Thanks daz, am keeping an eye on your build to cause once I finish the engine am going to need pointers on how to sort out styling diy.

Thanks mate, this time last year the most I had done as fit a induction kit on my previous mk3. Loads of reading, help from forums and Ive now got to this. Nearly there!

Started making my exhaust today was hoping to finish it but it was just one of those days when everything seemed to go wrong but I still did some bits.

Picture of the garage 


Welding up the downpipe and exhaust




Had loads of trouble trying to get the downpipe to fit properly but finally managed it.



So took it all out to weld it all up and I ran out of gas!!

This is what is going to look like.



Downpipe




Will get some more gas and finish welding it tomorrow. Will wait to do over the axle until ive droped the front end and will have more space under there. Ive still got to fit the RABR and 256mm brakes so will do it all at the same time.

If I want more power I can get a 16g with the larger hotside and put a 18g core in it and should see 400bhp but I wanted to keep the lag to a min so will stick with this 16g for now anyways! Eventually im hopefully gonna put this engine in a AWD so when I do that I think it will be time for a bigger turbo!

Theres only the centre silencer the others things are a flexi and cat. I may still take the centre silencer out yet, will see how loud it is when I start it up, Hopefully in a couple of wks!!

Awesome! think were on the same sheet so to speak... apart from your actually doing it 

 Lol, I just gotta decide which AWD vag car to put it in, plenty of time to decide tho!

[jonrandom]

  were defo on the same page!! I was just looking on ebay at mk2's for my next project, maybe making it AWD but was thinking a mid engined RWD would be alot easier and awesome!!

[jonrandom]

I think ill stay with the golfs. Look at me getting ahead of myself I gotta finish this project first then hope the missus will allow me to do another!  :embarassed:

[jonrandom]

That is defo the plan 100% ill be going if its finished.

Finished welding up the elbow and most of the rest of the exhaust. Need a bit of a clean up as it doesnt look to neat but its thick welds to make sure theres no cracking.



Welded a bigger bit of pipe on to the 15mm outlet so it fits perfect for the 19mm hose.
