LOL, timothy, timothy, timothy.

You are one stupid small man.

The wife was upstairs when the DP was on the coffee table so she don't know. Mind she keeps banging her feet on my mates flywheel and clutch that he left here.

As for the welding, its top notch,all Tig welded. mark showed me round his garage / engineering workshop at home, its simply mind boogling what he can do.

Today i got the smaller 10 row oil cooler.

This one fits.

Also had a nice suprise at work today.

Fabulous thing.

[cupra_matt]

I wish mate, no one got out in it. was brought up to show a customer who is buying one.

that oil cooler in front of your fmic and fmic may affect your cars temp you thinking about using a different stat to turn fans on at a slightly lower temp??

 

[cupra_matt]

Not thought about that to be honest, i will just monitor temps on vagcom and see how it goes.

 

[The MoffMeister]

ok well check out awesome they do it was thinking about it myself, plus oil cooler on trackdays it gets hot lol

 

[cupra_matt]

A complete wrapped Down Pipe.

 

[Black TDI Turbo]

looking good mate what bhp you hoping or expecting to achieve with this and like most others on here once its all done are you going to sell it for rediciously less than its cost you to do lol, should be a quick car when finished.

 

[h17och]

did you wrap it wet matt like i mentioned? find it easier?

 

[The MoffMeister]

does that make a difference??

 

[cupra_matt]

yeah wrapped it wet, its still soaking now.

hoping for 370+, need to beat a corsa..............

I have also recieved my blanking plate for the SAI system of Alex from TTS Roadsport ( Cheers Alex) so that is now bolted on,

I will get mega busy with the camera on saturday.

mr matt....are you running gaskets on your Dp flanges? if so what ones!?

mine spat all the gaskets out to start with so not running any now but i may try a copper gasket as it leaks when cold at mo and if i can stop it id like to...if not its no biggy. just wondered what you were planning on

[cupra_matt]

Manifold - turbo is face fit, ( no gasket )
Turbo - first DP section face fit ( no gasket )
1st DP - 2nd section has a gasket

Will see how it goes, like you say, it will probably blow when its cold but the turbo will be a **** to remove in situ, so would rather run without.

 

[h17och]

what gaskets? where from?

you seen my thread?

 

[h17och]

seen these but 3.5"

Minecame witht the ATP kit. so dont know where else might do it, depends on the shape of your flanges.

Anyone thought of lapping the faces of the DP to turbo so you get a proper fit?
Would this be possible?
This would solve any gasket spitting problems

 

[StanTheMan]

Usually the faces where both sides are 'cast' require no gasket, stainless usually does due to the sheer amount the stuff moves when heated

 

[h17och]

im currently running no gaskets (4 joints in total) only one is messing me about
