Andy's mk4 votex 1.8 Turbo

[andyj775]

not much to add over the last week, fitted a delocking kit and thats about it. but i have booked my car in for a custom turbo-back exhaust this week and have decided that im keeping the votex valance as it is and having the tailpipes 'discreet'. the guy's also making a removeable decat 'piece' with a flange either end, and also modding the cat so that come mot time i will just have to unbolt 2 flanges and swap over! i will update once done, can't wait!

thanks mate, just a front mount intercooler to go then going to start sourcing bits for a k04 conversion. funny how after every thing i do to the car i feel a bit more adventurous!

Looked much better before you put the red highlights on.  Just my opinion though

to be fair it has crossed my mind that i should have gone down the bbs LM route, even though there are a lot of golfs with them on. just that i'd only be able to afford reps. going to all types show this weekend. will be good to see what they look like in the flesh if anyone there has them, then will make a decision. thanks for the input

right, bought and fitted some black DEPO projector headlights to finally finish the outside off, now its all about engine mods and brakes. custom exhaust was made by HIB exhausts in Anglesey, and it sounds exactly how i wanted. cant recommend them enough. had a good chat with the guy about piping up a front mount intercooler in the near future and modifying the downpipe for when i go to a new turbo setup, but im torn between a garrett gt28 or a k04 setup. both have their advantages/disadvantages, but after reading page upon page about people doing the garrett setup (which i am swaying towards more than the k04 at the moment), it seems that the biggest issue after sourcing all the bits would be the pipework locations on the new turbo. but the exhaust guy says he will sort it for me so fingers crossed. will put some recent pics up soon, and im now settled on the wheels and they're here to stay !
