Cheers mate, now ive got the carbon fibre engine cover i dont think i need the bits polished lol, as its covered up the dirty engine haha, if i didnt get the engine cover i would of prob had it done, but i think ill end up getting all sorts of problems removing the head etc, im a carbon fibre wh0re like you now lol

Engine cover looks quite nice. did you notice much improvement from the bigger pipes? I'm assuming they're a bigger diameter?

Cheers mate, tbh with you, all the bigger pipes went on when the bigger turbo went on so couldnt really tell as ive got more power now obviously lol, but i did fit the PD150 egr manifold and egr delete pipe when still on standard turbo and it felt like it pulled that little bit more top end

TBH mate it looks 100 times better with the cover on than it would if we polished it.
Where did you get it from ???

Yeah, im happy with it im just going to get the battery and airbox cover painted gloss black like karls ones, and then get a R8 oil cap along with some forge chrome caps and strut top caps and that should sort it out nicely. I got it from ebay mate, cheaper than chips lol £31

 

[D.K]

good find mate.
I want to try and get the battery and airbox made from Carbon Fiber too

We'll see

Just want to say a big thank you to D.K for smoothing out my airbox yesterday, after driving it alot last night, it seems to pull that little bit better inbetween 3000rpm and 4000rpm, dont know if its just my mind thinking that lol but it pulls better between them revs

 

[brad1]

Well today, i was bored and thought id have a go at painting the airbox and fuse box cover, it actually turned out much better than i thought Got to do the battery cover when i get a new one this week

Also ive found a few new sneaky pictures of the new sfs set up If forge take any longer im going to get a seat sport fmic and make the pipework up myself

Size difference in pipe: oem vs sfs

Pancake to turbo pipe

Cheers mate, what do you mean by cf, I'm asleep atm lol

 

[brad1]

Well got hold of my new battery cover from pete88, cheers mate and then painted it to match the rest, what do you think, not bad for a few hours work and £9 worth of paint definately spiced up the engine bay that little more and looks loads better
