Anyway after a couple of years of wanting one iv finally bit the bullet and bought a mk5 gti.
A few things have changed so i don't have massive amounts of time to complete the my mk2 20vt project to a standard im happy with so im going to have a true cool daily and play as i go.

These are what i currently looks like, private plate comming off as its not mine.
Currently has
turbo back miltek system
autotec uprated fuel pump
neuspeed inducton kit
forge recirculation valve
Revo stage 2
276bhp with 302 torques and it flipping flies allthough anything feels fast after driving a van daily for the past 18 months.
plans are to sort the stance which will probably entail airide and a set of 19's but hope to have it as an ever evolving daily toy!

What do u think to the Neuspeed Induction kit?
Post by: Obese on December 16, 2010, 06:55:10 pm
The miltek is a resonated system so its nice and quiet at all times.
the neuspeed induction kit is nicely made and fits a treat and seems to do the job but couldn't say if it worked better than any of the others as iv not got anything to compare it too.
Im luckey to find the laser blue as it was my first choice, it was the only one out there in my budget and as a bonus it allready had the mods that i would have done allready.
Have a new set of wheels sitting ready and waiting to go on and hopfully going to be looking into an airlift air ride setup, i know its not everyone cup of tea but it will allow me to do what i want with the car :happy2:
Post by: keano on December 16, 2010, 07:26:56 pm
with regards to the p-flo system (again :grin: ) do you get a nice wastegate chatter when u lift off the gas? :evilgrin:

Its a great colour Laser Blue... i wonder why they stopped doing that colour in 2005?
Post by: Obese on December 17, 2010, 10:15:18 am
Not overly keen on all the black trim on the bumpers and skirts so im going to sort that out early spring hopefully!
Post by: matsu on December 17, 2010, 04:20:22 pm
theres a guy lcal to me(old boy) who has his laser blue coded with sunroof and stunning audi splits on it and it looks the dogs- he always flashes his lights as he drives me, cheeky old timer!!
niiiice car mate- subd for the air ride pics

Really i didn't know that its a strange one.

I do, it just looks plain when colour coded or more like an R32. I was told that the reason they stopped doing Laser Blue was because it is a bugger to paint match the rest of the car when bits required fixing / replacing.
Post by: Obese on January 06, 2011, 03:23:53 pm
Where did you get the ultra lows from in the end? Ive been looking but no luck so far
Im in the trade, cant say too much as i don't want to upset any other advertisers :happy2:

Really, its already had a few touch ups but going to get them redone, one of those things you get what you pay for and if your not happy take it back until you are.
Thats also the precise reason ill never own a silver car again as it never quite lays the same and drives me nuts!

Im then going to dismantle the rear backbox and remove the 2 outlets to take a single 3" diesel style tip so it wont really be seen.
Should look quite good, hopefully get some ed30/r32 skirts and colour code them and an ed30 splitter and it should look fairly good.
Its going to get out of hand this one :laugh:

Yes the Blueflame back box is so much better than the Milltek R32 style one, i dont think they spent much time developing it because it is not going to be a big seller. Were as the Blueflame has a tiny back box which makes the design simple. Not sure what the new blueflame one is like, but i spent the day at there old factory and the spent all day getting it just right. My full system might be up for sale in the summer i will give you a pm before posting it up if you like. :happy2:

235 or 225 as im getting some 19" rotiforms too, the stretch looks perfect on your setup
Post by: Obese on May 05, 2011, 11:38:18 pm
not the best for getting the power down but look good for the moment

thanks for that, do you get any sort of rubbing? with the above tyre specs
Post by: Obese on May 07, 2011, 06:24:01 pm
there is no rubbing but thats more down to getting the correct wheel offset to start with
Post by: M44NTU-3.2 on May 07, 2011, 06:35:26 pm
and its prob going be lowered on springs rear 20 fron 30 mm
so do you think i should use 215 35 19 tyres
i dont want to lower too much as my car is used with fam in back, kid and the mrs
thanks!

Wheels Rotiform MIA 19x8.5 et 35 and 45 with 215/35 falkens with lots of tread
Interior, front are rear seats and potentially headlining etc
S3 front brake setup 345mm disc and a perfect upgrade for any mk5 platform car
K04 Turbo conversion, including injectors and any other relevant parts
Blueflame 3" decat downpipe
Forge tfsi catch tank
Thats it for now but im sure there will be more, and its quite easy to see what direction the car is heading :happy2:

Reason being is i just fancy GT30ing an s3 or something simular but if not ill just have to GT30 this :happy2:

some of my favourite seats of all time, i have had a pair before in black from a gt3 rs but couldnt find any for love nor money. I initially intended to retrim these but when i got my hands on them the oem goodness is just too good to get rid of.
will make alot more sense once i have built my half cage and the interior is finished :happy2:

As rear seats go they were a bit of a pain in the arse to get out but not too bad really. a few bolts and belt to get out the way and dont be too scared with them!
You could try and find the interior bits and pieces from the GTI with the biscuit coloured trim??

i also have a set of these wheels, not sure if to run them as a stop gap, and i dont suppose anyone knows what they originate from as i dont know! all i know is that they are 19s et41 i think they are 9'wide and weigh a poop load

Great work :congrats:
How hard was removing the steering wheel?
Also how much was the tb pipe?
Thanks
Mike
Post by: Obese on June 04, 2012, 12:54:22 am
Steering wheel is easy when you know how, just turn the wheel 90degrees each way and i will expose a hole that you just pop the airbag clips off of each side and a big splined bilt and thats about it
bsh throttle pipe was £140 on my doorstep

I've missed the bit that explains about the intake pipe on the right of the engine, nice swept curve into the filter area.
Is it a hybrid between an itg and something else?

Just read your thread from the start, lovely build this. And quite amusing at the same time seeing you change direction with it so much!
Best example of just how good Laser Blue can be I've seen
cheers, I have owned the car over 5 years now and fallen in and out of interest with it, so yes its seen quite a lot of directions but getting older now seems to be the most fun variation yet

Not even a year into my GTI and I'm well lubed up on the slippery mod slope... been reading up on haldex and forged internals, and I must stop!
Post by: Obese on December 26, 2015, 07:31:52 pm
Yh I'm already following u on Instagram mate your ride is truly awesome. The nardo grey cage is stunning and the fact u have done it all urself is truly remarkable
What's your trade ??
ah wicked, I'm still so happy how its turned out, was a little unsure when I started out that it could meet expectations with never building a full cage before just doing a few rear show cages. as for my trade I am a fabricator/mechanic/restorer so I coiuld do anything from a simple service on a car to restoring a citroen hy van to welding up and reparing a horse box. so basically I am pretty versatile

I know that feeling mate, had my last major build for nearly 7 years, kinda drags you through the mill deciding whether to carry on or get rid.
Not even a year into my GTI and I'm well lubed up on the slippery mod slope... been reading up on haldex and forged internals, and I must stop!
yeah 7 years is way too long, I started a mk1 16vt project in my early 20s and got 3.5 years in and who knows how many thousands and had a pile of parts to show so lost interest, find it easier to concentrate on doing one aspect of the car and keeps the car off the road for shorter periods

I like the fact the mk5 is quite nippy with just a remap and the rest of the car handles it. Unless you cook the brakes! (TTRS fronts are priorty...)
