So won a new Y pipe on eBay that was already carbon hydro dipped, when it arrived today gave it another coat of lacquer before I fit it!

Thanks mate, it's nice cause it's even got a sort of gold fleck like real carbon! Should be putting everything on next week, having a few days off work to get it all done! I've collected quite a few bits over the last few weeks

So after a busy day made good progress! Cambelt etc all fitted, rocker covers done, exhaust all fitted and lined up, not a bad system for the money to be fair, coilovers and arms all fitted to along with my Y pipe!

It's made by a company called Direnza, it was only £220 delivered. It sounds nice, fitted well etc! Very pleased!

Steering wheel and wheels all fitted and back on the floor! Front end needs to come a little more but letting it all settle first!

Mate to true! I've actually raised the front up today, it was to low for me!

So got the car all cleaned today and went for a good drive! So far so good and here is how it looks at the minute!

Looking good. Does it get the much coveted "Magic Carpet" award?
My mk1 jetta had it. Soaked up the bumps nicely and held nice and level through the corners.

Yeah it does mate I'm very impressed, they were worth the money to be fair, but I'm trying to only fit good stuff if I can where the wallet allows!
I do think it needs a new N75 valve though! Boost can be a bit erratic at times!

So my mirrors arrived yesterday, gave them a polish and got them fitted! When I paint the car I'll have them ceramic ball polished again!
Genuine Audi billet aluminium! Love them

Not a fan of those
Mate really? I'm a big fan! Always out in whatever S car I've had! I'm tempted to matte lacquer them to take the brightness out of them

Problem is mate they do have stone chips/light scratches etc! I was thinking red scotch and lacquer

I just dislike chrome/bling.
Mine had the brushed alloy roof rails, those came off and black ones went on.
They're also a thief magnet.

You can get the scotch pads on discs for your grinder assuming you have one. That would save some time. Then autosol and a buffing wheel. Shame on me, I can remember what tool creates the swirl effect. I know it's placed on the surface and twisted and then lifted and moved to a knew section the placed and twisted then repeated until the whole surface I done.
B5 is old hat mate! Theif's aren't nicking stuff of these anymore, certainly not my way anyway! Most kids don't even know what they are anymore!

Just out of interest, why do you say that? Surely the n75 will control boost to standard spec? My guess is it'll be a little more laggy and then just keep up with requested to redline?
Then surely you have failsafes like overboost sensing and switching it too limp mode?

Because a bigger turbo flows more air for the same boost pressure.
So yea, it'll happily supply the standard boost pressure, but be flowing more air in the process. The MAF will ofcourse measure this extra air and attempt to fuel for it, but if you run out of injector theres nothing else it can do and you go lean...

But surely the limiting factor is the pipework in the rest of the system, I understand the turbos can produce more flow under pressure but the engine still only flows the same volume as before and that is where the pressure is created isn't it?
