    It's been raining in the Sunshine (my arse) state today. The TC in the Polo has been getting a full workout. It spins in 3rd and even 4th at over 100kmh!
    Not sure if I should be pleased or shopping for some tyres???

    Went in fine. Had to source the new elbow (got one easy at Autobarn) and then had to try and find the 75mm long downpipe/joiner to the elbow. Got very, very lucky as we were having no luck finding some anywhere (everything is shut at 2:00 on a Saturday it seems). Dean at Volkwerke came to the rescue with a piece of pipe laying around. It was that very pipe, however, that blew out on the first full boost run (it was the only one we left a stock clip on) so we did it up a whole lot tighter with a real clamp haha. My mate documented the whole affair with his SLR so when he sends me those I'll post them up.
