morning chaps well progress is now well under way with probably 1-2 evenings work left before i can send her off to scoff for the ecu and loom to be installed would like to say a big thanks to dave h aka shaggy for all his help it really does look well in the bay now here is some pictures from last night .
on a bad note though i was screwing in an oil cooler pipe last night and it jumped out of my hand chiped a small bit of paint off the drivers wingoh well looks like another trip to the body shop
hope you like the bay
here are some more pics
last ones for now
Looking good mate. Did any of my cheapo brakets fit?
Absolute porn mate!
Whats the thought on the combined intercooler/chargecooler setup?
cheers matt i think i can make either bracket work but thats one of the jobs i have left to do to finish it
thank you mate i chose to run them both as i wanted to try something different than a front mount as i like the oe look at the front without the front mount on show, so far it seems to be proving good with where i have located the charge cooler at 15psi of boost i didnt see any charge temps higher than 34% so with more boost to be run this time round i hope they dont shoot through the roof but only time will tell
She's looking fit mate I cant wait to see her running.
Phill looks stunning matey can't wait to see this in the flesh. Keep up the good work
cheers for the comments lads

any news phil???
Well just walked in what a long day left at 6.30 this morning was good to meet Chris and have a good chat about what the plan of action is for the next 10 days he was pleased with the inlet manifold design and thinks it should work really well so thanks to jim for that I think the only concerns at the moment is how the vnt will work but I suppose it's suck it and see for the mo and see how it responds to some big Boooost
Cheers all got some pics of it at scoffs unit but can't load until tomorrow
Phil
morning all here is a few pics of the car on its way and a couple of pics at efi parts workshop
Excellent work mate.
Should be a beast with a shed load of torque once all mapped up. Hope you got a good paddle clutch in there.
Was going to ask how you were planning on controlling the VNT, if it behaves like mine did, your boost will increase as normal but instead of stopping at 14psi (or what ever the actuator is set to) it'll just keep climbing
Phil is running a different actuator setup to what yours and mine was running Ollie. Phil's actuator works the same as it would on a diesel car were as our actuator pushed the vanes open and actuator are limited the vane opening to control boost / flow level, Phil's one pull's close like a diesel to limit boost. I am sure Chris aka Scoff will sort it out, surprised no one is using some kind of electronic actuator like some of the VW's and others use that come from factory. If a manufacturer can control a vnt Scoff is more than capable of doing so
yeh, what he said ^^^
Looking really nice, looking forward to the results!

a big thanks to scoff for keeping me well up to date on the cars progress at his workshop, hopefully if all goes to plan chris will be in a position to fire the car up today
Nice mate very nice hands down to you with all the effort
