I recently purchased some cluster rings, so follwed a guide on the interwebb and got cracking
Granted there not to everyones taste but I think they look better than just a bare cluster
(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j52/SHORTY14_2006/2011-11-27144542.jpg)
I was also sick of looking at the wooden trim and gear nob so aqquired some brushed ali vinyl and had fun wrapping them along with fitting my new gear nob and gaitor
(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j52/SHORTY14_2006/2011-11-27144559.jpg)
these turned up last week and after alot of head scratching I soon realised you had to rip the old ones off with brute force :grin:. Havent got around to fitting the rest pedal yet but I might just get a gti one off ebay
(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j52/SHORTY14_2006/2011-11-27144630.jpg)
Well when everyone was saying how long it would take to change a tip admitedly I did laugh and think you were all crazy... Well you certainly proved me wrong, dont want to be changing that again anytime soon :rolleyes:

Update 12.02.12
Well this is going to be a big update in one hit as I simply havent had enough time recently to do it as it happens :cry:
Well following on from last time I had the 3" turbo back non res exhaust fitted :cool: At first I was a bit devious with the price-fitment but :shocked: it fits like you would expect an oem part to fit and Im never one to say this but I would say its fairly underpriced for what you get. I must say it has free'd up a fair bit of power, the throttle response combined with the forge tip and exhaust is 10 times better and the noise it makes :shocked: ....... wot sounds like a boxxer engine :grin: and even though its a 3" non res exhaust its suprisingly not that loud and I have learnt how to make it pop :lipsrsealed:
(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j52/SHORTY14_2006/2011-12-04150450.jpg)
Heat transfer on the down pipe :tongue:
(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j52/SHORTY14_2006/2011-12-04150441.jpg)
I also forgot how much stuff I had collected for my remap :grin:
(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j52/SHORTY14_2006/2011-12-17120322-1.jpg)
Well an egay induction kit came up fairly cheap because someone had bent the end of the ali section so I snapped that up and with a bit of heat and TLC I managed to get in sphericle again :laugh:

(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j52/SHORTY14_2006/2012-02-10141546.jpg)
Someone on here was selling a boost gauge so thought id get it so I can keep an eye on levels, its goes up to around 12psi then settles at a solid 10psi, is this about right for a standard auq 180!?
(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j52/SHORTY14_2006/2012-02-10225902.jpg)
Also picked up a full set of bora vents and an arm rest so cracked on with fitting them :cool:
(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j52/SHORTY14_2006/2012-02-12151429.jpg)

:rolleyes:.... the aircon randomly turned it self on and after tucking this hose out the way to fit the IC pipe work, the outter edge of the fan slit through it :angry:
(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j52/SHORTY14_2006/2012-02-26160815.jpg)
Annoying expensive mistake £25 antifreeze £25 + VAT for hose

(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j52/SHORTY14_2006/2012-02-25144331.jpg)
Theres so much less throw in the shifting now, it really is worth doing for the sake of £50 fine ones.

After having a little play last weekend with fitment etc, I soon realised that I wasnt supplied with the right size coupling that comes off the hotside of the turbo, so ordered one and recieved in time for fitment
(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j52/SHORTY14_2006/2012-02-25155834.jpg)
After dismantling the front I picked the right size adaptor for the Forge map sensor

06/03/12 Update
Well Following on from last time A Fair bit has happened again.
After a little bit of trimming the bumper slid straight on
(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j52/SHORTY14_2006/2012-02-28123558.jpg)
(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j52/SHORTY14_2006/2012-02-28123608.jpg)
Due to having Air con lines and pumps dotted about this is the best fit I got using the pre-bent Ali pipe work, Could do with sitting about an inch to the right but I’l address this later in time. But for the money and the feed back of the Toyosport FMIC kit I was expecting a MUCH worse battle/ finish on my hands, but VERY pleased with the outcome.

Followed by a trip to the Dealers… Oldest car there yet the cleanest. Got Some really nice feedback off some customers and staff members about my motor which is always nice to hear.
(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j52/SHORTY14_2006/2012-03-01175625.jpg)

After Finding this little Gem of a ‘How to’ http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/t/265756.aspx I bit the bullet and jumped in at the deep end. This is the most nerve racking thing I’ve done so far and I cant thank the guy enough for creating such an easy step by step guide. Everything went exceptionally smooth, So smooth in fact I didn’t even have to reach for the airline and Gun!
All in all its taken the best part of 3 days. But here in Norfolk we really have been fighting with really sh!tty weather to the point where I actually put my dads fishing gear on!

