Never been happy with the turbo water hose. If i wanted it any where near right it touched the rad. So i cut up a old hose, now i can add a straight bit with a joiner to that end^ then the rest of the hose for the shape.. And it will look much better.

Shame about engine mount\boost pipe issue!

Thank you Sir.

Yea Gareth at Welsh Coast Customs made the system up, with a TX down pipe welded in.

The mount/pipe issue is a very annoying one. But hoping it wont be to hard to fix.

Shifter box all painted and lacquered,

Next i went to fit the throttle cable, something was missing.. The gromit in the bulk head. Oh what a c**t to fit.
It's hidden here...

Dan with hand in bay, me inside the cars..

Got that in, then moved to changing the drive shaft seal.. and bleeding all the brakes up.

Then plugged all the loom in fully, hid the coil and plugged that in.

Move on to the ic fitting... With a bit of CAD i've made this..

To have added to the end of the ic, so i can have a small silicone joiner and it should be ok.

Fitted my rad in too to make sure everything clears.

Polished the whole thing this time...

Why do you need an ABS outer CV joint?

Coming together nicely now, perhaps grab a TX Autosport rear water pipe to replace the black plastic one?

the turbo looks abit grubby.

what about ceramic coating....Chrome style
p.s i know thats a wastegate!

The cv hits the outer of the bearing so wont turn, but if i use a abs one the ring sits against the inner of the bearing so it moves freely..

I have thought of it, but you can really see much of it so didnt really see the point.. But i prob will.

I know they're VW, but what about some polished P Slots?

(obviously with the centre cap unlike this picture):

Alot of fiddle though, pereli p slots are nice, but wrong offset and Benns got 5stud gub conversion also..

Doubt they'd fit over the brakes either

Would look good tho

Ohh, I forgot he had the 5 stud conversion :(
