yeh but it seems thats how his mrs wants it. dont make excuses for things on the car you know are ugly. if you didnt like those tailights you would of binned them when you got the car. not say thats how the car came and continue on. the car does have potential. but a few things need to go.
wasn't seling just seeing what i could get for it...
Hey all,
Well i have finally got some new things for her and waiting for them to arrive...
I got a stage 3 forward facing plenum, a greddy full auto timer, malpassi rising rate fuel reg, and a air/fuel ratio gauge.
and im sending of my ecu first thing monday morning to get nistuned put in
Hey all again
Just installed my new turbo timer, its not staying where it is just gotta configure it and then i will mount properly.... heres some pics...
anyways i got the nistune in and running quite good with a couple of adjustments and saved to the ecu started to see what it was like and overall not bad....
Going to ring up some dyno tunners in the morning and see what prices i get quoted...then take it to the cheapest one and get it tuned properly then will be all sweet...
Well my malpassi rising rate fuel reg came today, so this is now installed, so i wont be leaning out to much on boost!
I got some pics, so here they are!!!
i will get another photo mate, it aint to bad...well i will be tidying everything up when i get of my arse and pick this A8 up, also got to paint the project car while the weather is still good.
yeah the plenum looks the cootes, thats why i brought it lol
well just rang up howe auto in daylesford, cost about 800 to 1000 for a dyno tune.
but he said if i can get it pretty close, and have a budget to work too. they will do it until the budget is reached and stop.

Hey bloke, how did you get a tune for 75???
rang them up today and he said 99 an hour for dyno time....about 3 hours he said so 300 roughly to get a tune
Hey all well i have put a forward facing plenum on with a xf throttle body heres some pics
also going to change cooler piping when i drop the a8 in as i pick that up 2moz
This is my $12 heat shield i have made
Well went and did some work on my engine today heres some pics
If anyone wants these parts of the engine let me know
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
That plenum looks nothing like the one you posted before.
Why did you run the plenum side piping back to turbo side instead of going straight down near the battery?
Yeah coz this plenum i just brought coz there still making my polished one. i will get that in next couple of weeks
and i only had it there to test out the plenum, it now has the stock plenum back on it.
didnt want to cut up my cooler piping and then couldn't put it back to stock plenum again....Lucky i didn't coz the car ran like **** with that plenum on and was jerking and ****.
i'm just going to leave the stock plenum on it for now until i get my polished one and will through the A8 motor in and put the forward facing plenum on at the same time
