Spent a bit of time yesterday replacing the intercooler/turbo pipes. Still need to buy a reducer for straight off the turbo, but it’s looking much tidier.

Also fitted a set of forged wishbones in place of the pressed ones.

Plan to paint the rocker cover next and polish up the manifold cover.
I love this, this is the only thread I've seen anywhere on an attempt to turbo an FSI engine

. I'd love to try the same on my golf
 
If you do decide to go down this route then please run it at manifold pressure to avoid damage.

I was planning on lowering the compression actually. Also, the 1.4 twincharger uses the same ECU so I was wondering if I could get away with using the stock ECU. How did you manage the engine?
 
It managed to run up to about 4psi on the pro Boost ECU I had fitted, but as I say it ended in terminal damage to the engine so its not advised.

I'll keep that in mind, looks like it will take me a while to do this properly but I hope to show you when it is done :)
