Right time for a fresh update, lots has happened and nothing has happened lol
First off heat shield is here and i will be starting on that very soon, ive got WMI (found thanks to Jardo ) my 3in dp in cat arrived and is all fitted, heatshield for airfilter all fitted, so here are the pics
My shiney new downpipe and de cat
new and old side by side
Now once fitted it was so tight to the prop it was just touching, ive spoken to Sam and he has said ive gotta fit the dog bone powerflex bushes and i should slacken the engine mount bolts and slide the engine over to the pass side a little, will be trying this tomorrow, it took 2 1/2 hours on a 2 post ramp, i dropped the subframe and rack to gain enough clearance to get the DP out, it is also worth saying that one of the bolts for the dp to turbo is a mare to get at, best advice i can give is a ratchet spanner with a double flex head, i also got an S3 cat back exhaust, now this is the funny bit, i would have thought the A3 TQS and S3 would share the same exhaust layout ie mounts, no they dont so im left with to choices cut the S3 mounts off and weld them on in the same place as the TQS mounts or try and get the rubber S3 mounts
My Bargain WMI kit, bought off a lad on VAG parts on FB, paid on nye arrived thursday WINNER
Here is the Heat shield i got from S3dave, fitment is spot on and i have bolted my catch tank to it aswell, happy days
not the best pic but it was dark
Another of Jardos finds
80mm tip V2 i think, should be here soon
All thats left is to fit the WMI (i havent got a clue) and order a set of Injectors
Now on the WMI front the injector is in a plastic thing that by the look of it you drill a hole in a solid boost pipe and then this bolts to the pipe??? its this
Nozzle Mounting Adapter
can someone explain please
Id just like to thank Jardo for finding me loads of parts, and Prawn for taking me out in his
