Bad news about the TIP Tom, how does Bill feel about this? He's really spot on with customer service and I would imagine would realy interested to hear about your issue. Was it a fault with the adapter, misshapen perhaps?

Once the SFS TIP is on I will do a comparison after driving the car home mate.
At the moment there's a lot of air leaking out around the adapter. It may just be my one tbh, who knows.

Will feedback in here how it goes and how the car feels with that one on.

Pressure drop code come back 2 nights ago, so it's still losing air at the moment.

I'm going to be going on a Forge hose spending spree soon getting all the small one's and remaining ones left to do. And I mean ALL of them - at once. :)

Surely it wouldnt be a fair comparison if your B5 TIP is leaking?

I hope the new TIP works out well for you mate, I have seen Bill comment saying the V2 TIP performs better then the V1, I may have to invest in the future to remove the majority of the joins.
 
True...

I just want it sorted and am now on a mission to get the car boost leak free completely. Going to order loads of Forge hoses after my new fmic goes on around jan/feb time.
 
Could you not remove the billet adapter and clean it up then reseal it onto the turbo again, much cheap than a new hose

They did this and it was still pi$$ing air so it's coming off and being replaced.. I've given up caring about money I spend on the car as I'm loving it more and more lately. Thinking much less about the S3 now, might just keep the LCR and throw the wallet at it next year to get it where I do want it ending up..
 
After seeing pics of Dan's and Darren's cars at AmD yesterday looking very dapper I just had to get out there today and give mine a clean and check over! :)

Of course I got carried away took a 'few' pics and a slightly cold start Milltek video, lol.

Anyway..

Like superb mate. Put some octain booster in the tank to compensate on the shitty fuel your forced to use just now.

Thanks mate :)

Luckily a mate of mine lives pretty close to a Shell garage which hasn't been closed for refurb like mine so I grabbed 30 quid of v-power a few nights ago :D

Is the protection still holding up on the wheels Tom?

Yeah it is Maz. Very impressed :)

With snow inevitable over the coming months, what would you do to give them maximum protection against the elements? All my sisters' stuff can't be moved from the garage now as her house move fell through. So looks like the car won't be getting garaged anytime soon and will be sitting in snow when it comes.

Any advice appreciated buddy.

The sealant I put on "should" see it through till Feb/march time depending on what products you have used since you had the wheels. However, another coat of a pure sealant on top should do the trick. Not sure what products you have in your cleaning gear in terms of wax/sealants?

I run out of Wheelwax (small black tub) back earlier this year and I won't lie mate, I haven't bought anything since! :whistle:

So yeah, I'd definitely like to get something to do another coat so they are good for the winter and put my mind at rest. What do you recommend buying?
