Once the car has been mapped it will be putting out 280bhp!! I am ashamed to say that I have yet to see/hear/feel the finished car, unfortunately we live quite some distance appart (London/Bristol) However; I will without doubt have some vids by the end of July 8)
On a side note; Mark is the bloke who will be doing my engine conversion! 8)

I think the wiring harness is the last thing i would have wanted to do myself :shock: Fortunately one of my instructors from school loves doing that shit and even has his own business doing it 
Congrats to your buddy on finishing his project

SilviaEvo; yes it is the 1.8T. The engine was once an Audi TT's (only had 3000 miles on it) then he walked into Audi and ordered all the parts (Turbo etc) to bring it upto S3 spec.
ZfrkS62; making the loom from scratch is Mark's speciality! A bit like you instructor! Me on the other hand; I would run away...very very scared lol

Get ti dyno'ed and the 1/4 to see what it can do, looks like it'll blow the doors off most cars at the lights!

That is one savage golf. This is a very elegant car. I can' wait for the vids either. Has your friend done anything about torque steer? 280 is a lot to go the front wheels.

It may be dyno'd at some point. It is going to Revo first to be set up properly. As for torque steer, he is waiting to see how bad it is first.
