Over the last several days I have removed the secondary air system and add the resistors and added a 3" turbo back exhaust with a 100 cell high flow cat, WOW what a difference, peaked boost back to good numbers 19s/21s psi., cant wait to run it on the dyno, should be big numbers. Oh have I said how much I love my car.
Cheers
Well done mate.
Did you use the Forge blanking plates or just block off the hoses?
Are you getting dash warning lights from the secondary air system not being there? I understand you have used resistors to make the car think the hardware is there, just wondering what happens when the return air is not available? I'd think the A/F's are way out of whack for the first minute...
Hello noone,
Yes used the forge plate, and I had a code appear after the new exhaust first start. Cleared code and it hasn't appeared since (approx 200km)
The only thing that seems different is more vapor/moisture at start-up out the exhaust.
Try to get to the dyno over the next couple weeks then Ill know more on the a/f's
Interesting, think I'll have to get rid of the secondary air system, I don't like all that stuff hanging off the air system, potentially causing a weak point on the engine...
Edit: never mind.
Wheels on finally
Pics will speak for themselves !!!!!

Landed some honeycomb fog grills from VAG link on special - Welcome to VAGLINK online store
All up came to about $100 (incl. postage). I decided to get the basic ones and take some advice from some of the other members and cut out the holes for SMIC air intake with the dremel. Then grafted the intake/funnel to the grill, which was a bit of messin about but it came out alright in the end. Pretty happy with the look!
