what about the engine itself? no ones mentioned running power safely. the agu has forged pistons but the conrods are a known weak point.

also, looks like your doing a good job of the install  :smiley:

Down pipe is off the s3 the turbo it came off, it didnt fit amazing obviously because of the haldex on the s3 but its now sorted last night by a friend of a friend, no more knocking.

Tbh iv done it this way, as it fell in with ud so once its all mapped all the ic pipework will be made in one in alloy, n looking to get the engine fully forged n rebuilt at somepoint.

Off to r tech on saterday morning.
