Luddenham happened. Unreal fun on a fun little track. Killed my K04-001 turbo. Just in case anyone didn't realise its the same car, I'm over here at the moment finishing off this project to get her...
Thanks mate. appreciate it.
Just putting the Dave base tune in now. Spent the day getting things a bit more finalised.
confirmed the upgraded MAF housing internal diameter. The MAF is off a...
Yeah the facia has two pieces. The front bit that you can see from the outside but also another piece that clicks into the facia from behind which steers air into the intercooler.

You just need to cut the Forge or whatever brand turbo inlet hose (TIP) 2/3rds of the way down for a pipe off the compressor. Catch 22 is that if you cut the TIP off lower,...
well my hand was forced. managed to damage a blade on the K04-001 at Luddenham. I thought I'd just cooked the bearing but it turned out the whining noise was a shaft not liking its new 'balance'. ...
Exhaust went in today. The down pipe section of the K03s/K04-001 dump was cut off and in its place a dump off the TFSI turbo was made up. From what I can gather the flange is the same between the...
There's a few left overs that will be for sale
- K03, K03s,K04-001 dump pipe. 3 inch. Just the first section straight off the turbo down to about the subframe. Only needs a 45 degree on the bottom...
Alright the project has begun.
54135lots of fasteners needed and their lengths checked. Decided to run with studs on the bottom wedge plates rather than bolts. That bit me in the arse later on...

Gday James. Sorry yep I did. I'll get on it. Are other makes welcome or only if the VW spots are undersubscribed?
yeah I will next time I see him. thx. I had used Penrite ProGear 75W85 GL4 which was 90% with the diff. I then went to a Nulon full synth GL4 that you'd said Justin used with the Kaaz in the civic....
zero has been happening with the car lately. My garage leaks like a sieve so lying on a wet floor with drips coming in around me isn't really conducive to tackling decent size projects.
I most...
Thanks Gary. We’ll I’ve got to pause for a bit to get the supertechs installed into the head first which will give me time to deliberate. There are some ARP bolts in the country for not deal breaker...
I would have done ARP's automatically but there's a fair bit out there where people have written/provided pics about having to retorque them, finding fasteners that have backed off, stud nuts that...

no worries mate. hang in there brother. If you want me to contact him on your behalf or anything like that let me know.
Too much of that tuning went over my head so use a guy in the UK to do the tunes that I flash in with ME7 flasher and log with ME7 logger. He handles the actual tuning so I'm sorry I cant help you...
Good stuff. Glad you finally got it in. Yeah I think as a streetable/daily-able diff its very hard to beat the torsen type diffs. I'm driving a 1 -way SQS clutch diff which is another level up...
good to see you pressing on mate. My block is close to done. The AGU big port head is going to have some supertech stainless OE replacement exhaust valves. I just need to save a bit more coin to...
I generally drive the passenger side (aus) wheels up on a brick height somethingorother. You need those wheels up a bit to get the gearbox level and then you can get the 2L in.
Cool. Call me if you need to sell some surplus tyres!!
Which track day provider do you mean? Anyone really. Depends mostly on a favourable date but mostly Trackschool.
If you mean people, mostly 2 guys from the hillclimb comps ( best mate and Andrew...
