Wazzzer's 1.8T... Lots of updates

[Wayne]

Headlining looks really good.

Cheers for the comments. Update time...

Bought some C20LET yellow injectors for the next time I visit R-Tech, and also a refurb kit for them which is fitted along with a nice ultrasonic clean



I was given a VR6 MAF housing by my mate which will be fitted with the injectors. I bought Patch's ABD FMIC from him and will be fitting it soon, just need to modify a few bits and get some new silicone pipe joiners in black as I'm a tart lol



I've also borrowed Dave_IOW's spare bumper to see what I need to trim to make it fit.

Will update once the FMIC has been fitted

Good luck bud, hope you dont lose too much of your bumper 

[Wazzzer]

I know what you mean mate but I should be able to get it to run round the back of it ok as Patch has cut the pipe just before the bend to lift it up a bit. Ideally I'd like an inlet manifold that has the throttle body on the other side... only thing stopping me doing this would be finding a suitable throttle cable

This has my clique detector twitching.

ABD cooler was going to take too much work to make fit so it's been sold again and a THS intercooler bought to replace it





it needs a small bit of modifying to fit so I took the crash bar off and drilled the spot welds out to enable a metal plate to be removed





The metal that needs removing



and out after a bit of beating with a hammer and chisel





the intercooler hanger bolted on



Will get a pic of it on the car as it is now in a bit. I've used Dave's spare bumper as mine needs trimming and I haven't had the time yet

I've got hold of a spare airbox lid thanks to daz_veedub so that can be modified to accept the VR6 MAF housing so I won't lose the use of my current one. I should also have a manual boost controller here soon to help with the next stage of tuning.

I've also decided to fit a set of oil temp/pressure gauges just to monitor what's going on. I've bought a dual pod for the A pillar and will be using these gauges

the pod will be trimmed in the same material as I used to cover the headlining

Wayne has kindly supplied me with everything I need to get the gauges plumbed in so this should be happening as soon as the gauges are here and I trim up the pod

Good progress bud, the only thing i dont like about the THS intercooler is when fitted to standard bumper, it doesnt look symetrical 

Small point i know, but gets me lol  sorta like...
