Okay small update on how i went with the Inlet last night. Spent around 3 hours on it so far still needs the last two ports opening up a little more then need to polish all of them and get rid of the heavy marks.

I used my engineering background to perfect the shape of the holes... stencil time! I mocked up against the head and the head ports were 2mm smaller in all aspects than the gasket so i used that rule of thumb...

First two before finishing heavy cutting

The finish from the heavy cutting tool. (Use morrisflex counter sinking bits as thats all i can get on my hands on this week...)

Thats all.

Not alots been happening my inlet isn't finished yet as I'm waiting on some bits for my die-grinder as the bits i were using are for Steel/Titanium and were clogging up within seconds.

But in good news had my windscreen fitted... its a 6n2 screen so i can run the plastic 6n2 roof strips without the horrid window gap.

£120 fitted for a brand new screen which i thought was reasonable!

For anyone who has a 6n2 screen fitted to a 6n bear in mind they are slightly wider!!! Make sure the window fitter presses the glass below the door line as mine catches slightly in the top corner but a quick go over with a bit of P80 paper and polished back up it was fine.

No updates as such as I'm waiting on some gaskets for the inlet and TB from TPS turning up.

But i have treated myself this week... rather exspensively too!

Ordered... a STACK Boost Gauge, STACK AFR Gauge and a STACK Oil Pressure gauge that came to around £460! Shit me.

also bought some rare little gems in the form of Hoffel Headlights from Nigel on here...living legend proper sorted me out wanted a set since i was born.

Will get a decent update up next week and hoping to have it fired by the end of next week too!

Bloody hell that's expensive! haha

Looking forward to seeing the updates man, car is almost there! Loving the colour too :)

Guess i should update this to keep the thread alive. Not done alot or anything much on this recently just been buying more bits like a Forge Intercooler but no pictures of it =/

Heres a couple of pictures for your pleasure.

After porting my inlet manifold the paint was pretty beat up so decided to flat it out prime it up and paint it the same purple as my roof and bay.

3rd coat of paint (still wet)

I'd also been after a set of these for years and they weren't actually for sale but i managed to twist his arm (Thanks Nigel!)

These will be painted the same purple as the rest of my gear.

Then i bought this last week (i think) for a really good price. Its abit old its used but it still works a treat! Since the pictures I've took it too work and put it through our parts washer and painted satin black.

Forge Intercooler for mk4 golf gti 1.8t, aslo got a load of pipework but my god its cheap shit.
