Guest, New Stock alert: Premium CUPRA valve caps now available in the store ? Order now from the merchandise store
Hooch, your rods are too long.
Good work! Building engines is the best bit! I once hitchhiked 60 miles carrying a bare mini block and crank to get some work done because I had no other means of getting to the machinists!

I was young then! (So it was a loooooong time ago). Yes, I've seen your van.
You obviously get your business by word of mouth and not by flashy signwriting. 
lol, a van covered in flash writing means flash tools....which in time means broken locks and no tools. i keep it stealth
all i have writen on my van is "the only tool in this van is the driver" lol

Looking good.....I'm at the same stage as you except I'm waiting for Jabba to build a new baffled sump. Obviously I have the APR manifold already fitted.
What is the exact spec/breakdown of yours now.
Who's mapping it?
I may fit a better intake later on but just want to get back on the road.

looks good hooch, get some videos up once its in there and running, who is making your mani up for you, i may be getting one of bills as they look ultra impressive, and can withstand the heat, your going to need a **** hot manifold to withstand the amount of heat that turbo is gonna be producing
I am chasing progress of mine now. I need the first off to check fitment is ok in ibiza... then confirm jigs ok, then production can commence.
I also have a.n.other tubular manifold on order of an alternate design but that one was 8 weeks delivery, so 6 weeks to go. Just trying something different out on that score.

i was going to use perfect touch way back, a mate of mine recommended them, in hoddesdon right?
i spoke to the guy and he seemed alright, think they got dyno dynamics rr but not 100%
