no wonder you couldnt outrun a gt tdi then with 100kw. oh well thats soon to change eh

Well considering a stock Polo GTI put out 89kw from memory it is more than stock.
Neil, with the mods you have and no boost leak, what do you think you should've been putting down at the wheels?

[99gti]

Some where around 125kw mark at the wheels give or take a few.

Onto some good news, I have found an S3 dump pipe that will be modified to suit my car. K04 goodness is fast approaching! More goodies due for arrival this week.

I still need to source a S3/TT turbo intake pipe and prices for all the gaskets etc will be here tomorrow.

Keeping an eye on this thread..

My FMIC just arrived It's quite big, bigger than I imagined. Should both look and perform cool!

It's the same dimensions as schwartza3's 710x170x65:

This is the S3 dump pipe:




I'll chop it where it splits off into two and have it 3" from there back into the cat. From there it will be straight 3" to the reamus box I currently have but I'm going to change the tips on it to something less chunky.

This will all be done at the same time as my new FMIC will be fitted. All of that piping will also be done in polished stainless. I'm amazed at how much the FMIC actualy weighs. The Aust post label only says 4.8kg but it sure feels heavier...

Noice.

To be honest, i like your back box. Its out of place but still looks good i think.. Its different.

Get smacking.

Todays been a busy day, I have another update! lol

I've been doing a lot of research into turbo intake pipes. I was thinking Samco originaly, but I stumbled accross a few threads on the tex where they discussed a brand name autobahn88. They have recieved mostly excelent reviews, and at $US100 less than their Samco equivilent I've decided I'll bite the bullet and give it a go. Total coast shipped is $US105.

I was a bit cautious about these prior to another discussion I had with another member here who also purchased one and hasn't looked back.

Here's a pic:



Once that arrives, I'll be almost ready to rock n roll!!!
