Looking great matey

my new gearbox is built and will be shipped back to me next week, i will have this parts ready for u not long after that mate

Regarding the Turbo manifold crack, you can get the repaired or replaced quite cheep if its the K03 ??

or you could upgrade to K03 S turbo (direct swap and no other mods needed)

Sounds good to me! The turbo is nackered, but can get a ko3 from breaker for 50 inc vat.

If i can go a bigger turbo without any other mods ill go for that. What engine codes is the S off?

K03s is fitted to some 150bhp plus the 180's (AUQ)

K03s came on the AUQ and AUM

Something for u to upgrade to later date, may have one for u at some point in future off my mates engine

Much easier to fit a Ko3s now whilst the engine is out.

Been busy (ish) Was at Rockness festival over last weekend, so didnt get much done. Saw some great music and drank far too much, now have a cold from sleeping in a tent over the weekend, but well worth it!

Anyway, finnished cleaning, on rebuild now.



to







Rocker cover gasket, new thermostat coming tomorow, so will get all that back together tomorow. Means can get manifold etc on, and thats it done for this sideof engine more or less 

Gonna go for a ko3 s turbo also, as seems alot less hastle fitting while its out etc. As long as it will run on standard managemant with no other mods?

[CJA321]

Getting there 



Engine coming out of my mk3 this weekend also, then cleaning under bonnet while everything is out 

After an ABF flywheel if anyone has?

Very nice! And good to see your getting it done sharpish too

Few wee updates, have finnished the boring stripping part now more or less, engine out now just preping bay for paint 



Removed wings at same time, just rotten!! Arch plastics arnt going back on either 



And just some prepwork, should have grinding down finnished tomorow and if weather stay nice fingers crossed get it primed 



Ow and another reason not to buy cheap coilies, maybe just the weather and all the salt on the roads up north but 8 Months old and the look like this? Pritty crappy
