I had written a huge post explaining all the procedure of today's 12hr work on my day off from work, give or take.
And then google chrome decided to crash, maybe because of it new logo, I dont know.
So here are just the pics, without words, sorry for that.
[Lucky I did not break my laptop, LoL]
Weapons
Start dissasembly
A-Pillars removed
Time for the tricky part - boring as well - column stuff off to give clearance.
Out it went
Pile of parts
Started putting things back
Driver lower dash
Looking good
Dirty parts
Got cleaned and dressed
Defi controller installed
GLovebox installed
Started tackling the center console which is not so fun
Been some time since i removed these parts and hardly remembered what went where, but got there
Then I had to leave the camera down, as I was losing daylight and put more work
Put everything back an hour ago, some details left, and then a proper photoshoot hopefully. This came out even better from what I had imagined.
And if you see it live, it is really something else, I tell you.
More to come
Regards Mike

Totally awesome!!!! Very nice work!
So I have been very busy with work, but i think I found some time to update this . Sorry for the iphone photos mostly but will do the work for now.
Got these two remaining parts from the trim shop
Threw them on
Then, we go back to my exhaust theme on the golf.
Remember I had installed a new muffler, more OEM+ style some months ago? Well days after that, I re-installed my JDM one, and left that one there.
What is more, I sold the other muffler, almost like new, it got sold instantly over at ebay.
So now, after installing back my interior, I thought- once more, I want the same muffler back on my car, and ditch the JDM which catches the wrong attention too much. After all, I can hear the external wastegate pipe scream whenever I wish.
So, some pics of the process, which might look familiar.
Car went up on the ramp
Exhaust came out
Started test-fitting
Test fitting the pipes.
Again went for the OEM E30 style pipes, just a tad bigger
I had some company with me while i was there
Final product
Very pleased with the result.
More to come, and maybe some new orders
Cheers
Mike

So ordered some nice stuff from the stealership
OEM Audi TT-RS LPFP
The new rubber grommet, shows the hp this pump is capable of, LoL
Got to work to install this beauty
Entered the car via the trunk LoL
Found my way inside
Kinda filthy
OCD kicked in
Access
Side by side
Modified the sender bracket
Installed new rubber grommet (not needed to be honest but i did)
Installed
Then closed everything and moved to the engine bay
Installed and connected the N75 to raise up the boost - car was running on mechanical spring boost so far (20psi).
Then we went for a custom tune from Tom and some tests
There he is making a new file for another run
40psi brings happiness to my face
Cheers more to come