Ive recently Had to replace both my handbrake problems due to them bring seized, apparently this Is a common issue on the mk4's SO I found a nice how to with a fix for a few quid of the dealer, They clip into the caliper and the arm to retract it. as this is why the cables stretch and corrode after time

UPDATE 22/03/12
What lovely weather weve had here in Norfolk the past week, Dare I say summer has officialy started!? :lipsrsealed:
Well...... A few of the lads at work knew ive been desperately waiting for some bits to arrive and today I was working out in the yard when a courier pulls up, Thought ahh brilliant hopefully its for me carried on working knowing that one of the office lot would sign for it bla bla bla. Anyway 10/15mins pass and I get called in for a Brew and was announced that a parcel had indeed arrived for me. Brilliant I thought, quickly finished off what I was doing then headed in.
Sat down and there was the legit parcel all addressed to me bla bla bla, Started carefully opening it up and sieving through all the polystryine and card.... Well F#CK me, My heart sunk as my blood level rose :angry:
Infront of me was this...

Well :shocked: :angry: I didnt know what to do the f#cking thing almost got launched accross the workshop, Not only had I recieved a different turbo, its an absolutely knackered:cry: though great Ive been scammed big time.
then a few of the lads came in and started winding me up that I had been mugged off which really wasnt helping seeing I was getting closer to exploding :grin: then they all burst out laughing and handed me another parcel :rolleyes:
ripped the new one apart and inside this beautiful looking GEM greeted me :smug:

Got well and truely stitched up :grin: :grin:
Should of known something was up at the beggining seeing as everyone I work with are top notch wind up merchants :grin:
What they'd done is gone through the engine warranty box and found a turbo has a snapped turbine under a year old :shocked: and parcelled it up for me :sick:
The new blower Is a brand New Genuine OEM K* series with all gaskets and fitting :cool: :smug:
Sorry for the life story :grin:
thanks for reading will be updating again very soon :cool:

Update 25.03.28
Following on from a few updates ago I fitted my catch can :cool:
Could I please have some clarrification as to whether ive installed right!?
*T'd off the rocker cover, one going going back down to the oilfilter housing area other going to one side of the catch can.
*Blanked off two nipples on the underside of the inlet manifold.
*Blanked off one side of the y piece that goes onto the side of the inlet manifold, think it has something to do with the brake bolster.
*other side of the catch can to the oil puck on tip !?!?

Long time no speak and all that jazz, Thought id give you a bank holiday monday update.
Ive been hoarding alot back recently due to having hardly anytime free time.
I managed to bag myself a bit of a bargain :cool:, anyone want to guess what :grin:
(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w455/Chriselvinmx/2012-04-25_120913.jpg)
I also managed to break my drivers side bora vent :sad:, Basically the slates have got a tiny plastic pin on each end which is attached to a lobe which inturn follows the control of opening/closing mechanism... yep I maganged to break alot of them off which just used to annoy me so I purchased another one

Anyhow...... :cool:
Following on from last time :drool:
Went and picked up 50 liters of 99.95% virgin grade methanol at 80pence a litre. Ive been advised to do 50/50 water meth so that little lot should last me a while :smiley:
(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w455/Chriselvinmx/m1.jpg)
Now for the install :wink:.
First thing I did was drilled the tank so I could fit the inline filter and main feed from the tank. Might of got a bit carried away with the 'dab of silicone around the edge just to eliminate any pottential leaks in the future' :grin:
(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w455/Chriselvinmx/in6.jpg)
Front end dismantling to mount injector
(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w455/Chriselvinmx/in12.jpg)
After speaking to a few people who have already installed W.M.I I found the best place to mount the injector was after the intercooler allowing maximum time for the water meth to cool down the charged air.
after marking the spot and making sure the injector would be hidden and free from obstruction I drilled, tapped & sealed it in :smiley:
(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w455/Chriselvinmx/in10.jpg)
different angle
(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w455/Chriselvinmx/in11.jpg)
Next was too route the feed line from the injector to pump.
VW kindly thought whilst desigining the golf about the possibility of enthusiasts installing W.M.I kits and such things and created an extra 'alley' for the line to clip into :drool:
(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w455/Chriselvinmx/in8.jpg)
Bit more routing
(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w455/Chriselvinmx/in9.jpg)
For optimum access I decided to mount the manual boost solenoid here for ease of changing the boost the W.M.I kicks in at 7psi
(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w455/Chriselvinmx/in4.jpg)
I Figured Id like the pump hidden out the way, whilst having the tank at an easy filling place so decided to mount things like this!
(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w455/Chriselvinmx/in3.jpg)
(parcel shelf removed for purpose of picture)
(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w455/Chriselvinmx/in2.jpg)
Now for a little review. Well.... For the money it has cost (Sub £300) this has been the most beneficial/noticeable mod I have done and bearing in mind you get optimum results with a map (WHICH I HAVENT DONE) this really has been my favourite noticeable mod. Installing was a piece of cake, It litterialy consists of earthing the pump & solenoid, Live battery + to the pump, 12v ignition feed to the pump, vacumm feed to the solenoid and away you go! I dont have vag com so couldnt tell you of any actuall intake temperatures, how ever after a hard run (and I mean hard :tongue:) the intake plenum is ice cold to touch (quite litteraly). Having the hot fmic pipe so close to the manifold it is quite amazing the temperature difference between when the charged air comes out of the turbo to the charged air that enters the inlet plenum :cool:. As far as useage im doing about 2 tanks to a full tank of fuel which I dont think is too bad!
ALL IN ALL I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMEND GETTING ONE :cool:
Just a few pictures of the car

