cheers mate i hope to have some good updates now as itl be running soonish

QPeng is not to some people's taste i know but they are a very well known company offering 1.8t and 2.0tfsi plug and play which no one else does and a lot of people say its great but a few are against it for whatever reasons.. At the end of the day its relatively cheap for a plug and play kit so all you need to source is all the running gear.. i like it 

[travisreeve]

Agreed tech i personaly i think its very good and relatively easy to work with from other peoples
experience its just the £1300 price tag i dont like   

[tech1889]

Yer price tag is not great but what can you do if your not confident splicing wires and all that its a good price to pay it means you could do the conversion sub 2k but have a quality loom and such.. plus you can spec if your running cable or wire TB and what turbo etc so is really good for average joe buying a 1.8t for a conversion as all basis are covered

Small update

I got my engine moumt today fitted it and now my bonnet finaly shuts  :grin

[travisreeve]

what a nightmare my breaks are bein aha... first of all i couldnt find a bolt to hold my calipers to my carriers so i went on the hunt to a garage called courtney sport who specialize in vauxhalls i took them my breaks asfor there of a corsa B 1.6 gsi ( calipers ) they supplied me with a bolt which was long enough but didnt fit the calipers asfor was to small so i had a guy make me up some ally sleeves which we pressed in the caliper bolt holes 

then i realised that i had broke a bleed nipple in one of the calipers so i welded a nut to it and wound it out ( 8 nuts later )

i shot blasted my carriers cleaned them up then had my new bearings pressed in ready for some paint ( abit back to front i know but the guys who pressed them in are mechanics and abit heavy handed so im just gunna tape the bearing up as best as i can and paint it )

i then get home and wire brush wire wheel my calipers and paint them with high heat paint put a new bleed nipple in and BREAK  just what i needed so il be welding more nuts to it now FAIL and after that i just walked away closed the garage doors intill tomorrow
