Ok, so this project really started back in Jan. of last year when I started buying the bits for the conversion.
I took me over a year to get it all together, buying bits when I could afford them.
Added to the parts you see in the picture, I have also had fitted a new lambda sensor, both knock sensors,an 044 fuel pump and an 034 sports cat. Don't want to get caught out with roadside emissions checks
All these parts and the car were left in the capable and safe hands of the wizzard. a.k.a Jase at the Lion Garage in Hinckley.
A few weeks, and a very reasonable bill later, I now have one fairly rapid motor. Second gear has to be my favourite ( &3,4,5&6
). It just punches you hard into the back of the seat.
Top marks to Jase as he had to battle hard to get the 034 downpipe to fit, 2 days on the ramps just for this. His words were......" well made but fits **** "
I also have to thank Ben (S2Avant) for his guidance and help with this project.
A picture of his handywork.
The next stage will be to fit an RS2 intercololer (when Ben has finished with it) and also a remap to squeeze the best out of the turbo.
Good news on the cat too, car easilly passed emissions test during the MOT.

Not tempted by a Bo style big IC then? 350+bhp will be rather tasty!
Oh, and 330+ftlbs! OH, and very little lag :mischeif: !