(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w455/Chriselvinmx/fil4.jpg)
Now It really is time to get this mapped :grin: Ive put it off for so long but I think im pretty close to maxxing the K03s out :grin:
so the spec is
*AUQ180
*87k miles
*K03s
*99' RON fuel
*DEVILSOWN 6-30 PSI W.M.I kit
*CRAFT '42 3" turbo back non res exhaust system
*TOYOSPORTS C.A.I
*TOYOSPORTS F.M.I.C
*FORGE T.I.P
*FORGE actuator yellow spring
*FORGE 007P (soon to have)
*PCV simplified - oil catch can
*N249 valve delete
I think thats everything haha
thanks for reading, comments welcome :)

I also got myself booked in at R-Tech yesterday for a Stage 2 Custom remap :laugh:
This has been well over due but I cant believe now after knowing how much difference its made why I put it off for so long. It took me the best part of 3.5 hours to get there but boy was it worth the drive, especially on the way home :shocked: :cool:. As soon as I got there the guys got stuck in checking everything was all good and safe explaining what was going to happen :smiley:.
In the first 30-45mins session on the dyno the guys maxxed the set up out at 199bhp :huh: with a missfire. (Toby your guess what right :grin:) How ever after they had a quick look around they soon noticed that I had made a school boy mistake by not tightening something on the intake manifold allowing a boost leak. Within the next 1.30 mins they switched the engine off and started indoing the safety straps to get the car off the dyno. With the new live software they have everything can be done twice as fast so to say I was itching for a drive was an understatement.
Even though it was way above my head they took the time to explain they had [b]*[/b]maxxed my set up out :cry: showing me all the figures, duty cycles etc etc. I then went on a test drive :laugh: and wow.... I told my friends I was getting a new car to throw them of the scent but this is just as good as. it really is completly different to before. you only have to feather the throttle to cruise and then if you push a bit more it absolutely transforms the car into something else :grin: The power is soo smooth yet agressive its hard to explain. Overall I am soo happy with what the guys at R-tech have done, cannot recommend them enough :cool: if your reading this guys, I will be seeing you very shortly with what you recomended :evil:.
Now the bit youve all been waiting for. Cullygti you were on the money.
They maxxed out my set up with 1.75" intercooler pipework being restrictive :cry:. They said theres easily another 10-15bhp to be had with the 2.5" pipework along with + lbft. They couldnt physically get the K03s to flow any more through the 1.75" pipework as heat soak was becoming a major issue even with the meth injection and F.M.I.C. I also had a leaking exhaust triangle turbo gasket which you could hear which of course was loosing a bit of power along with a blocked/rusty toyosport air filter :sad:. Either way Im extremely happy with the power they made considering the above and will be getting all the above sorted asap for another trip up there to get some better results along with launch control being added and left foot brake and boost :laugh:.
(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w455/Chriselvinmx/powerrecomendation.jpg)
The most important bit :cool: 231bhp & 258ftlb holding a solid 20spi boost :laugh:

So then…. At the beginning of the week this parcel turned up
(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w455/Chriselvinmx/pt14.jpg)
Going by the results I got last time with a rattle can I wasn’t fazed to crack on with these.
So I went and done some shopping and came home with this little lot :nerd:
(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w455/Chriselvinmx/pt13.jpg)
Checked the forecast before starting and cracked on with the tasks ahead.
The spray booth :grin:, Bare ABS plastic

Several coats of primer :smiley:

(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w455/Chriselvinmx/pt3.jpg)
Again Im really pleased with the finish considering its from a rattle, Maybe paintings my hidden talent!?
Typical the weather has turned for the worst, but I guess that just gives the skirts extra time to harden/dry.
So whilst I’m waiting for the warm weather I dream off, what’s the best method of attaching them to the car? Anyone got any links for products??
Ever since fitting the Anni rear valance My exhaust has been rubbing slightly on it hence the exhaust heat rap up the top, so this time I wasn’t going to take any more risks with melting things so It was up to the work shop to do some fine adjustments.
UP she goes :laugh:

The finished article :cool:

(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w455/Chriselvinmx/pt8.jpg)
I also had a little clear out in the garage where I came across these, so had a little play and this is what I came up with. :evil:
(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w455/Chriselvinmx/pt.jpg)
The finished article :cool: ….. What boost pipes?
(http://i1076.photobucket.com/albums/w455/Chriselvinmx/pt15.jpg)
So then people, I need some input Obviously it still needs lowering and stance but what else do you think should be done?
What are peoples thoughts on the wheels? Change completely or painting!?
was possibly thinking refurbing them in a gun metal grey, but im staring at a blank page with not much imagination
talk to me…. !?
