SG-TP-AB RS230 - Timeline

So much for not having much planned...
Fedex shipment arrived at work today from ESC tuning, with the CTS oil cooling housing and a forge turbo blanket. I've got some exhaust wrap also coming and plan to wrap the CTS downpipe.

Will do a diff service as well as the car will be in stands to remove the downpipe.

Also in the list is the cut out the grill to increase the flow by 50%

I'll grab some photos, should be doing it this weekend.

Big day today, but Unfortunately didn't have time to get progress photos.

Day started with a wheel alignment, was out a bit.

Downpipe out and heat wrapped, sounds a lot better now, it's lost its tinny-ness.

Forge turbo blanket on, needed to remove heat shield, like 4 bolts.

Both these should keep some heat out.

CTS oil housing with cooling fins, oil temp was a touch lower on the first drive, and it seemed to take a little longer to go from 90 to max temp.

Also cut the other half of the front grill out, which should help with air flow...

While the car was in stands, dropped the VAQ Diff oil and replaced the 2 bolts and about 250-300ml of new oil.

Now to tune the JB4 and have emailed BMS for tuning review.

Also the HPA puck has blown out but a replacement is on the way. So great service from them.

Got the GFB DVX coming too to help throttle response and the dvx has a blow off valve so that should be fun....

GFB DVX installed... Sounds like a rally car from the 90s now Thanks to a fellow member, However it is illegal to Vent to atmospheric in QLD so 0 vent while on road
Will need to re run the catch can hose as it doesn't look healthy is current spot

Also put the JB4 back to Map 6 with a max of 22psi, Ive got happy laps in a few weeks to tune it up a bit more.

New wind screen day today at RACQ Lawnton.

Guys did a great job. Window in, then took it to Bob Jane for a wheel alignment, then RACQ re calibrated the screen (auto wipers, lights, ACC, lane assist I guess)

Just dropped the oil, 7500km done since dealer service. New tool was good and didn't damage the drain plug like I had with a screwdriver.

Booked for happy laps in June so that should be fun. Nothing else planned unless something breaks...

Skoda Saturday....
Noticed the rear rotor had a rust ring, so had some time to pull the pads out and found that the pad has broken down, I'm guessing I got some solvent on it while washing the wheels or something

Also pulled the foam air filter and installed stock one while I wash the foam one and popped the intake pipe off and cleaned/sprayed some carby clean down the intake.

No filter mate, just oil drop.
I do however get the filters from service and check it out.
