Lito's MK4 GTI

[Lito]

had a good look at the 034 motorsports site last night, i can see myself spending ALOT of money there haha. ordered a phenolic intake space, a heat shield for the coilpacks and some track density strut top mounts... hopefully these will last longer than 2 years

My eyes are older than yours mate..... It's the same booster, I know it'll fit.

haha.....well i actually "fixed" it, ghetto style. i sewed the two 'halves together, pricked myself a few times along the way. but i think it worked because i now have an extra inch in vacuum and the pedal no longer goes stiff as soon as i shut the car down.... probably should replace it though, i don't know the load rating of the thread

Proper base file now loaded to the Golf, I reckon it goes well. I'll let Lito tell the tale with more words. Turns out what we thought to be an oil leak off the oil drain, is in fact a water leak off the coolant drain.

Really smooth driving in traffic, still picks up better than a standard GTI when off boost.

A bit hard to get to but small enough to not be worry immediately.

good to meet you too mate, looking forward to seeing your built motor next time i'm back if you're around. props to you and gav for getting more done in a few day then some people get done in a few months (me!) sounds awesome and bet it moves too, just want to get mine sorted but getting more and more determined as other get theres up to scratch (you!)
