. Also need to get some spacers for the rears.
Finally got round to getting the ends of my strut brace powdercoated black and being fitted with stainless allen head bolts.
Pics not the best but will get some more when the wheels have been sorted. Also got a few other bits to be sorted before she is back on the road at the end of the month.

They have mirror polished faces with the cut outs and insides powdercoated black and then fitted with some 205/40 instead of the 225/45 thats on them now! Should look better then!
Finally got my wheels back from the powdercoaters, have had the faces stripped and the insides and cutouts done gloss black.
Car is now also on coilovers but no pics yet.
