Finished fitting the FTG K04-001 turbo. 15kms around the suburbs and no leaks. Also drove fine in 4th gear at 50kph. Was a little concerned it may be too laggy.

Fitted a whiteline FARB. Its a big job. Glad I was doing it with a mate as an extra pair of hands came in handy a few times. Its a bit of a rubics cube under there actually. I can see now how the subframes are vulnerable to movement. Just the two undersize bolts handling the wishbone forces but also all the longitudinal engine movement banging straight into the crossmember bolted between the two sub frames. Got pretty late towards the end so when the eddy eccentric sleeves didn't just slide straight in it was put back together as before. Will have to get under there again at a later date with a ream to fit them up. Havent given the car a real drive on the new bar yet but have to say that in terms of NVH at pedestrian speeds, there is no real difference to a stock bar for me so happy with that aspect so far.
Finally got around to getting some wheels

Yesterday I went to change the coolant temp sensor as it had thrown 2 faults. Managed to drop the C-clip into the engine bay, and after 45mins looking I had to give up. Made a temporary one from a coathanger, and today went and got a replacement. Whilst I had the intake off yesterday I did the "flap" mod; at least it wasn't a complete waste of time!

Unfortunately, mine's getting voted off the island.
