I have two options for the wire air line set ups.






Both options have there good & bad under may be very tight if I get the pancake airtank but can stil be done.
Behind may be a little messy but you wont see it from the front.

Stu if I wasnt 3 hrs away I would of already hit you up!

It had to be done GoLfman !!

Im chasing up a couple of pancake air tanks, prices are all over the place..and postage is stupid !

Its raining today so work on car


Big chunk of aluminium for a nice straight cut.



SO if it happens the pancake tank will fit in the wheel well.

[thestu]

Those tanks are awesome! Definitely something I haven't seen before. Good work for trying something new. Now watch lots of people copy you trying to be original and different.

Thanks mate,I'm happy as with the way its turned out... NEVER again thoe HA.
And Yes is very hard to be unique these days people will copy but I think alot will fail

Loving your work dude! I love the square tanks!

I've been running my 8 gallon (30lt) tank with the air lifts amand I go all down and then all up to 80psi and the tank is already down to 110 psi and the compressors kick off again! Are you going to run another tank too?

Thanks Stu, Exactly what I needed to hear,I Will be ordering the Wheel well (pancake) tank once I get home,
The american Dollar is Sooo good atm !

I was worried about the compressors coming on all the time and I knew I had bugger all air capacity this should help.
so all up ill have around 29ltrs.

Head gasket is a pretty big job, really not worth doing for the small gain if you aren't already in there doing stuff.

But I'm sure you can get them from like any of the normal parts sites, like ecs, gap, ect. MJM autohaus do a full kit of gaskets and stuff which comes with the mk4 HG.

Loving the tanks though! Good work!

Once I read "pretty big job" I thought.. ok forget it..Im just over working on the car plus its getting busy with work.
I Have to knuckel down and get this car on Air now.

The Tanks in the holders were once more tested with 151psi over night just to be 100% sure.

Top shots man !!
Every time I look at it, I see more an more detail !
As for ur engine problem, maybe it's time for a quick refresh !
Put new gaskets clean out the intake, throttle body wipe any grime an soot off the piston heads, chamber heads, ports etc
Put new filters alround + new oil. After all shiit u'll be shootin 110killer wasps hopefully
Actually put a mk4 metal head gasket, it's suppose to give another 5-8kw !
An that coolant bottle's lookin sad in corner there ! Your doin all this work at the back, might as well do something at the front. Shiny inlet mani & new coolant bottle ?
Complete package FTW !!!

Thanks Mate.
Its all about the Quality!

I have planned to give the car a full service with new coolant
G12 Plus Plus

new oil & filter,new plugs & leads.
Very true I should get a new Gasket where can I get a Mk4 metal Gasket link please.

Thanks for the tips Rd Runrr Im always open to them

check all vacuum hoses and check coil pack see if its sparking

Ok will do, cheers Dark.

Crazy!!!!!!!

With the air tanks though, how's the compression testing going? I always thought air tanks were meant to be cylindrical as there were less weak spots (edges?) in it compared with others.

Your spot on Ray, Air tanks ideally should be Round Cylindrical, Theres almost no weak points.
I was looking at hundreds of boot installs to get ideas when I thought to my self almost No ones done Square tanks for the obvious reasons,So I thought lets give it a go.

You wouldnt go much larger then my tanks as im sure they would bulge

If you look on page 11 you can see the Air tanks were all pressure tested
