UPDATE:

5th January 2008

Today we start off with the missus car... for whom I brought some 40mm lowering springs for christmas to stop it looking like a 4x4

Before





During



Mmmm Much shorter!





And fitted



From this



To



And this



To



And finally this



To




Much better



And one happy girlfriend



Next a few more Bora pics... Its been running but soon had to come apart again for more work



3" Straight through exhaust





With subtle silencer



And just to remind you the size of the Turbo



And onto the Fabia





Time for an Oil Change and Gauge fitting



No point getting my hands dirty



Pressure Sensor for SPA boost gauge fitted



Just to prove I still have it I did fire her up to clean the cobwebs out... More work on her soon.... I promise!





Anyway.. back to the Fabia

Gauge Holder needed sanding for gauge to fit









Girlfriends are great



SPA control button (RED) mounted at top behind Fuse cover



And all fitted







I now have Oil Temp & Boost pressure (Oil Temp sensor is in Sump Plug)

UPDATE:

7th Jan 2008

Just a small one. It was -5 degrees outside last night but armed with this



I braved the cold and set about finishing the wiring on my new SPA Gauge.

First off I had to drill through the Bulkhead again for the Wires



Then feed the wires through



And connect up to the Oil Temp sensor in the Sump Plug



And the boost pressure sensor in the EGR Valve blanking pipe. 2.5 Hours that took!!! Lol, all done now though

Time for an update on another car... Dan's RX7 which you might remember from earlier on in this thread. Well during the Winter he's having the Engine rebuilt for 500bhp (it was running 430). Here's some pics from last weeks engine removal and strip









Incase you were wondering... This is what a Rotary Engine looks like











And finally pics of another Engine he's building but more on this soon...

As soon as i've saved enough Penny's.... Hopefully in the next week or two.

Rear ARB on a Fabia is THE single most best Mod i've ever done!!! Totally transforms the car!!! Can't rate it highly enough mate

Sounds good! Defo worth him buying one IMO.

The Turbo can flow enough air for "upto" 225bhp. So im expecting 210-220. With 330-360lbs/ft Torque hopefully

Do Tell


Do you know how you put it on?

Put mine on in the Ibiza by unplugging the "airbag off" light and turning the ignition on.

I got rid of mine by buying a VAGCOM cable on ebay, downloading the trail version from ross-tech's website.

Then plugged it all in, showed fault codes, cleared DTC's and disconnected.

Magic, all gone

Cost me £7, about 15 minutes of time and there chance to register VAGCOM is there because you always have the cable

If you were closer I'd pop round and do it for you

Fabia's, Golf's, Bora's, Seat's I thought this was a vauxhall club not a VAG club

Cheers Pow I'll give that a go. No not sure how I put it on... Could be from removing the glovebox I think...

Paul, Yes I know... Its turning into a VAG thread

The water seals went in the RX7 Engine. Hence a good excuse to rebuild for more power... I think its getting a "Bridge Port" or something like that if anyone speaks Wankel

Anyway time for some more VAG pics just for Paul Cleaned my Fabia and Mrs Golf today so heres some pics because they won't stay clean for long.
