Ram air Filter kit from ebay

Removal of old smic

Fitting was trial and error
RAMAIR filter
I was still looking for work at the time so could afford new insurance to put it on the road or tax for that matter. Eventually i started getting some money through temping and by chance
I got these while just roaming ebay one day some 225 tt injectors with rail I won them £165 so i dont know if that is a good price or not. Still sAat in the box the came in
I paid a deposit for insurance and got tax and car was on the road
To me it didn't seem very quick. So i got one of my mates to use vagcom on it and check for fault codes.
It had a couple one was n75 valve fault and speed sensor also oil change thing as well maybe why previous bottom end went
Cleared codes and still didn't seem fast I went and bought a turbosmart boost guage and went to see what it was boosting. 3.5 psi limp mode
Changed n75 to my original one still the same after some investigation we found it to be a wire had come loose from the n75 valve plug on the loom soldered it up jobs a good un boosting to 7 psi
Still have speed sensor to sort its intermittent so i think wiring and a slight oil leak from turbo oil feed bought a new one so will hopefully fit his weekend also blowing from exhaust flexi so ordered a genuine second had pipe off ebay. And i got a bargain last week too a ths s/s decat for £55 posted will get pics up when i get the chance
should fit it this weekend coming.
I decided i wanted to change front appearance so bought a badgeless front grill
Before
After
This is where im up to
Future plans are to get injectors fitted with a Ko4-15 and external wastegate with screamer pipe and a remap.Oh and coilovers and Bigger wheels like bbs lm reps but not sure yet.
