306 XRDT - Target 180 Bhp

[londondan86]

I've been meaning to start a project thread for ages now but just havnt found the time. But seeing as she now owes me another 500 quid I thought i might as well document what's going on!
My target is 180bhp, i'm not planning to be a record breaker like some others on the forum so my target should be achievable with the mods so far + bigger bine when i can afford it. Once I get all this stuff on I'll get her on the rollers to see what the old girl is making! Hopefully around the 140-150 mark based on others with similar set-up.

Set-up so far:
11mm bosh pump
T2 @ 24 psi (will be upped to 30 with the fmic)
Slight LDA mods
Straight through SS twin exit exhaust
Lowered 40mm on coileys at the front 60mm at the back

Some history....lol How she looked when i got her, march '08




And more recent although the HID's are gone.






Parts to go on:



2x Bottom arms with bushes
2x ARB Drop link
2x Track rod end
2x CV Boot gaiter
2x Gti6 Front Hubs with new bearings
Gti6 283mm front brakes
Gti6 Rear beam (thanks Ohara)
New Radator
Slimline fan
FMIC

Still to get
Xantia/406 manifold (send me a pm if you have one reasonable price)
Bigger turbo, not sure which way to go with this yet and cash is now VERY tight.


I'm going to try and make a start this week probably tomorow afternoon so i will update with pics as often as i can

Any comments, thoughts or opinions welcome
