Lovely car chris as you know..

You remember are little Play my ko3 cupra and yours on tuesday night lol...

 

[ChrisCurzon]

Bit of and update for you said would try keep it upto date

I bought a few new parts for its recently

If you cant tell from pics iv got FK coilovers, Brembo brakes, AM cooler with pipe work and Bailey coolant bottle.

I fitted the cooler today took ages as wanted to get it right some pics on when fitting i havent got a fitted one yet as went too dark to take good one

My manifold is still blowing so not felt full benefits yet but it defo is miles better with new cooler than old one on there anyway

So next on list is to try some how to stop the manifold from blowing, but think im going to have to take that to a garage to get done as i cant get to the nut. But will be fitting brakes and suspension this week hopefully

Let us know what you think of the upgrades

Sound i seen the pipe work looks very good quality, why is your turbo called a am04 just out of interest , is it a ko3 or ko3s hybrid and do you know who did the turbo ?

yea pipe work it top notch really light all smooth bends in it and fits spot on.
basically the AM04 is a unsilenced k03s hybrid (k04 internals, porting, balancing, interchangable bearing cartridge, larger impellor wheel, larger enterance etc etc) and tis called a am04 as the company that made it where called AM motorsport.

 

[arron2004]

Spot on thats answered every thing spot on thanks chris why do ppl have them silenced ? are AM motorsport around had a look on net and cant seem to find em

 

[jamiebennett81]

Chris check out my build thread for issues with the mani and bolts....

when you fit yours, make sure the bolts are long enough for the thread to go through the nuts and actually lock

I strongly suggest buying one of these as well to further lock the bolts and nuts in place...
