Good to hear Gav, you will be so torn between that and the Audi, getting a bit like me and becoming a conservationist

It can be more fun that way, especially since you're not allowed to do proper timed run in the happy laps.Originally posted by h100vw View PostI don't reckon I'll go for laps in it on wobbly standard shocks and springs.Resident grumpy old fart

Refitted the Alpine DVD head unit just now, PO had it removed when he thought the car was a goner.... Sounds better than the VW one!
My shifts let me do loads Sean.
Just about to do a different dog bone on the S3. I bought a green and yellow one off Tim ages ago. Nit been able to do the bolt up in the middle. Sorted it yesterday though, used the rear towing eye of the Polo as a press.
Worked a treat.

nice little project and enjoying reading the thread mate, i didn't know you knew how to use a camera?
i'm sad and like all the little updates like SAI 249 delete, belt and gearbox oil change so keep them coming. i think you're on the right track, get it maintained and looking sweet then i know you'll be bored and start 'tweaking'
PS i've pm'd you a link for inspiration

The link didn't work.
I am not allowed to start tweaking "officially" although I have bought some springs and might look at a downpipe.
Usually don't take pictures because my hands are minging with oil and stuff.

It came with an AMD one click flash loader, but after the turbo was found dead, I was suspicious that it may have been responsible. So at the weekend I flashed my spare Polo ECU with Phase 1 and fitted that. Much smoother delivery but I need to log it yet.Originally posted by Water Boy View PostFlashed it yet?
The intake temps were tremendous on the AMD tune but just watching them today with torque on my mobile, it highlighted just how piss weak the standard sidemount is. With 30 degrees ambient, I saw a peak of 65 after one good pull on the motorway. This took about 4 km to come back down again.
Hardly intercooling at all!
Gavin
