82 Cabriolet S3 TFSI TSR conversion (wide arched)

How is it driving, must be a rocket, what power and torque is it putting out?

Have you any good photos of the throttle body to intercooler pipe?

I went in the car a few weeks ago and it put a big smile on my face

It is pretty nippy mate    Haven't had it on the rollers yet so don't know on an exact figure. I'd guess that it's about 280 but don't quote me on that.
  Next on the list is a diff to try and get the power down a bit better.
  Will try and get you a photo next time i'm down at the garage

Sorted the fuel leak out Mike, it was the fuel sender seal. Quick fix which i was happy about  

hi Excellent workmanship. if i may ask why did you not install the Polo 6n2 dash?? im currently busy with an installation.

love this cabby, you have done some amazing work my friend.  

really liking the new daily as well. wish my new mk1 daily was as clean as yours  

Thanks for the comments guys ! Appreciated 

I didn't go with the 6n2 dash as I would have needed to remove the knee bar which would have lost the strength of the chassis. With the TFSI up front I needed it in place. 

The new daily has turned into the new project now browner

haha i know what you mean, there is never such thing as "just a daily" haha

@beany1234 Sorry buddy, i've only just seen your post   Cheers buddy ! where are you ?

Bit of a while since updating  but have had a bit done to the car in the past few months. It started off in January by getting the rust in the scuttle patched up and getting it painted after the brake fluid had been seeping into it.

It then got polished with the rotary and sealed using chemical guys jet seal
and then it went down to TSR to have the quaiffe diff fitted and sachs stronger clutch. Haven't really had any time to go out in it as the wheels are currently getting refurbed and having some radinox lips fitted to the rear to go 8.5j.
  I didn't have the vent's connected to the screen so kept on misting up. I had to put the connector back in which meant the stereo didn't fit where the ashtray was fitted so had to rework where the clusters are.
 I managed to get the catch can fitted as well but it filled up pretty quickly so I need to keep my eye on it !!
On Wednesday this week I got this through the post which I was pretty shocked about  I wasn't expecting to get accepted all be it on Saturday night and outside 
  The car was supposed to get re-mapped when it went down for the diff but they didn't get round to doing it ! It's going back down in April for a stage 2+ map which should be interesting  Hoping to get it sorted before spring fest so i can get it down the strip.

Nice work, how fast was the catch can filling up?

within about 300 miles  

That's very quick alright, what size is it? Was it oil or moisture or both?

It was mainly moisture but had a little bit of oil in there too. Think it can hold about 300ml before it has to be emptied.

Just looking and think that i've installed the can upside down doh…..  

The dash looks fantastic mate, love it!!
