slightly concerning the mani being so tight and a complete a$$ to fit!

well AMD are doing the work, but then still it will cost extra labour time!

There's quite a bit of clearance between mani and firewall and "touch wood" i've had no probs as yet

Could be worth speaking to AMD just to let them know, a selection of 12mm spanners should see them right though

It's been a while since my last update so here goes.

After saying for ages i was going to sort my oil cooler i finally got round to having it measured up and getting it ordered, it's now at work ready for fitting but after ordering the plans for the car changed again :whistle:

An add on the forum caught my eye and after talking myself in and out of it i decided to go for it, the add in question was for Alex from Backdraft's K04 set-up.

After a run up to Milton Keynes on monday (which also happened to be my birthday) i had in my possesion everything i need for the conversion bar a 3" maf and air filter, these will be with me within the next week all being well.

So tuesday night work started removing the old K03s set-up ready for it's new owner, current state of play is k04 mani and turbo are on and im currently re-working the pipework for the heater matrix.

There's a couple of bits im going to have a play about with and may even remove the front to fit the oil cooler and new lines at the same time.

I've only got a few pics so far but will try and get some more as i progress

Also seeing as the downpipe had the holes already there for EGT and wideband sensors i thought it would be an idea to invest in a decent gauge and relevent sensors to fill them

It's looking good mate! Should be good fun once it's all done. I now see what you mean about the wiring for the gauge....nightmare!

Wonder who the new K03s owner is??:whistle:

After reading through the destructions it looks easy enough, im more concerned with where im going to mount the bloody thing

I also wonder where the k03s is going :funk:

its going to be a monster what power you expecting?

Not entirely sure to be honest, somewhere round 280bhp i guess, i'll just be happy with it in and running, then i can look at setting it all up to my driving style and use

I know you can get 51mm gauge holders for the Mk4 Golf that replace the air vents. Not sure if anyone makes them for the Ibiza dash but could be worth a look into.

Atleast you've got a spare dash to practice on before it goes in anyway!

It'll be worth it in the end:)

I wished it was alive for Cadwell to, the veccy was fun but not as much as the ibiza

I never had it on the rollers after the manifold but it deffinatly pulled much harder through the mid range, you'll be pleased with your's once you've given it some stick ;)
