Looks cool Miggles!
How does the sewing machine 1.8T sound with such a monster bean can on the back?
When does the big turbo go on?

It's gotten quieter now, on idle and low rpm it's a nice soft 6cyl growl but after that it's a soft screaming banshee
I don't know yet hey I'm in ****** 2 minds about it
wow this 8l section is dying..... o well post for shits and giggles
panels are in and looking much better
then the NRG short hub and quick release
Looking really good dude!
Been keeping up with it progress on FB and must of missed it in here, does seem like the forum doesn't have anywhere near the traffic it used to! See the occasional tumbleweed though lol
Thanks bud means a lot coming from you
Yeah dude before I would post some pics on fb and all on here. When i posted there was like a good few likes and comments but lately post something and nothing. Only reason I'm posting on here is just for a reference for myself now

All The Gears But No Ideas
I'm loving all the green, awesome build keep going and keep updating hopefully one day I can add to mine.
Certainly does feel that way with forums as a whole as of late. A few years back this place was swarming.
Don't know what you mean coming from me lol, i love your car! Looks brilliant and makes me want to change mine to white
Hahahah because your build is insane mine is like nothing compared to yoursCertainly does feel that way with forums as a whole as of late. A few years back this place was swarming.

Make yours white lol white is right
thats awesome mate, hope the thread helped you outI also have an aum powered a3
5 door version though
I've enjoyed reading your thread
Your the only aum project I have came across so it's good to see what's possible from the engine
So another little upgrade
Tuesday made exactly 4 years i have had Kratos and decided to give it a bath, a TAKATA tow strap and a FUEL PERFORMANCE 265L/H fuel pump
This is the company i got the fuel pump from and the Local Supplier here is Tiaan so he came over and we started fitting, its such a awesome piece of kit the pump comes with a new pipe, some clamps and new O-rings. The pump is a direct replacement and fits into the oem housing with out modding and the best thing about it, lifetime warranty!!!!
stock on the left FP on the right
New o ring
New Pipe
and done
going to change fuel pressure reg tonight then go run some logs as we checked yesterday and we think the FPR is set at 4.4bar
then i fitted a nice little TOW strap

I know it's going back near 3 years but what mods did you have to get that figure and was your engine the 150bhp or 180bhp standardSo went for a dyno run quickly now. I'm up 9whp and a few NM of torque!
The readings are done on the wheels not on the fly like its done on ASN hahahah
But none the less altitude is 1870m above sea and it was 25' outside temp!
My car just made it on the dyno lol
no worries does not feel like 3 years ago
the book said 110kw so assume its the 150hp
Stock k03s turbo
76mm dp and 63mm exhaust
forge tip with cone filter
snow performance stage 2 wmi
fmic
unitronic stage 2 file
thats all i can think of at the moment

Looking good man.. This car up in person is something else! The amount of time and effect gone into this build is crazy just like you haha.. Big ups for going so insane with this car man , I'm sure she brings a huge smile to your face every time you drive her
Thanks bud
Done nothing major in a while
Replaced leaking gasket on exhaust side, new wipers, new head light bulbs, replaced hooters after not having a working hooter in 3 years Hahahah
Got a pesky little boost leak somewhere, need to redo a boost pipe and then do some tuning

Anything else changed Miggles? Or just bigger injectors to future proof and give you some more headroom?

Hahahah hiiiiiii nick
Well for now it's just to max out what i have, in July the gt is going on then I need to make a tough call on software plans which I'll Pm you now lol
Finished the clutch master yesterday and feels good
Then Re did the heat shielding on the firewall
Then went for some mapping at yoshy
Got this figure
That's on the wheels not fly, the actuator was busy failing and meth is a bit inconsistent, so I'm going to replace actuator sort out the meth issue, maybe do duel nozzle while I'm at it then tune again

Haha I totally agree with this! Its a reminder of what parts I need when I come to replace them.
Im feeling the german / Jap vibe with this one

Re did the throttle boost pipe this week after the last tosser that built it included a tube of pratley steel to cover all the cracks.
And actuator is on properly as well
Replaced pads yesterday as well with a set of EBC BLUE NDX
Going to do some tests tonight and Check everything
O and the CTS throttle plate is on.
Now running 330cc aem meth bung on the boost pipe and 130cc on the throttle plate. I'm liking how the car is feeling with this mod
