unfortunately last year it developed a problem with the turbo impeller which gave me a nice high pitched squeel on spool which i put down to a shot bearing, how this happened i dont know and bugged me for so long and seeing as the car had ran out of the warranty i had with it, i had no choice but to buy a replacement unit..
i luckily managed to source an accident damaged scirocco and got the complete turbo unit and manifold for £240 posted from a 28,000 miles car. 10 hours to fit and never squeeled again.
the old unit however did show signs of a nice score mark in the casing chamber and had alot of play in the bearing so this went in the sin bin!!
however the car is now currently running on DGR coilovers, i have smoothed the plate recess on my bumper and have de badged and de wipered the rear with matt black badges. i have a new set of wheels at home ready to lace with rubber and get on but at the minute im not desperate ( these are 18x8 fronts and 18x9.5 rears )
no other mods have been done as of yet even thought ive had her over 2 years lol. but seeing as its my daily and i work on a dirty dusty asphalt plant i am reluctant to get the car how i want it just yet until i get another work van as it comes home each night looking more brown than white.
anyway heres a few pics after a quick blast with the jetwash at work to remove said dust! ( which happens aswell to be granite out of all things so nice and abrasive !!! )
