Cheers

New turbo setup is looking sweet btw, jealous of the v-band downpipe. Take a bit of time getting used to the lag tho eh.

Massive thanks to Bill @ Badger 5 who kindly bead rolled my intercooler pipework yesterday evening, so maybe i can finally open the car up to see what she can do.

Ive ordered a self sealing 8mm take off to make a connection on the silicone elbow off the compressor housing to feed my Greddy solenoid as reccomended by TIAL and greddy, as my feed is post throttle body i think this has a negative affect on spool as the WG is only seeing pressure after all the pipework, intercooler and inlet has been filled.

Some further heat proofing will be had this weekend, gonna get funky with the sticky back heatshielding and comepletely cover the brake resevior, heater pipes and anything else i can see that can and will melt.

Finally drove it hard today, not for the faint hearted at all and im pleased to say the beaded hoses hav done the job. Fuelling seems bang on when i can manage to look at it.

I still think its overallyt laggy tho, i get about 10psi at 4k in third, still not got it going in fourth yet lol, but ive not logged it as im sure the clock is slightly different to the vag com logs, but at least i got some 3071 logs to compare it against.

Washed the thing as well. lol.

Mental car.

Thanks.

I'm not sure, it's a trek for me and I'm not that bothered about quarter mile times, you're more than likely to see me on track somewhere tho.
