Dean_W's Mk4 GT TDI...........

[Dean_W]

My pretty much standard GT TDI.  Bought with 90k on the clock.  No major mods, only a kamei grill and eibach springs for the moment.

It's just had a shedload of stuff done in a service so running like a champ.  Apart from a slight boost leak at the Intercooler.....oh the joys......

Paintwork is a bit sketchy in places so it needs a good scrubbing and wax.

Project bits for weekend of the 17th are fitting: -

Anni Rear - BOUGHT
Anni Skirts - BOUGHT
Airblade front - BOUGHT
Anni wheels - FITTED

Ongoing parts should include: -

Bilstein suspension
Anti Roll Bars
Hybird turbo - FITTED
Full exhaust - FITTED
Big Brakes - BOUGHT

Bit of an Update.......

Got the Anni wheels on with 4 new Rainsport tyres.  It's cost me a fortune but it's what i wanted.  One was slightly buckled, you can't see it but it showed on the balancer.  So that was balanced out and put on the rear.  Looks like a different car, love the style of the Anni wheels.









With regards to the kit fitting.  All were prepped well, and then sprayed with the same paint we used on the grill, which is a great match.  We had a bit of a problem with my mate missing some paint in the front mouth of the valance............DOH!!!!  I've left these with him and won't be home for a couple of weeks so just gotta wait for that.  They weren't sprayed in a booth so picked up a little bit of dust but nothing that can't be flattened out.

In the meantime, here is Wonka spraying with no mask......LUNATIC!!!!, that stuff stinks to high heaven!!

Wheels look nice and that Anni kit will finish it off a treat 

[Dean_W]

Update - Cleaning and Exhaust time........

Bought a clay bar the other day and some HD wax.  Both products are the tits!  Got a nice deep shine to the paint now and got rid of a lot of tar spots down the doors.

Also, rang AMD in Essex yesterday to take advantage of the free fitting and half price mapping with Milltek exhausts.

Gone for a non-resonated discrete style and also a large bore downpipe too.  Also getting put on the rollers for a mapping session.  Managed to pick up a Rad, Slimline fans and intercooler off E-Bay for 21 quid so that'll sort the boost leak out before it goes.

Just a question of wether to take advantage of the rolling road time and fork out for the hybrid turbo this week.

Wayne, how you doing son? Wheels look the nuts mate. Well jealous! Where did you get the spraying done? In the paintshops on camp? 

Defo smash a decat downpipe on mate, makes a big difference. My bro has a full 2.5" from turbo back and when you are booting it sounds pretty mean!

The hybrid turbo, well the one I have had my eye on for a while, is pretty much a bolt on mod. You shouldn't need much else, maybe upgraded intercooler pipe work, but everything else should be ok for it. Keep us posted!
