AM04 ........... Arrived

[nick s]

looks good. i'm booked into jabba for the 4th dec but that's only a K03s

you will have to let us know the total cost of this upgrade when it's done.

i paid my mate £100 to do, exhaust, downpipe, FMIC, KO3s and 4 bar FPR and thought that was alot lol. now i realise thats a bargain!!

bet you can't wait, what sort of torque figures are you expecting?

 

[Shock_Xe]

i know yeah, finally

got a few of the turbo installed but they didnt come out too well, going back down tonight so taking my camera this time, instead of my phone

just got off the phone to jabba as well, they double booked me for the 15th ???? so iv had to reschedule not until the 19th

yeah mitch with the hybrid k04 lcr is booked in, he said on the leon section

 

[David_smith_909]

tip is now on,, dp is back on and header tank is now relocated, going to finish it off tomorrow putting rest of bits back on, lubing up then its just a case of starting her up and checking everything over

 

[nick s]

you must be well chuffed. bet you can't wait to get it mapped!

 

[PhilW]

Any pics? Where did you mount the catch tank dave?


Happy days tho, i bet you cant wait for mapping now.

 

[David_smith_909]

its mounted near the power steering tank
not got no pics no, was only their for 5mins last night, they were closing when i got their, just had a quick look at it then just speaking to the bloke (dave) for 5mins on how it was going etc ....

should be picking her up tonight though so il take pics and get them posted mate

seriously cant wait until mapping, starting to p1ss me off now

 

[David_smith_909]

well ......... didnt pick the car up last night, they said their finishing it off today, everything is in place, just a case of lubing up and checking everything over, he is doing that today, giving it a clean and im picking it up after work hopefully if theirs no problems

 

[acidstrato]

let us know fella...looking forward to seeing the pics and logs and even dyno sometime

 

[David_smith_909]

no probs mate, will supply all of them, logs and dyno wont come until the 19th, pics should get done either tonight or tomorrow

 

[davidol]

pics tonight, you know we cant wait until tomorrow dave!

 

[David_smith_909]

as soon as i can mate they will be up (but probably tonight yes)

 

[Essex_Cupra]

Does it feel like an early christmas present!! You might have to do a mini vid if possible!

 

[Craig!]

Won't be able to boot it till the 19th due to it not been mapped yet.

 

[David_smith_909]

yeah like craig said, until map comes only thing i can do is supply pics

not driving it until its mapped (apart from being gentle getting it home from urban)

 

[David_smith_909]

doh, had to take the catchtank back out as their was nowhere to put the header tank, now picking it up in the morning when the catch tank is re-located and a few bits are put back on (strut brace etc ....)

took a few pics while i was down their though, here it is without catchtank installed, still a bit of jigery pokery to do but you get the idea (these are not final pics)

N75 still needs relocating

tried to get a pic of the turbo fitted here, but its near enough impossible due to the ic piping

dont know if my strut brace will clear the filter

 

[acidstrato]

i wonder why they removed your bumper?
good to see the front wing covers...sign of a caring establishment!

 

[bucky boy]

looking good mate.Will the strut brace fit as the filter looks as if it might get in the way.

 

[David_smith_909]

naa, they never, just the bump strip, i took that off thinking they would take the bumper off to get to the intercooler pipe that goes into the turbo, need to unclip it first behind the bumper, but they got it from underneath and didnt need to take the bumper off, they do care, their good guys, ur right their

dont know whether strut will fit over filter, we will see tomorrow after catch tank is fitted , nothing a bit of samco cant sort out

cheers for the comments guys

 

[Blandy]

Hello mate do u work for awesom GTi, reason i ask is i was up there recently witha a black mk2 golf gti 16v for a front engine mount and a tune up. And the guy conviced me to go and get a cupra, now i'll never look back since getting one.

 

[acidstrato]
