Here is the project I have been saving for the last 8 months for. I installed AWE's K04 turbo my self biggest pain in the ass ever. AWE's S3 intercooler was really easy to me I know some people say it is a rather difficult task. I also got AWE S3 hose kit and TOP they might not do much but it is better than stock. I also installed the BSH race catch can really rather easy to install did it in under 30 mins. I installed AWE's vent mounted boost gauge it would have been really easy if I had a different T25 bit. I have not had a chance to install the White line Anti lift kit yet I think I am going to wait till my coil overs get in to install that one. The coil overs I purchased are FK Silverline X. I have read a lot of good things about them so I will update here with pics when I get them installed. All in all the turbo swap took me just over 21 hours but that was just me working most of the time alone, one of my friends would come help me after he got off of work.
So on day 1 pulled the car on the lift around 9:30am got all the parts laid out and ready to start working. Buy 12:30pm I was already done with the intercooler removal and installed the new one and starting to put everything back back on up front. I had the bumper back on about 45 minutes later. So what you all have been waiting for some Pics.

Thought I was done after that and found out the possibly the hardest coolant line to get to was leaking :mad0259: Spent 4 hours trying to figure out how to tighten it but finally got it with out taking everything apart. Just had to try just about every 19 mm set up you could think of.

Back out side my house with something new!
(http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/ad68/KrazySoB_363/DSCN0530.jpg)
I say this was one of the most challenging things I have ever done in my life it really. Makes me appreciate the fact that places charge £60+ an hour for labor. But for the 2.5 days my car stayed in that stall it cost me about ~£100. I know this is something I am not really looking forward to having to ever do again.
I can literally say I have put my own Blood Sweat and tears into this build. I go get the tune installed Monday Oct 24th at noon. Cant Fricking wait. Until then I am just babying the car around only when I need to drive it keeping the RPM <3000.
-
Love it, looking forward to seeing what power it makes when it's been mapped properly :cool:
-
yep awesome goodies there mate good build :smiley:
-
Awesome work, looking forward to the r/r figures.

Awesome thread, amazing car, you've got balls like space hoppers doing it to a car that new!
If the cars been Imported to here then is the VW warranty no longer applicable? There by making it fair game for some sweet sweet tuning goodness!

I was at GTI Fest that was before I did all of this to her. I do say she runs like no other now though. The guy with the candy white one is also on here.

Yeah VW here gave me hassle when I tried to get a minor recall sorted. I had to call VWoA to get the work done and apparently they thretened legal action against that dealer if they didn't fix it because it was a known recall in VW systems. Just that UK spec cars apparently weren't having the problems.
I have not seen many other modified MK6's in the UK other than 3 or 4 that are owned by Americans. I also think all of them are on this forum as well. I really have no regrets so far about the modification of this car other than one rattle in the rear that I have the his for just awaiting some time to install it. If anyone in the local area wants to make a GTI get to gather let me know I am always up to meet dub enthusiasts such as my self.
