[quote="slipperjake"]What do you want to know?
what bar is it off?
is it one bar or two to make one?
was it a easy swap?

Re: Natural grey caddy build
Looks great the van some fantastic looking mods where are you getting the turbo mod done? I will have soon a 2.0ltr diesel caddy and wondered just how far you can take them without major internal changes to the engine. Great buildslipperjake wrote:Fitted a airtec fmic today, nice fit good quality product. It does seem to go slightly better and definitely boosts a bit earlier.
It's also booked in for cr170 turbo And map to suit middle of April.

Bobby Singh is doing my work he's near Heathrow. He has a good name and has been tuning these tdi engine for years.
The next weakest point with these vans is the clutch, depends how far you want to go? As head flow and fuel pumps can become an issue with these cr engines.

Re: Natural grey caddy build
Thanks for the comments guys.
Hef335, i would say most body shops would turn it down it took me hell of a lot of man hours to build. Think your best bet is to speak to reflex as they have done a few.
Hopefully picking the the van up Sunday from the tuners. Should be running around 210-220bhp and 360ft lb can't wait!
