alright im bored so ill do a proper update.
as some of you may know i have had this nugget boosted before, but got over it + a few other reasons, so i took it all off and went back n/a which is all im legally allowed to have. slammed it back on 19s and cruised it for a while. got bored with it and started buying bits and peices of a turbo setup again.
sorta got a bit out of hand, i ended up buying just a standard t3 setup with the internal gate welded shut, so i got a external gate and had it welded to the standard manifold, planning on just doing another high comp setup i had already started putting it together when on a visit to a mates house i purchased a cometic head gasket, this would bring the motor down to stock a8 compression.
then not knowing really what i was gonna do i was offered a cpc plenum and 80mm billet tb for a price i could not refuse. so everything started to sorta come together and i just slapped it all together with what i had up to this point
so basically its just an a6, with stock t3 and manifold, external; gate, cpc plenum, 80mm billet tb, hidden cooler, home made piping , standard injectors and computer.
now for some random pics of it as it all came together
and the finished product:
still obviously not done theres heaps of stuff to do. a while ago just as an experiment i resprayed the passanger side strut tower to see if it would come out any good. which it did so one day ill smooth and paint the bay myself.
next to come is a built box, microtech, then eventually bigger turbo, injectors, billet fuel rail etc etc etc. all money permitting ofcourse
