Bora vents got wired up today. Looking good :smiley: Will get pictures when it's dark later!

Also painted my battery cover, not an amazing finish but will do for now! It's not finished in the first pic..

Replacd crappy coil with Genuine VW one and it seems to behave itself now. Still not boosting properly though :sad:

Fitted GTI footrest and the W8 light. The footrest looks really smart!

Had a full oil and filter change this morning. Was waiting for some things to turn up but they're out of stock. Never mind, they'll get fitted when I return from my holiday.

EDIT:Not worth a new post for this, fitted the bit behind the centre bora vent I was missing after picking it up from the dealers.

On my return from holiday I picked up my Forge Boost Hoses that had been delivered while I was away. (top price & service from Damian @ DPM!)



Managed to fit the two easiest ones on top of the bay today as time wasn't on my side, not sure when the rest will be fitted but probably a week on Wednesday with a hand from Dan ( ;) )

Not sure what's next for the car, it depends if the hoses solve the problems I'm having if not then it's a new MAF and 4 new coil packs!

Right, quite a productive day today, managed to fit the new Forge Intercooler to TB hose as the VW one had burns in it.Only one more to do so that can be done soon, not bothering with the small one in the wheel arch as mines in perfect nick and n one will see it anyway!

During fitting:



Fitted:



I bought another boost gauge holder for one on the A-pillar as IMO it looks better, so fitted that. Fits nice but if i'd paid the £90ish RRP I'd still feel a bit cheated to be honest.

Fitted:



And yes it needs a clean but I ran out of stuff, a job for tomorrow!

Also noticed a massive kink in the vac pipe leading to the boost gauge so cut that bit off and it's all good.
