New revised SFS turbo outlet connectors
Well yesterday, my new SFS turbo outlet connectors turned up, i was quite surprised of how quickly they came, considering i spoke to Anthony at SFS on monday at half 4!! Good stuff The reason i got two connectors is that the ones they supplied me with had to be grinded down alot just to fit, the new revised ones he said would not need any grinding down etc and would be a straight fit. Tbh the new one fitted pretty perfect, just one of the lugs needed a tiny bit taken off, as pictured below and the rubber o ring seal they supplied was far too big and wouldnt go in, luckily i had load of spares and chose a sufficient one
Heres a pic of the tiny bit been taken off, hardly anything
Pretty cramped in there, for someone with big hands like me lol

Plans for 2010
Well a little update for my plans next year. Water pump and cambelt will be done in the second week of january. Im going to get the steering sorted out as it still plays up pulling when let off throttle, its been doing this for months now, ( ive changed, suspension shocks, new wheel bearings, powerflex bushes, top mounts, top mount bearings etc) had 4 wheel allignment done and still no better. So its going to be sorted soon hopefully, get the map tweaked to full potential with the new FMIC and basically enjoy the car for the remaining couple of months. Then it will be going up for sale in march if anyone is interested. Before the sale, it will be getting a full detail courtesy of jonjay As i feel i have completed what i have set out to achieve on this car and i want to move on. I will hopefully be getting a leon cupra K1 so staying with the seat boys

End of an era for the TDI
Well today, i went and looked at a cupra R and the sale of it was made, hopefully picking it up saturday if all goes to plan, cant wait It will be sad to see the TDI go as ive had so much fun and pleasure driving it, but its getting old and to mod it more is going to cost alot more money. Ill post the pics up saturday (if i pick it up then)
