[AGU-TURBO]

Been busy over the past month with my 1.8t and spent a small fortune, Well today managed to finnish it at last and sorted my low boost out that ive had since i rebuilt it.​

special thanks to MUSH for sorting me out a cylinder head:icon_thumright:​

Here are some pics of what ive done, let me no you'r thoughts
Colour is ktm orange​

Need to put my other bolts for my coil packs, just noticed when i uploaded these lol​

This is what it used to look like​

Next job is fit a k03s, big fmic, 2.75' custom exhaust and remap. Carn't wait love tinkering with me baby lol​

Cheers nick, The spit-r is a crop of s**t lol you can just hear it if you put you'r windows down lol, i borrowed a atmos twin piston forge dump yesterday to see how if it altered how the car went and it made no differerence with my split-r on or a fully atmos on, so im going to get one as ilike psssss down the street lol. i no alot of people hate them and think they are chav like but i like it lol

What having the rocker and inlet powder coated? if yes then yeh its all straight forward take pictures so you no where things go, i wish i did lol

 

[quattro1]

did u adjust the top all the way to its lowest setting? not many people realise you can tighten/loosen the spring pressure on them...

 

[quattro1]

and no lol i meant rebuilding the engine! lol

yeh but the adjuster isnt there to adjust psssss! its there to adjust preload, basicaly on stock boost level you tighten it up then unwind 2 full turns and if boost starts tallying off early then you tighten it up a bit more.

Yeh its all pretty straight forward mate, i boght a haynes manual lol but to be honest i didn't need it and the only thing it got used for was finding the crank tdc mark and for torque settings

Nice and individual, looks well dude.

 

[Wizza]

That's damn smart! I have future plans to do something similar but with a brighter orange. ALthough I'm still trying to plan out how to get teh engine bay looking it's best.

Top notch though orange FTW!

why dont you put your bov on the pipe after the intercooler going to inlet manifold? the tsssh will be louder,then just put the standard valve in at the top as before,got a few vag turbo pals whove done it that way not tried myself.

 

[stacey bear]

Looks sweet mate, Im going to do mine soon but instead of orange im going for the crome/polished look. Hope mine looks as nice as yours does. Youve done a really good job.
