noise wasnt to the wifes taste mate and she drives it more than me!! only goin to go to stage 1 now. fitting miltek nor-res cat back tomoz so that will hopefully make a nicer note..
My miltek TBE made an immense noise on boost (albeit Stage2+) but not too loud pootling around
just spent the past 3 hours or so washing it, claying it, polishing it, waxing it... looks awfully shiney thoughand no annoying little marks all over it anymore
Tried getting some of the swirling out of my paint earlier. It's going to be a much bigger job than I thought!
yeah mine has some tbh, going to get my friend to machine polish it at some point.
Haha I am sure theres a monster in my glove box. Cant help blipping it. I am used to the noise now
felt a little strange at first. Thanks again mate
You not fit the heatshield Buzz? I also see you've left the snorkle in there from the standard intake? Looks good though and I am glad your screws work, did they come with the kit or are they the stock ones from the OEM system?
I have done a vid or two of mine but on my phone which is MP4 and for some reason won't work on my work pc. Gonna see if I can do another today and ipload it from my laptop which I believe supports MP4 format lol.
Figured the airbox will help direct some air form oem air feed location
The screws were the wrong type, they are the self tapping type that screw into the the plastic engine cover. The itg screws that screw into the metal pipework are allen bolts
Im not convinced on how efficient the heatshlield is, what are your thoughts Jase?
It seems to be working well without the heat shield it sucks better than my girlfriend and I love the noise now wasn't sure about it at first
I have stuck my hand inside the compartment after a good drive and tbh the air in there is cold versus the other side where the engine is so I think it should be doing something, that said, while the car is in motion I guess there is not much difference? Here is a vid of the turbo flutter caused by the kit now. I am addicted to it hehehehe
Washed & waxed the car yesterday, but came across some worrying paint work issues - that seem to have appeared within a couple of weeks...
Doesn't feel like a rough/matte finish which can be caused by contamination, more bobbly.
I've got some contamination on the rear off-side door, which I've no doubt some clay will sort out, but not sure what to try on the door in the photo - clay or perhaps some t-cut?
Any ideas?
