Looks ace, i actually really like the spare in that method.

You need to get it tuned so you can bring it to happy laps in February!

Normally a bit more noise as well, panels obviously a lot less noise than an open cone .....

Be interested to hear how this one goes. Given that you're running at stage 0 tune at the moment probably not a big performance gain I imagine.

What is the size of the stock Amarok intercooler? Is it a 32mm unit?

Yeah stock unit is the 32mm one.

This won't go on till after the tune. Only preparing for Stg 2 after. Exhaust and R FMIC upgrade to go on as soon as stg 1 tune done and sorted .....

Obviously with a Stg 2 tune to go with it ......

I'm really interested to hear your result with the intercooler. If it's anything like mine it will make a massive difference to a stage 2 car to go from the 32mm core to something more substantial. I suspect the 32mm core causes a reasonable restriction to the air flow and removing this restriction frees things up and you essentially get "free" power

Gotta love that

Yeah! I would not surprise about intercooler size considering VW only intend to produce 118 kW from the engine originally. I am not sure how much power jump these will have once tuned haha! could be the largest power jump we have ever seen from a stock car

It is shame these TSI versions don't come with 4x4 with DSG. If it is could have been one hell of an Ute

Also being manual and going for K04 could that be a issue with the clutch? I can see you have to explore many new frontiers during this build
