Oh hai hamster!

wth you doing here boy!!

car back from the swap?!

sadly no, although the engine and ancilliarues is all fitted in. theres all the custom downpipe and intercooler piping that we dont/didnt have when i dropped the car off as the only way to find out what parts we'd need is to mock the new engine up in the bay first. so all that is being done now.

that, and the fact that the work is being done by a mate of mine, on his restricted driveway after he gets home from work. so no fancy tools or workshop. not even a roof over the car lol

This is going to look so good when its all finished

SICK. Everything you're doing is of super quality and the car is just gorgeous.

I love Bora's and this is no different. Love it since you first built it! Engine swap looks pretty good.

Can I ask why nobody ever does 4x rear 3SDMs? Look so much better than the fronts.

This is going to be siiiiick... Olly does some seriously good work... his mk4 bora was just as sweet!

cheers jorge! appreciate ti man

theres a few guys doing 9.5j's all round. only issue is, with the law. i live in central london and it iaint easy lol 5-0s love me, and they are for ever giving fines and taking my car off the road to have re mot'd cos of wheel/tyres. so ive basically have had enough and from now on only do legal tyre sizes and fitment. else it ruins my daily drive in the local area. i live between 4 police stations, so you can imagine the ducking and diving gets me only so far

This is going to be siiiiick... Olly does some seriously good work... his mk4 bora was just as sweet!

he really is a good lad

[hMd]

so olly got started on a few bits here and there. just waiting for a few more other things to arrive again

im going to copy and paste his words and pics from my other thread over on ukmkivs to here

i'm sure hamz won't mind me addind a few progress pics, it's been a little slower than normal due to me supporting a sidecar cross team at the weekends so i get the odd day and evening in here and there...



out



modifying mounts to fit the TFSI









wrinkled





audi tt box on



slight mod to transfer bracket



close



perched



first look at turbo exit and sizing up downpipe route....



now after i sold my bora and been working on a lot more TFSI cars doing turbo conversions etc i had a little idea

PD150 front panel off a mk4 diesel



Rad pack



THS S3 TFSI FMIC (revo edition)



mounted PD a/c rad and trimmed mounts



mounted and trial fit bumper



(check out the stone chips!!)



bracket to relocate hard pipe and make it possible to use TFSI silicon FMIC pipe





now the bit that has had me a little concerned after Qpeng reported problems fabing a DP, once the lump was in i refitted the
subframe so i could see what sort of piping would be needed to fab a 3" DP run

3 x 90* 76mm

1 x 45* 76mm

1 x K04 flange

1 x 4" long 76mm flexi joint

2 x stainless lambda bosses

parts arrived friday so set about mocking up a route, trimmed the 90* down to the correct lengths, rotated to the correct angles,
marked and taped to test fit







once i was happy with the run, spot welded it and tried again







and looks like this









welded it up, need to add in the lambda bosses, add 3" on the bottom then fit the 76mm V band connector thats has been ordered, once thats on make a small section with the flexi on to join to the centre section.
