Nope! Started the wiring, not looking too bad, going to get it finished this week. Need to look at the ecu as i think it needs he immobiliser removed.

I just got a 1.8t aum loom off ebay so I'm gonna be having a crack at this soon too :P Following the guide for the mk2 on clubgti, been told its almost exactly the same as they use the same fusebox. Only problem is I wont know if I'm successfull until I hook it all up!

I got topher to do my immob and map for me, maybe worth asking him. Although he does a mobile service Plymouth maybe a bit far for him to go though :P

What intercooler are you using? I was thinking of one from a merc sprinter van, you know if they will fit infront of the rad?

They fit on a mk2 so they should fit on a wider mk3

Hola. I'm using an ebay £50 intercooler. 2.5" ends. Sits in the front end nicely with a little trimming of the bumper and a length of 40mm ali angle to bolt it to the steel crossmember.

Haven't been working on it this weekend, been away to Bristol (Shopping with the missus for her B'day).
