Had my turbo replaced with a brand new one last Thursday, been without internet for a while thus not being on here! :O

Fitted new climate control unit, ran hose through the bulkhead for my boost gauge and sealed all up! (hopefully) fit gauges and pillar pod tomorrow!


Hi mate just wondered what gauges and pillar pods you have to instal and pics? I'm looking at getting a nomad single pillar pod and 52mm r spec stepper motor psi boost gauge. Would be good to get your opinion of yours.

My Lc's been running like a bag of shite the past couple of days, lumpy idle cutting out the works so today I changed the maf and got some new Bosch 2.0 tfsi coilpacks and adapters, fitted em and took it for a run. The idles now smooth ,but still cut out at two sets of traffic lights[:@] so next it'll be to clean the throttle body and sensor and see if that cures that.

there is a 3/16 inch spacer between valve cover and the polished/mirrored aluminium shield and the wires are also protected by Heat Shield high heat wrap has a open air flow from right to left.............

We also used Heat Shield high heat wrap on the Timing Chain Cover as it was getting some much heat from the upgraded turbo it was melting... Just an FYI on that.......

We are going to start selling the spacer kit for the valve cover.... What do you think of it ?????


it is held down with the existing bolt for the ground
 
bought some new boots for the front. Yokohamas - so at least they'll be matching front to back
 
Set up for a big day. Front and rear Eibach arb kit, full service, inlet manifold power gasket, injector o rings and gearbox shim kit. Will be a busy one!
