Westy Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) How much to chrome it then Rob!? Put everything back in this morning as I'm working this afternoon! Anyone for some Gold!? Had one victim as one of the vac pipes split refitting it! PITA! But luckily a had some hose that will do the trick until I can buy a new one: Edited October 12, 2013 by Westy (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Just seen this on instagram Mark, looks amazing nice work Atleast that hose broke totally and not just leaked otherwise you might have been looking for the leak for ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 This is true I suppose! Cheers buddy. It's actually quite subtle against the 1A1 so very happy with the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Anyone know the part number for the above vac hose please!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Turism0 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 could probably find it for you where was it from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Number 2 in this pic mate: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Turism0 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I believe it's this one highlighted mate looks like the same hose is used in other parts of the vac system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 I think the highlighted one is number 5 on my pic mate. The one I'm after is the small kinked hose...possibly 23829-46060!? Looks straight in your diagram though!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I feel a bit guilty as I haven't kept up with the thread. May spend some time having a look. The pics on page 7 (40 posts a page) show the underneath, it looks spotless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clay Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 WOW..... I have just been through the hole thread. Your car is stunning. But dosont the yellow cable coming from the battery drive you mad. LOL. OCD put some black heat shrink over it so you don't notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Had a heart dropping moment last night when I hit 4k rpm on my way to work...no second turbo kicking in at all! At first I thought it must be down to that bit of hose I used for my split vac pipe but once I had finished work a quick inspection showed that on of the VSV pipes had popped off (probably whilst removing other pipe work). Thankfully this sorted it and the second turbo came back online! Phew! Edited October 13, 2013 by Westy (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Had a spare set of OEM seats lying around, so fitted them this morning: :innocent: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Oh yeah!!! looks loads better with those fitted Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Thought you would like them! Can't agree enough...old seats look terrible in comparison and these actually weigh a fair bit less! So win win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
