[gh172]

I've really enjoyed reading this thread too, definitely inspired me to start modifying my own car!

So a busy weekend to finish this project off ....

1st off
Fitted a Turbo Intake Pipe from MST. This is new on the market and should add another few kw

Noticeable improvement over stock

Intake sound is a bit deeper and the blow-off more pronounced. According to MST, even a stock diverter can be heard with this new TIP.

I'm expecting to be around that elusive 150kw mark now for the 110TSI. Such a nice drive now.

Would be interested to see the dyno results. Have you upgraded the intercooler? Maybe next thing on the list... If you're still running the stock one it could be quite restrictive at the power levels you're running now.

2nd off the big job of fitting the SuperNova LED headlights ....

This is a full bumper off job, lots of clips in weird places and lots of electrics to disconnect from sensors. It was a good learning experience though.

Does look pretty good fitted

Wow! Finishes it off. So much nicer than those stock halogens.

New headlights look leaps and bounds better than the original halogens. And you can never go wrong with some power mods too

So, being slightly bored on a Friday afternoon I researched some random stuff (mostly Up! related for that project), but found this ....

Downpipe VW Audi Seat Skoda 1,2 1,4 TSI Exhaust Stainless Steel 200 Cell Kat | eBay

Stainless sports downpipe for the 1.4TSI with a sports 200 cell cat .... claimed 11kw in it .... will this take me to 160kw?

It is soooooo tempting

Are you really expecting us to say anything other than: "DO IT !!!" ?

Hey Sharkie love the thread on your build i have the dsg version just done a res delete and now looking for for the mst cai u got for your car did you get this in australia or from over seas

Also would you have the part number for the rear bar valance the vw dealers in perth are a bit incompetent

Thanks in advance

[Sharkie]

I got all the bits from MST direct MST Performance Auto Part

They ship to Australia and is normally pretty quick.

Lots of 1.4TSI bits on there

[Moz023]

Sweet thanks for that i have looked there wasnt sure about shipping

Hi Sharkie,

what are yours thoughts about the new inlet pipe since you installed? I want to do as well but the cheapest place I could find is around $200+shipping and I want to find out if it worth it.

Thanks.
