Nialls supercharged GTi6 - project tidy up

[Niall]

So todays update - Not much done.
Ive cancelled mapping for tomorrow now and rescheduled for next month when i will have loads more money. Its getting to the stage now where I'm running out of money and things still need buying so not worth rushing and skimping only to find something go wrong on the dyno. Also gives time for the engine to settle in a bit.
Woke up this morning to rain smashing against the window...and i don't have a garage. In fact, i barely have a drive so this build isn't fun in the rain and wind! Anyway, temporary garage (read gazebo) erected (haha, errect) and away we go..after a tea break. First job of the day was to get the wiring sorted but i couldn't even start that because the chronic wind kept blowing my soldering iron out so its been decided we are doing that tomorrow in grants garage so the first drive on the road will be with bodged wiring. If it makes the 1.5 mile drive hassle free, ill be surprised!
Anyway, next job was to drop the oil and fix the oil leak from the water/oil heat exchanger and whilst i was there, fit the oil cooler.

Tight fit!

[attachment=13349]I would of mounted it centrally but the hoses weren't long enough

At this point, a nice man from parcel force turned up with a huge box which contained this

Very impressed that i was on my door step in less than 24 hours since ordering.

And a pic for those wanting to see the damage to the original charger

After that, nothing really to report. It was just a case of catching up on all the little jobs. Still a long way to go but theres no rush now that its not going for mapping this week so I'm a bit happier.
Now i know what route i am going with all the boost piping, i can order all of that (£80 lighter )And get all that fitted one day next week.
Tomorrow will be its first proper outing to see how well it runs (NA at the moment unfortunately) so that will be a bit nervous...and of course, ill have the go pro on incase it does go bang!
