okay next mods on the list to do, is custom boost pipes as the stock ones are not living upto the job !!!!!

...so we have turned the boost right down

...will hopefully have them made up buy the weekend and then off to powder coaters for a bit colour ...havent decided yet on which colour !!!
I'am finally going to tackle the rear interior part of the van .....mainly to neaten thing up and secondly to reduce road noise ...then tackle the polo gti rear seat mod :fear:
so ended up buying a few meters of this ....
still need to buy some more suede for the roof and rear cards etc but will go hunting another day...for now this will be enough work !!!!
thanks for looking ...

will the water not just come in the van by doing all the doors like that? as the carpet is between the door and the rubber seal?

You have put some serious work into your caddy, keen to know how the power ended up and what was the spool like with the big turbo
