wide arch mod  you kmow it makes sense and it will make her look a BEAST!!!!

It would but I want to keep it looking standard so when I put the engine into something else I can sell on the car no probs.

Plus I can destroy some people who make the mistake of thinking its a standard golf!

Yeah there was a camber on it if I remember right then maybe I could use 15mm spacers and it will fit but we will see. They are 19" so I guess ill have to change them if they dont a bit of a pain in the ar$e!

Spacers will take it out further? or you got 20's on atmo to clear stuff?

Ive got 19's with 20mm spacers on at the mo. I could maybe go down to 15mm but I think thats still going to hit the brembos will have more of an idea once I drop it off the stands. Got a feeling it just not going to work tho

update?

Right ive been waiting for the last few wks for the turbo oil and coolant lines to turn up so ive just been busying myself spaying things making the bay look a bit better.




Sprayed the throttle body and a few other bits



Next I bought some refletive insulation sheet and got my missus to sow it to fit round the bucket.




I borrowed some insulation from work  to stuff it with to add extra protection then put it in the bay to make sure it will all fit.







Ordered some super high strength bolts and nord lock washers just to make sure the turbo doesnt go walkies.



The turbo oil and coolant lines turned up today

My manifold is just getting skimmed to make sure the header flange is completely flat hopefully that should be done tomorrow. Then put it all back together and hopefully I can start it up this wkend!
