Guys, I dont have many photo's of the motor in and running, but it goes like crazy in the night and early morning, but heatsoaks and knocks in middle of day. The Canberra VW centre did the work and have performed a good job, but there are a few things that I/ another Mech need to take care of. I have a K&N Apollo enclosed filter coming so that the poor 1.8T isnt sucking in any hot air (Which is causing the problems) and im putting a reversed WRX scoop on to get rid of more hot air. at the middle of the night in Canberra (IT IS STILL REAL COLD) the water to air intercooler is almost at ambient temp when i put my hand on it, but middle of day, it is only slightly colder than the turbo outlet pipe. SO... it is knocking when hot. I only hope the enclosed pod filter with a cold air feed will be ample. I will upload all the pictures i possibly can when I get the car on monday 

This is the Cupra we are talking about. I have one other pic with just the motor in, but i cant upload them for some reason.
