    As above guys really, what's the specs of the turbos using? For example: Model - T3 AR Compressor - 50mm AR turbine - 50mm Etc etc, just wanna get a rough idea of the specs of the turbos you guys are using so I know what to roughly go for... Really thinking T3 turbo but there's to many cheapy turbos around to trust to be honest Cheers y'all

    After reading marks incredible thread over on ED38 i could totally relate to what he was on about by sayin why have a super clean car then things like rusty calipers etc just let it down!!! so on the hunt i want for some tank straps.... found some, stainless steel and mirror polished. £46 for all 3, bargin! then, i also took onboard about what people were sayin about going for the mk4 V6 4 motion rear splitter... again, lookin around and got this genuine VW part for £30. stoked! so, i think i will leave it it's plastic color to tie in with my VR6 splitter on the front of the car.

    well, made a trip to a mates hose and hydralic place today, making me up some custom braided stainless steel: clutch hyralic pipe PAS pipes from the pump to the rack and from the tank to the rack brake lines from the master servo to my 2 T pieces and then from there to my front brakes should be ready in a few weeks. also pulled the wiring loom into the car and removed it, binned all the ABS wiring, pulled my interior out, well passenger seat and rear seats so i can relocate all my rear brake pipes via a bias valve easier. thats it for the minute. all coming alont nicely

    Thanks buddy On a different note, i've had a change of heart on my wheels for the show season.... I'm gonna roll with my genuine BBS RC 041's and get the centre's color coded the same brown and the lips and BBS cap bolts mirror polished with my gold bolts... should set it off a treat.... Whats VR6OC's verdict on my choice?

    so, cracked on with the rest of it today, got the engine and box out. Put it on a pallet and wrapped some blue tirpolin over it to try and keep it dry etc. Started to remove bits and pieces, dumped the ABS unit and the loom.... Dumped the old rusty/rotten PAS pipes and then relocated the PAS bottle to drivers side wing, ordered custom PAS braided lines to run along the chasis legs so there hidden, split my old loom again so i can pull all the wires inside the car and start to get to work on fixing the fubard loom!! so i got a few snaps to keep y'all happy!! How we started at 10am A few last

    No problem mate. I wish you all the best for it and hope it all works out.. and I would love to see the project. What are you doing about exhaust and downpipe? Needs a minimum of 2.5 inch for turbo, preferably 3 inch. I built my own full 3 inch exhaust from turbo back, (inc downpipe) from 3 inch stainless steel, with 1 back box and some 3 inch pipe as my tail pipe, that cost a few hundred quid to do. Also if you need a 3 inch silencer box I have a spare.. I bought 2 so if 1 was too loud I could put another in, but 1 is ok for me. My best mates a farmer i got 4ft of 2.5" exhaust pipe and i al
