Just bought a nice condition A3 1.8T MY99

Was it the diff rivets that gave up?

I ordered the PLCC and PSOP adaptors for my programmer this morning. I need these for other cars so why the hell not.

I'm Trying to find a dump pipe at the moment for a reasonable outlay. There are the name brands but postage to Aus is a killer I'm still waiting on some suppliers though. I would prefer Milltek or similar. The other option is to use one of the catless Ebay dumps and then add the cat in later I can pick one of these up very cheap
..... less than $240 delivered
I have a couple of highflow metal cats spare that would be overkill for this. I just have to weld one on if there is sufficient clearance

i'm looking at upgrading my down pipe to 3", let us know if you have issues with clearance, apparently lhd are little different to rhd because of the brake booster, unless these are from uk?

Will do, I'm almost excpecting problems with this one however there are some vendors in the UK selling this one so fingers crossed. The worst case scenario is that it gets used as a template for something else
I've sort of moved the rest of the thread over here
http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/show...-1.8T-makeover into the projects section where it probably belongs even though its not a full on project like most of them
