Pics and wish list

k Heres some pics

Plans

LCR splitter currently in the back of the car.
Raise it back up by 15mm (scrubs slightly)
Powdercoat the wheels in graphite grey or gloss black (not decided yet)
3" downpipe and decat to complement the supersprint exhaust
Ko3s or ko4-001 turbo
4 bar fpr (on its way)
Clean up the interior door handles (probs going the same colour as wheels)
New airfilter to replace this grubby one (recomendations please)
New lambda sensor (eml on producing fault about internal resistance to high :/)
6 or 8k HID kit
Stage 2 map most probs revo
Fully remove the n249 unit
Spray the rocker cover and inlet manifold in gloss black with a blue and gold glitter.
Possibly re-routing the hot intercooler pipe and putting in smaller screen wash bottle.

thoughts and ideas much appreciated

[Ginge81990]

GGgrrrrrr

ok i got bored today. decided i would give my airfilter a clean. to my annoyance i took the filter off to find OIL in the intake pipe MAF. i then decided to check the cold intercooler pipe to find oil in there to.

am I right in saying this will be turbo oil seals or could this be much worse?

If it is turbo seals think the new turbo will be here quicker than i thought

 

[chaazza]

Are you running a catch tank mate if not to my understanding that's right because your running standard pcv valve my intercooler popes.also have a lil oil on them

 

[Ginge81990]

not running a catch tank. i have actually just ordered one as i was advised this may be the cause. is there any guides how to install these??
