You mean why was it split open and dissected? Yes, just for flow really.

Lovely.. why was the top off the IM? Flow job?

Looking very nice there Charlie. Those last pics speak for themselves.

[cardcrash]

Yes, do that, the out of focus shot you put up does your engine bay no justice!!

Thanks. Yes wanted the red tfsi leads to be visible for a touch of contrast and subtle inuendo as to what the car is all about. Turbo is a custom made precision turbo 58 billet 66 exhaust from Jonus racing. Cams, head etc all to his spec. Like yourself its been a big spend lol. The credit has to go two people though who i will big up on a seperate thread.

Some PVA glue and glitter should do the job!

Looks great, you need to dig deep and splash out on a new oil cap buddy

[cardcrash]

No words, just pictures...

































Coming along nicely, should have a sparkly new exhaust soon...

[cardcrash]

Nice, very nice! I see you've gone for the vented top cover and dark colours too, and that's a big looking turbo...???

No cardcrash, I dont have a thread but heres a sneaky pic for now its nearing completion. Just waiting for my downpipe to come back from Zircotec then it will fired up and run in before power mapping. Like yourself im also running kwv3, wavetrac, hispec brakes etc. But the beauty of it is it will look like a mint OEM UR from the outside. Its a project of patience but will be worth it im sure. Jsws3 has an almost identical car to mine.

I know, seems a shame it'll be covered in crap in no time...

Just as I put that up I've just had a barrage of pictures sent through on WhatsApp, mostly head work and engine assembly...

[newsh]

Wow, that rear diff mount is way too nice to put under the car!

[cardcrash]

Will's been mean with picture updates lately, when I quizzed him about it he just said that he'd be sending me a whole load soon, but over the last couple of weeks this is all I've had:

Some nuts n bolts:


Cambelt, oil temp sender, sprocket and a thermostat:


Some bushes:


Mount avec bush:




Diff mount, avec bushes:


Diff mount, mounted:


Exhaust is being made right now, that I'm excited about ...

[cardcrash]

LOL.

Ask Kit he knows where it is.

Kit said he has no idea what you're on about, that you live in Ireland and that's all he knows!!

Looks like a great project. Very interesting thread. Similar to my current project albeit have a UR quattro not an RS2.

Do you have a build thread going, with lots of pictures??
