Little Red Devil

Hey mate, yep plenty but at the mercy of the turbo God at the moment. Story goes the final stage of getting the new bigger rear housing went pear shaped when the jig came loose in the CNC machine. And after that my one of a kind hybrid took a bit of a back seat due to some large paying customer orders and the boys from Billet going OS for business. Mark said to confirm with him again this Friday.

So in the mean time I'm concentrating on the suspension set up and alignment. New bits arriving this week for that plus the three under braces from UR.

Engine bay dress up coming along nicely too. And will try to get around to installing the new head unit as well.

Trying very hard to keep up with you bro!

So new turbo and tune by December 15?

Mate I seriously hope so!! It's been more than 6 months in the making so better be faarrrking quick Can't wait to tear that TT drive a new one at happy laps. No one gets past the Devil....... except Tarmac of course lol.

Haha here I was thinking I was keeping up with you! Nothing like a bit of mutual motivation I guess

Can't wait to tear that TT drive a new one at happy laps.

Haha that's funny; That's probably one of the motivations that made me consider the GT2860R recently... On the corners it might be a different story but I had absolutely no top end to keep up with the thing on the straight. Can't wait mate

[VWindahouse]

Doesn't matter where you get the motivation from as long as it's motivating

Anyway new bits!!

Those drop links look tuff, nicer than the whiteline ones I had a while back that froze up with a little grit.

[VWindahouse]

Yeah pretty solid to hold put still relatively light weight!

What's wrong with this picture?? Shiny new actuator from Forge but no turbo


It's loaded with a yellow spring to match the upcoming boost levels!

And the engine bling I mentioned earlier. Out with the old.....











Trial fit the 3" MAF housing. Just trimmed the inside of the existing Forge TIP.


Hopefully I can do the same with the turbo end as the turbo inlet has gone from a 45mm diameter to 50mm.

Also took out the old head unit to make way for the new one. All wired up and working but having the same issue as Sam. Trimmed off the guides on the side but she still sits proud On a positive note I managed to feed the USB and Ipod cables through to under the steering column which give easy access and can't be seen from outside the car. You can just see the cables on the right of the photo



Not sure yet if I like the position of the GPS antenna



The rear also got a bit more Devilish

So you're not going a huge, bird eating turbo with external wastegate, damn lol

[VWindahouse]

lol want to see if I can bend a rod with the one coming so I have an excuse to stroke the little bugger and go a truck turbo sticking out of the bonnet

Go compound - then you can get some real boost happening
