    Folks, what is the cheapest/best front bumper that has the most depth for the IC? I Have to buy one, but don't want to spend a ton of money if there will be a lot of cutting necessary...

      The holder for the screamer pipe is done (simple flat bar bent), then I removed the second spring from the wastegate, so now it's only a single 11psi spring for the beginning (just to be safe). The hot charge pipe is also ready, the cold pipe needs to be welded. Bov will be fitted on the IC outlet.
      The engine bay is filling pretty much , so not sure where I am going to fit some swirl pot

        Ic piping and Ic itself are fully welded and pressure tested. The IC cross-member with oil cooler mounting points is also done. The custom snub mount bracket is finished. Finally, I could assembly the Ic piping. Next week I will start to bleed the brakes and ABS as well, after this, hopefully I will be able to ran car at least a few km around.

          I had to switch from euro CQ bumper to the euro V6/S2 style bumper in order to fit my S2 intercooler. The official names of those bumpers may not be totally accurate. I can provide pics if you need them.

              I suspect the cheapest option with the most space would be a fiberglass copy of the RS2 front bumper, and apparently these can now be sourced in GRP.

              Figerglass and very expensive shipping!

              ABS Plastic with much cheaper shipping... This would be my choice.

              Or a genuine Audi V6, now very expensive!

                Yeah, I am considering a plastic copy of the RS2 bumper. The price is good, about 220 eur and free shipping. Lead time around 4 weeks

                  It actually says it is GRP later down the listing?

                    What does GRP mean? I will order that plastic copy of rs2 bumper. I think it would be the best option to have as much space as possible. There will be some tweaking with that bumper, but hopefully I can handle this on my own.
                    Currently I am in the middle of bleeding the brakes and finding a spot for mounting the ProVent 200, looks like there is a spot near the downpipe. Maybe with some heat wrap it could handle the heat there.

                        Mine seems to be a fully ABS plastic one. Not sure what quality, but hopefully not a bad one

                          Yesterday was a big milestone. The first few meters I drove the car. Well, it's more likea race car than a street car And to be honest I was pretty nervous about first ran. I have a small fuel leak around DP so I decided not to drive it much and rather bring it back to garage to solve these issues and also the cam cover is little bit leaking, so I will buy a new camcover gasket or use it together with some RTV?
                          But the clutch acting weird , as the clutch is grabbing almost at the "rest" position.

                          The clutch is completely new, just everything.
                          New Clutch master cylinder
                          New Slave cylinder
                          New clutch throw bearing
                          707 clutch plate
                          7A flywheel refurbed
                          6 puck KEP disc from KL racing

                          I thought the new clutch should grab at the lowest point or at least somewhere down.

                            Well done. Did my first proper drive yesterday as well. Always things to fix after this!
                            No expert on your clutch set up but could it be the that the slave rod is now a little too long?

                              Could be, but I set the height difference between brake pedal and clutch pedal (+10mm higher) accordingly to bentley manual. Not sure If its good as there arent plenty stock parts left but I did it, so brake pedal is approx 10mm lower than clutch pedal.

                                Maybe pull the slave cylinder and take a measurement to see if the rod is too long. You should have quite a lot of pedal movement before the clutch releases.
