Deeeeean! Looking good sorry to hear of the dew issues with it, my rear brakes were crap too when I got the car, I only put standard ones on and spent the money on other stuff at the time, you got them FR ones on the front yet? I just bought a cupra spoiler!

no just on the back so far going to wait till i upgrade to the bigger TT versions then i'll get them done the same. hmmm i saw the cupra spoiler for sale aswell and was really tempted to get it but got all my bike at the spray painters already. Now shall i put the exhaust on this weekend or wait till winters over ?

Ordered a Front mount intercooler today but not ss or forge as i want the world to see it so got a universal that should fit nicely in the bottom honeycomb grill area. Fingers crossed anyways :) then i've got a local silicone hose place so will be paying them a visit.

Dean my good man, good to see the car is back on the road and running sweet, where abouts did you get the universal intercooler from?? may have to invest if its an easy fit and easier on the wallet than the SS or forge jobies lol

performance isnt very good at the moment but i'm hoping that will change once i have the sensor back in place.

I did have to trim and file a couple of bits on the bumper but i think its well worth it, cant have fog light with it though if your wanting one.

I got all my pipes and hoses from a place called APH
There very very helpful there.

1x Silicone Coupler 75mm x 63mm

That's a damn good effort on the IC - Just the solution I was looking for for my FR TDI tbh! I will be looking forward to hearing how well this performs once you have the sensor issue sorted!

Fit the forge pipe and sensor, car is rapid now can't wait for a dry day to really see how it handles the sound of the car has changed abit aswell makes it roar more ! only been on two short runs though and now i'm working away for 2 weeks. More testing will get done when i get back. The larger IC takes abit longer to pressure up though, is this always the case ?
