2k? I had the same itch a while ago, I say go for it. It's not like you have got a load of mods to worry about selling on or loosing loads of money on... R26 are awesome out of the box and a massive step up from your standard spec!

Ktr induction kit needs to go if anyone wants it? £120

Managed to get 30mins at lunch to start pulling the engine out, got shafts out, radiator/ac condenser out, strut brace, ecu, heater matrix pipes, inlet and exhaust unbolted. Will do more tomorrow but progress has been made!

Organised chaos!

Especially as I'm taking the box out - anybody have a secondhand one pleeeeeeeease!!

If it was £500 I'd buy one today but £1100 is a bit out of my budget especially after buying the turbo kit!

Me too, wish I had an LSD!

Haha, went to watch Wolf of Wall Street, mate seriously I'll have a chat to a couple of engineering mates tmoro and see if they are up for a challenge, good guys to have on board for brackets, machining etc. At the mo I'm putting a seat Leon cupra lump into a mk2 golf, finishing off welding...

Tomorrow? :)

Mate I'd love to get my hands on something like that, but it would be a case of doing it bit by bit for a long time!!

Hell of a project!!

What are you thinking of doing Chi?

Okay mate, I'll try!

Not sure on that one mate!?

Making it as reliable as possible mate, I'm not going to forge for the foreseeable future so I may as well, I'm pulling the engine out anyway doing belts, small leak on the cam cover so a few bolts more to take the head off isn't a problem. Just means it can be pushed that little bit harder on...

ED just posted this on Facebook, looks nice

Yeah that's right Ricardos, take off the AEM piggy back setup it's £2250, not bad! It's a nice kit.. Andy@ED is a good chap too, really helpful..

100% it's the best part!! :)

Yeah got to admit Andy has a great rep and his prices are amazing just can't see the sense in having another mechanic doing it, I think he'd agree if it was the other way around!

It was £2250 for the turbo kit minus the management, on top of that I bought a secondhand gen90, mapping is extra too.. I'm fitting it myself which I'll enjoy alot, fixing customers cars is satisfying but playing with my own car is awesome!!

Cheers Andy, no mocking!! :)

Yes mate, fitting the thicker head gasket and running 99ron when mapped so were looking for around 240 but anything over 230 well mapped would be a bonus on low boost.. Lots of happy low boost guys out there!

Oh and this AFR gauge....

May start pulling the engine out tomorrow eve, got a helix paddle clutch coming for my Bday too :)

Got a delivery yesterday with a load of goodies in for me to play with!!! Ordered an engine dynamics turbo kit in November minus the AEM engine management as I wanted to go GEN90, while waiting I sent the ECU up to chris@efiparts and he has out a base map on for me so that I can drive...

It winds it's self in when shredded!

Cheers lads, paddle clutch it is then! Cheapest place to get one?

What clutch would you recommend for low boost Andy?

Yeah that's what got me worried, was starting to feel happy to leave it for now until I read about yours

Clutch wise, have the majority of guys with low boost turbo had any clutch issues with standard? I'm seriously considering changing mine to something a little more heavy duty, not sure if it needs it though??
