    Hay mike the car has come along since last year it no longer looks like a pile of scrap !

    And the oil cap looks quite at home there now .

    As for mapping I have no time scale in place it gets done when the car is done and I have put some miles on the engine and any little problem is ironed out .

    jonus is only a couple of hours away buy plane and he will spend the weekend with us tuining ect ect .

    As for my interior I have full 20v half grey interior but I have had a bespoke carpet made as the original one is a bit fubar .

    But however I'm bidding on a set of recaro a8 front seats that's I will get recovered to match my 20v trim .

    Anyhow how's your car coming along ?

    Mate I bet your missing your car I can't believe you sold it after all that hard work you put in .

    However update wise I have been talking to jonus-racing and have bought a set of his custom spec cams for early boost and a billet adjustable timing wheel .

    And a maxxecu http://www.maxxtuning.se/maxxecu/ and arranged for him to fly over from Norway for 2 days to map my car when it's ready .

    So the small list of things to do is .

    Fit the intercooler and make boost pipes using clamshell clamps to eliminate boost leeks good for 125psi or 8 bar of boost .

    It the oil cooler and make the braided lines up .

    Fit the turbo oil and water lines .

    Fit the radiator.

    Remover the intercooler and fit the new cams and then plug the ecu in refit the intercooler then fire her up .

    Then Ish will paint the car and build her back up so I can run the engine in .

    Something like that anyhow .

    [QUOTE=quattro-nick;761770]great pictures mate
    what intercooler or you going to use or will you follow my example of my b2 coupe?
    how much power do you want to have with your setup?
    I just bought a gt3076r and my final goal is 500 HP[


    Regarding the intercooler i am waiting for a reply from wagner for a bespoke intercooler and a local company to come back with a price useing a garrett core so it's between them 2 depending on price .

    Power wise I'm talking to jonus-racing and he suggest useing his cams and the will easy do 650hp .
