Milltek Cat-Back arrived and got fitted today 
Did my best to fit the cat but like **** would the bolts come off, so that is for another day
However, the cat-back looks sounds and feels awesome, Im very impressed!

I'm chuffed, Be even happier when the cat is on.
My intercooler turned up but its got no fitting hardware so Im having to fabricate my own brackets for it.

Fitted an APR front mount intercooler. The core itself is a nice bit of kit, its got cast end tanks and comes with hard boost pipes, bought it second hand from eBay and it came off Awesome GTi's APR TT.
I didn't manage to get any pictures of fitting but it's safe to say it was a pretty involved job. It came with no fitting hardware whatsoever so I had to fabricate my own brackets. The hard pipes take up a lot of room to so headlight washers had to go and there was a lot of bumper cutting to get the bumper to go back on and then modifying the lower grills to accommodate the pipes and then plastic welding clips back on to hold them on.
It's not something I'd like to have to do again, and if I was buying new I'd probably buy a forge item, but I'm pleased with the outcome:

Fitted a V2 Badger5 80mm TIP, and a Jetex filter to go with it.
Massive difference in size of TIP to standard, and the quality is really really good. Real easy to fit too, took me about an hour.
Turbo as standard
Plus Billet adaptor:
The difference in sound is amazing, Spool and DV sound are so so loud. It definitely feels like it pulls a lot harder, and I'm fairly sure its not just the placebo effect.

Great update, i love the Miltek twin exhaust... looks fantastic!
Thanks mate. I'm pleased with the Milltek like
Got myself a new toy. Take one air-vent and dismantle:
Add a few parts and you get this:
A Race Diagnostics Liquid Gauge
And now the view from the driver's seat is as so:
It displays live data in gauge or graph form such as: MAF Airflow, Boost pressure, N75 position, Coolant, oil and exhaust gas temperature, Engine Torque and Power and lateral and longitudinal G force. It can plot a dyno graph using power and torque estimates from the MAF figure, chart acceleration and 0-60 times as well as read fault codes and perform Throttle body adaptation as well as looking cool as flip.

Wheels are back from being sandblasted and I've started preparing them for paint.
As you can see the surface of the blasted metal is very rough:
Flatted and ready for a coat of etch-primer:

Those wheels will look awesome when on the car! What colour you going for? Drop it on coils too....

Looks awesome! Your making very fast progress! I can't wait till I can play with the big boys toys.
Thanks, They'll be going silver I expect for some OEM class
Coils will be along in due course, It's all about £££ though, as I've got my eyes set on a set of KWs Thank you. A Map is in the pipeline eventually. I just have a couple more tweaks to make and then to choose a vendor

Go to P-Torque for a great map and service for a good price.
