Welcome to our new sponsor Lecatona, a brand dedicated to enhancing performance for VAG group sports cars, including SEAT, Audi, Volkswagen and Škoda. Specializing in High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) upgrades.
The only VAG tuner in Scotland, they've offered to trailer it up for me, a chance to redeem themselves, Dastek have a reputation for blowing up and breaking cars, Wallace is in Aberdeen so way too far .... no other choice?
Well I've found a local company who are happy to collect my car and trailer it up to Star, they phoned me today, so it's going to be tomorrow or Wednesday it's being taken up there.
** latest updates ** - car is being trailered to Star tomorrow, looks like they'll start putting it all back together on Monday, so should be back on the road by middle of next week hopefully. All I need them to do it refit the turbo, manifold and exhaust, plus fit the track density dogbone mount too, I'll fit the oil cooler, street density engine mounts, etc. myself when I get it back home.
I asked Jabba Sport if they had any baffled sumps as I'd like one fitted while the car is up in the air and has no oil in it ........... as usual they have none and are very little help.
Ianb - I have no idea how you managed to get one, I've been trying for a year. 
Seems a lost cause.
USRT have despatched the Walbro fuel pump and harness.

thats interesting
think I might make that call sometime as well
if its anything to go by the quality of the FMIC, it should be very nice
I've dropped a line to Pro Alloy, if required I'll have Star remove my sump and send it to them for modification to have the baffles added.

A baffled sump is only really needed for trackdays Jamie, I plan on doing lots of trackdays hence the need for a baffled sump and oil cooler.

hmmm ok
I think the oil cooler is still a good buy though, if the car is getting hammered on the road or track

why does it have to be a vag garage to fit a turbo?
nothing special about it being a VAG
Better the devil you know?
Don't know really, I don't trust an unknown garage, most of the tuners up here ALL have bad stories about them. Dastek are fairly close to me but have a really bad reputation, they've blown at least 4 engines I know of and broken a few bumpers, wheels, etc..

was'nt the current pro alloy one the one with lockwire for hinges?
No idea Bill, been trying for absolute ages to find a baffled sump and still no success.
Car is being collected tomorrow between 9-10am. Should be back on the road by the end of next week.
Basically knackered my back trying to get the exhaust, DP, etc. back far enough to get the turbo and manifold in, I can't stretch over the engine or get under the car without being in alot of pain.
