Update! (with pics)
Saturday I went to pick up:
KO4 Turbo (from 225bhp S3) with wastegate
3" s3 maf sensor and housing
upgraded s3 injectors (bigger then standard s3)
3" red forge silicone turbo intake pipe
oil feeds
water lines
mainfold
twin cats and downpipe
brand new magnex decat pipe
all bolts, nuts, gaskets (brand new still in vag packets)
all for £450 off blownturbo off here (top guy)
Brought it all back then started on taking out the engine again, the front end off with the KO3s waiting to come off:
Did it all day saturday and replaced turbo and had it back in by saturday night. Did all the wiring exhaust/downpipe on sunday as the KO4 has a different downpipe and requires twin cats, so had to take off my standard single cat downpipe (which I only replaced the other week - for sale!) and replaced it with this bad boy:
Put the car back together and then started her up, started 1st time but have got 2 leaks; oil and water, had a look on ETKA and seen the parts we need to order in:
1) need a new gasket for the oil return pipe
2) need a new o-ring for the water feed as the one I had is slightly split.
About 3pm on sunday we stopped and the car had to be moved to my other mates for him to finish off after work as Bangsrallye300+ had to put another car in his garage, here is a pic of me getting towed by Sammy on here to Bens
Could have driven it but didnt want to risk running out of oil whilst driving and doing damage!
Once we got to bens I took a few snaps, I also got some hitachi coilpacks as the standard aum bosch ones are weak and blew up with my ko3s so with a ko4 I think they would last about 2 minutes, new red forge intake pipe ties in well with the red hoses and main hose on throttle body. You can also no longer see the KO3s charge pipe but just the bigger manifold for the KO4 B)
My inlet manifold looked really dirty so I said whilst it was there we might as well take it out and i can sand and polish it for when it goes back in, so we did (look how dirty it is now and how mirrorred it came up in the newest post in this thread)
After I get these bits on then new boost pipes will need to be made up for my front mount, fit them and they get a remap and I should be looking at between 280 and 290 bhp.
pics to follow shortly, hopefully will be up and running by thursday, if not definatly this weekend!
I have a stage one remapped immobiliser defeated AUM ecu for sale now along with a standard downpipe, pm me if interested!
280bhp here I come, now even a bigger difference from the initial factory 75 brake it came out with
