Retro:
Nice!

Tabs:
Thanks!

Here's the most recent update I've made:

You may have noted a picture somewhere else ;)
 
Update time! Turbo is on, quite an easy install with the Beachbuggy adaptor plate and the fact we managed top pick up a turbo which still has all the stock K04 oil and water lines still connected :D
 

 
You can see the stock K03 and TFSi K04 oil return pipes in situ. Plan is to do something similar to what Prawny did and splice the two together to make a custom pipe which clears the drive shaft.
 

 
The stock K04 oil feed pipe runs to the other side of the turbo so I was thinking of running a custom braided pipe similar to the stock K03. But! Step in Beachbuggy who suggests running a stock Passat  B5.5 K03 oil line (06B 145 771 F), which terminates in the correct position. Though it'll need an adaptor to replace the Banjo connection - Prawn any details on that as you're running the Passat oi line by the looks of it? :)
 

 
The water lines are a lot more straight forward. The inlet mates up perfectly with the banjo on the back of the block and the return just needs trimming to mate up to the plastic Y connector that sits close to the fuel rail (not shown here).
 

 

 

 
So, all in all a pretty easy bolt on as things go.
 
Planning to spray up the alternator tonight then I can can finally finish off the front of the block before bolting on the RMR Inlet Manifold.

Engine and box are now joined at the hip :D
 

 

 

 

 

 
Loom next....

Tabs:
Finished the oil return line yesterday. Original plan was add a new section of hose and try to recreate the factory style crimps but after hack sawing the sleeves off I realised the length of pipe on the K03 oil return line was the perfect length and just needed securing on to the K04 oil outlet.

eh voila!



The line itself isn't under pressure and just acts a gravity feed into the sump so all good with this solution.

With that complete I moved onto the mounting Inlet Manifold. Seems like an age has passed since fannying about polishing it up. Also took the opportunity to fit the Beach Bugy Turbo's supplied 630cc Bosh injectors for the first time. nice tight fit but they may need some injector grease adding to seal.

Anyway, pr0n time :D















Next on the to do list: Remove Milltek Downpipe and Sports Cat, swap Shifter tower and linkage to 6 Speed version, start picking through the loom and begin profiling the fuel and vac lines - aeroquip style ;)
