PD's A3 - Build thread

lmao most the stuff i do myself or import bud. ask breadroll he will tell you! everyone out there is trying to make a quick buck with no customer service or knowledge on their product

Yeah its true what you say! DIY is the way to go... I don't know if I have the balls to do a engine re-build like you though!
 
its not that bad was my 1st time pulling a motor out myself and it started 1st time lol
 
No lag just loads of torque!!

I really need to get it mapped to take full advantage of it. Im currently running stage 2 but I've added a few bits since then. I think my turbo is giving up as its chucking out blue smoke every now and then so i think i'll just go k04 now.

Torque is a conrod bender! Lol, no I'm joking...

I would ideally like to go k04 as well but I'm scared of breaking other bits like CV's, gearboxes and rods... Will see though!
 
Pics I found: (Pity my car was still a 4x4 then...)

Next Mod I did was make my own boost gauge pod:

Also fitted a new exhaust tip because I didn't like the sound the old one made. But the bumper was BADLY cut so it looks a bit ****!! But I fixed that pretty soon after...

Haha no I did actually spray them... I read before the time it doesn't really make a difference... One drive around the block and it all burnt off... Breaks are all good!
 
Buying it second hand from a guy on the gti club... A guy from stealth tuned... R 2500 not bad right?
 
Pretty stoked for it! Dude do you think I can give you my injectors to take to the same place you took yours? I need to get them serviced and don't know where to take it... Limited with choice where I'm am! Lol
 
Next I plasti dipped my mirrors gloss black:

Yeah Plasti dip is getting quite big here. But its still relatively new to most! I really like the stuff and its so easy to work with...

The exhaust isn't actually too loud.. I quite like it!
 
Some pictures of my car getting some love at the tuners:

Devils Own DVC30 stage 2 Progressive kit was installed this weekend. It was quite a lot of work but so worth it in the end!

Not sure on Devils Own , But AEM tell you not to put the pump in the engine bay or where its open to the elements, does your wing liner cover that?
Neat install though... :arco:
