The ones on ebay have the t** flange :sad:

Cheers guys, noticed it pulls a bit better now but I dont think there will be much gains untill remap unless your standard actuator is dead :evil:

Here I find myself again :grin: not alots gone down since last time if im honest, Been Pretty busy at work but I have found time to do a few subtle things...

Was the First Meeting of the year for my Local car Club this saturday just gone and wow... what a turn out, was quite litteraly hundreds of people turned up  :cool: to the point where we got moved of three seperate plots :laugh:. I met Andynorfolk off hear up there which was pretty cool putting a face to a name, nice meeting you dude :cool: probably see you at the next one.

Sorry for the crap Pictures the lighting was pretty bad  :lipsrsealed:

My red I and my pals 'R, Teg & VXR




I Ordered a load of bits during last week which turned up but Havent had time to fit them  :cry:



*Catch Can
*2 meters of 19mm id hose
*x2 19mm-15mm adaptors
*x1 19mm T piece
*10mm braided hosing
*15mm Silicone hosing

Since I lost a rear mudguard within the first few days of owning her  :grin: I decided to get rid of them all :cool:
Not sure why I took so long doing this as it makes the car look so much nicer!

Went and brought some Hamerite and cracked on with doing my calipers, think its a really nice colour contrast





Finished off with some Simoniz tyre dressing  :smiley:



Ive recently Had to replace both my handbrake problems due to them bring seized, apparently this Is a common issue on the mk4's SO I found a nice how to with a fix for a few quid of the dealer, They clip into the caliper and the arm to retract it. as this is why the cables stretch and corrode after time



Expect an update this week  :wink:

thanks for looking

UPDATE 22/03/12

What lovely weather weve had here in Norfolk the past week, Dare I say summer has officialy started!? :lipsrsealed:

Well...... A few of the lads at work knew ive been desperately waiting for some bits to arrive and today I was working out in the yard when a courier pulls up, Thought ahh brilliant hopefully its for me carried on working knowing that one of the office lot would sign for it bla bla bla. Anyway 10/15mins pass and I get called in for a Brew and was announced that a parcel had indeed arrived for me. Brilliant I thought, quickly finished off what I was doing then headed in.

Sat down and there was the legit parcel all addressed to me bla bla bla, Started carefully opening it up and sieving through all the polystryine and card.... Well F#CK me, My heart sunk as my blood level rose  :angry:

Infront of me was this...




Well  :shocked:  :angry: I didnt know what to do the f#cking thing almost got launched accross the workshop, Not only had I recieved a different turbo, its an absolutely knackered:cry: though great Ive been scammed big time.

then a few of the lads came in and started winding me up that I had been mugged off which really wasnt helping seeing I was getting closer to exploding  :grin: then they all burst out laughing and handed me another parcel  :rolleyes:

ripped the new one apart and inside this beautiful looking GEM greeted me  :smug:



Got well and truely stitched up  :grin: :grin:

Should of known something was up at the beggining seeing as everyone I work with are top notch wind up merchants :grin:

What they'd done is gone through the engine warranty box and found a turbo has a snapped turbine under a year old :shocked: and parcelled it up for me  :sick:


The new blower Is a brand New Genuine OEM K* series with all gaskets and fitting  :cool: :smug:

Sorry for the life story  :grin:

thanks for reading will be updating again very soon  :cool:
