indeed! can't see this one going anywhere (touch wood) tbh man. Phil.

we've all done it mate, its how we learn. we all do the "twat" thing at some stage, so long as no one was hurt is the main thing, learn from it for future man, and count your blessings! Phil.

good lad! Phil.

damn she is foooooooooooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!!! Phil.

you said it my old friend. its been a long road to this point. Jay kinda summed it up very well yesterday, he asked me a simple question that made me smile, he said: "Do you ever feel that all the work prior to the conversion, all the handling parts etc, were a waste of time??" but he didnt mean it as you may read it for the first time there, what he was meaning was that ALL the work before hand, the braces, the brakes, the harnesses, they were all supporting mods that were leading somewhere, leading to the point of the conversion, so that once the conversion was in, she didnt need supporting mods as they had been in place for years! and I smiled as I realised that he was 100% correct. my aim was to have her sitting prep'd for an FTE long before the FTE was obtained, so that she'd take the new power with no safety issues or handling issues. and the patience of around 5 years of no boost has paid off. in total, it cost me £18.04 to insure her as a conversion for the rest of this policy, now, you cant say fairer than that!!!! 5years of n/a but all the work, all the waiting and building 6yrs protected NCB paid off perfectly as there was no issue of safety, of the car taking the new engine, or of keeping it all legal at all. in the words of Mr Hannibal Smith, "I love it when a plan comes together!". Phil.

sounds like a winner!! Phil.

nah shouldnt be in that case bro. Phil.

had a read through hyper revs there for u Jo, sorry, they are not in it. Phil.

glad to hear you're making headway buddy! hope u get the idle sorted out man! Mark sorted his shitty idle and stalling by only using super unleaded which i'm now using myself. i know urs is a UK spec man, but perhaps where you get your fuel from it isn't the best????????? BP Vs Tesco?? just a thought buddy. Phil.

thanks buddy! Project BadgerSport will exact her vengence on Audi in due course, i'll get the b*stards! I'm sure Jay is open to suggestion dude, they come in silver (mine) and white (Mark's GT), even drop him a PM here or on TGTT, i'm sure he'll get back to ya ASAP man! Phil.

ah good good. was concerned the damn thing had bypassed my AVG! Phil.

i made the mistake of clicking over one of them pics. be warned, it opens a live video feed on your browser! i'm not amused. Phil.

ahhhh my bad, the way rick explained it to me the cams ate your face off for a while, and then the boost sucked your spleen through your spine! Phil.

lag was the whole point of this car lol!!!! lag lag lag lag lag lag lag lag lag lag lag........................lag lag lag lag.....WARP SPEED 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Phil.

PMSL @ joe!!! thats genius! thanks man!!!! 0.25bar to 0.6bar in little over a week, should be fun. also, Jay, it happened again! went for an uphill overtake of a TT, and the BASTARD pulled so i couldnt get past him. we gotta get that boost to like 0.9bar, fuckin Audi TTs are pissing me right of now!!! insolent bastards need to learn their role! Phil.

haha oh yes buddy! Update Ok, the power steering belt was making HORRENDOUS noise and chewing itself to bits and spittin rubber all over my catch can, so this afternoon i set off for an unscheduled trip to Jay's Garage! Mr Jay kindly sorted the belt issue, discoverd and solved a minor oil weep, and discovered the reason for the low boost figure. turns out, when the donor car was front-ended, the little bracket that the actuator moves was bent inwards, and when the actuator tried to move it, it was fouling on the flange!! so, a quick pry with a persuasion bar, and a wideband attached to the car, and she's NOW boosting at 0.5bar, much more positive pull from the car. and the stock actuator is fine, wasn't weak at all, so she's boosting much happier now! the big Blitz gauge - i could not find a pod for that monster, even my local rally guys couldnt come up with anything, so we have resorted to a sexy smaller chrome Blitz boost gauge for now, so it matches the other gauges perfectly! date for my diary - thursday even, WeeJohn's house! Aim: Blitz EBC! Jay has advised that we set the EBC to 0.6bar, and after that (not that night as i have work the next morning!) Jay and I will take her on some runs with the wideband with the aim of setting the boost to 0.85bar, or 0.9bar, same as his auto is set to!!! FUN TIMEZ! Phil.

very nice my amigo!!!! also, the dirt on my car is so bad after only 3 days that i can no longer see the colour of my rear bumper! i feel your pain! Phil.

2 cans of Rockstar for me and Jay Walkers Worchester Sauce crisps Lion Bar Twix Extra £10 of Super unleaded and i may purchase a gauge or two. Phil.

very nice man! Phil.

thanks gentlemen. decals all over the car aint my thing, but the Jays Garage ones, TC Tuning ones and T Developments are worthy of addition. Phil.

awesome nick!!!!! thats a hell of a project to get your teeth sunk into!!!! that's gonna be some serious hands on fun man!!!! really pleased for u! Phil.

oh no it wont lol!!!! it is a garage / shed. roof, walls, no rain, no snow!!!! we already have a garage, this is just to keep the rest dry! Phil.

Baz got a glanza that changed colour many times after the n/a. Phil.

nah, its just the flash, couldnt get a decent picture without the flash because of the shake, was too dark. i'll get some in better natural light. i promise it aint a shop. Phil.

Winter wheels. please excuse the fact that its higher than a tractor, we are in the process of arranging to fix that issue ASAP!!!!! also, two different colours was my idea, so if u dont like it, blame me, not mark. I was trying to get that crazy JDM look goin on. i think it'll look better when she's lowered. nor are they as bright and in-your-face as the flash has made them look, silly flash! Phil
