Well after weeks of dicking about i finally finished the intercooler and pipework install.


Here's the start - front end off, well just the bumper at this point

and the finished result

pancake pipe replacement

turbo outlet pipe replacement

and i've got hold of some mint condition V1 Golf R32 alloys which have now been sprayed in gloss black

Enjoy!

I was having a quick look through some of the pictures of my old car and I'm just wondering where is the EGR valve did u happen to take it off the car or has it fitted elsewhere out of site?

Alright MJ

So with the changing of the Pancake pipe from the turbo outlet pipe do you think it allowed to produce more power from the car. What sort of adjustment did you have to make but correct me if im wrong but is the pancake is flat to allow the wheel to move its full range without rubbing?

 

[MJ]

pancake pipe was tubular, just had revo stage one on it - could have done with a custome tune TBH.

How did u do the HID lights on the halo lights as I think they say u shudnt use HID lights on Halo?

 

[MJ]

I took no notice of what the headlights instructions said and fitted them. They were awesome and had a fantastic, clear cut beam pattern.

Don't fit HIDs to the main beam as they are slow to react.

I'm a bit confused coz I remember them being fitted, how do u mean they are slow to react.
So did u fit them or wud u not recommend them for safety reasons?

 

[MJ]

They are fine for dipped beam but won't do for main beam as they take a couple of seconds to warm up so they'd be no good to flash people or if you needed them to work instantly.

Hi MJ

Just looking back at this car for reference, I've had a new pancake pipe fitted but when I full lock the wheels to the right it rubs on some part of the pipe. I know it's was a massive struggle getting it to fit on the other Blue car but how did u make that bracket to hold it in place. I'm looking at doing something similar but thinking of idea and clearance needed from the crank/belt near by.
