WA Mk4 .:R32 Project

[glf455]

Reading from page 1 to 8 I could feel my excitement spool up..... Kind of like that turbo will! (lamest joke but I had to say it)

[GoLfMan]

hell to the yeh. Another R32 turbo. Too much win, far too much

[WhO]

Teaser....

Exact same manifold i'm running!

Dont forget with your manifold to get a bung welded in each bank preferably as far apart as possible (i went with cylinders 1 and 6). Reason being i'm pretty sure the R32 like the Bora runs dual bank 02 and depending on the tune you get if you dont have your 02 sensors in the right spots you can cause one bank to run excessively lean!

Liking the look of this! Boost is addictive

Depending on which software you go, you can have one sensor in the downpipe and have the software reading just the one sensor pre-cat. I will go this route rather than drilling and tapping my manifold. No progress as yet still waiting on more parts before i start tearing the thing apart.

So heres the low down, im still waiting on parts from some people, ie, intake (HPA has had diffculties with their factory supply, didn't have the right fuel rail in stock), waiting on some bits from c2 like fasteners and bottom end gear and some fueling gear from 034(some bits on back order at ecstuning too) i shall then have some more things to post about, and i will begin the tear down when it all arrives.

I have had a change of mind in regards to the software i am going to run United Motorsports flex fuel flash with launch control.
Mean while im coming up on 97000kms, I'm going to redo my swaybar bushings, redo the control arms front and rear including all the tie rods and endlinks when the refresh kit arrives also. The whole things needs a major clean.. New maf, 4" housing, new tensioners and chain guides, aux waterpump, 4Bar fpr, oil catch can and themostatic cooler, new fuel pump and a full service.

Hopefully all my shizz rocks up soon so i can get on with it, I'm a little impatient myself at this point. So much so i went and pulled out my rear speakers. I have a set of focal polyglass 30th anniversary 6.5" splits to replace my fronts and small focal solid 4 400W amp to run them, as well as a focal 21v2, 8 1/4" 250W sub, im going to install. Im ripping out my double din VW headunit and putting in a McIntosh Labs mx-406s head unit and a pocket for my phone and junk. Im going more for hifi rather than SPL i just want a clear unmolested sound from source, and some thing thats easy to plug a portable source into!

Just ordered Unibrace, and will modify it to support two extinguishers my relocated battery the amp and a water tank. Thats all i can think of right now but yeah its a lot to remember.



This is what a destroyed tyre looks like, got camber?



New Control arm ends, to replace my worn sloppy ones, these one have a teflon inlay, and I think I've figured out a dust boot solution.



Imagine battery gone from stock location that water to air core in its place with the SRI attached.
Modified stock airbox to accomodate 4" MAF housing and a fibreglass intake tract to the front passenger grill.


NOT like this for example!




Don't worry, its not fitted, just needed to replace my parking lights, just thought id make sure it'll fit without chopping up the bumper.
It will, just gotta make the bracket, and then i can mout it straight and the correct way up.




Badass Brigade! .:R32 //RS5 //S5 oh and the not so badass end of 1.9TDI DSG

My father in law's Porsche Track Special
