Light glass wasn't in the best condition. So it's not going on the car.

Sourced a full set of Bora vents.

Also bought the 18mm MDF for my sub box. Ideally need to buy a fibreglass, wiring kit and sub now.

Fed up with the rear view mirror being beige and sticking out like a sore thumb on the windscreen. So bought a black one this morning.

Got this through the post today:



Before (best one I could find)



Together:



(Both the same size)

Fitted:



From above (Can't really see the mirror )



Now got to wait for my Bora vents to turn up!

Bora vents are here

Also got a new disptick guide and ftted it this morning as mine was in two parts!

Not too much to update as money been really tight.

Had my car RR'ed and it got 198.8BHP with a flat spot after 3.5k so I've possibly got a boost leak, may be coming from my burnt intercooler hose, Ivor has given me another one so may put that on or source a full hose kit from the likes of Forge.

Waiting for my Bora vent loom to come, potentially sorted an exhaust for the future.

Just ordered a boost gauge for the car so that should be here soon, not sure how to mount it, whether to order a pillar mount (£80 though!), can't go down the vent route as my Bora Vents will be in soon and don't really like the look of much else!

Received my boost gauge today, ordered the SWG one with the silver bezel but got sent the Newsouth Spectrum one worth £15 more! And I can change the colours of the LED's. Just need to sort out where I am going to mount it. Looks pretty smart i think.

Right after received my boost gauge I ordered this from AwesomeGTI:



Then I bought this off Ivormk4 (Thanks Keith!) Got it through the post this morning been meaning to get one for agggeesss.



Then I won a V6 rear valence on eBay today so that should come pretty soon ready for a new exhaust.

Fitting of the boost gauge will happen on Wednesday, the panel filter probably tomorrow morning.

Bora loom done has been completed and I fitted the panel filter

Received the mount this morning so went over VW/D4N's house (cheeers Doooood) and installed my boost gauge. didn't get chanc to wire in the illumination so i'll save that to another day. Not entirely sure where the cable go anyway.

So it looks like this:



Running 20 VAC and peaking at about 16-17PSI then calming off to 15PSI

Quite happy with mine and Dans efforts, and surprised it worked first time!
