Just gone thru the standard golf water pump issue with the impeller cracking and not spinning under load. With the car coming to me with no service history, doing the timing belt was always in the back of my mind anyway, so now it and the pump are done. Also discovered the larger radiator fan wasn't working unless the aircon was on, ended up replacing the fans and the shroud as a unit. Now to find the slight vacuum leak...

That looks great, nice work - although the front badge isn't my ting.

Lito also has a minion trying to climb into his sunroof 😂 need a different angle photo to make sense of what I'm talking about.

I took the car to Jimmy at Alba European. Such a great guy, fitted my car in with his packed schedule. He diagnosed a boost leak in the pipe from the charge to the diverter valve.. Doh!

All pipes on the fmic fine with no leaks! Car accelerated better, but something was not right. Felt somewhat rough, I had a stupid whistle (not turbo), and the boost gauge was showing some boost loss through the rev range that I thought was suboptimal.

Anyway I tightened up my spring tension in the diverter valve and omg this car is now officially rapid. I'm experiencing no boost loss, 19-20 psi to redline.

This FMIC install was difficult at times, but I can't believe it's all resolved and the car absolutely hammers.

Still need to reassess how I'm going to trim and fit the under engine plastic bits to protect my timing belt, but I'll get to that.
