Yes, Sportec is a Swiss tuner. These wheels are out of production as far as I can tell.

I have a set of those Sportec 19" wheels that have been plastidipped black. I don't want them anymore - 18" are better suited to this area's roads! If anyone wants them make an offer.

 

Motor will be fully reassembled next week although waiting on a few parts from Germany for final install into the car. New rescue pup is helping me out. His name's Stacks.

 

I hope Stacks can help you with the clutch fork installation.

 

They still make the Sportec Mono 10's as they are known. I think they would be in the region of $2300 without tyres new based on a quote from Sportec I recieved recently.

 

Looks as if Stacks doesn't want anyone near 'his' motor...

 

Is the MAF unplugged? You should unplug it when running a mafless tune or else the car still "uses" it (per my understanding).

 

Sam told me to keep it unplugged...

No other issues -except the silly brake wear indicator came on yesterday, for the first time in months - I reset it, it hasn't come back.

 

I actually have a Sportec tune on my 04 TT cab - installed by the selling dealer not long after it was sold new. It was something like $2k and if I remember correctly maybe added +/- 50 hp or so. Haven’t ever seen their wheels in person but they look sharp to me, although I am also a sucker for the GT2 wheels.

 

SAI block offs from Chris Cervelli, fresh hardware and every o ring replaced on top of this motor. Intake back on tomorrow.

 

Replaced voltage regulator. A pain to remove the alternator, and a bigger pain to replace as very little tolerance to align the the fastener bolt. Other than that straight forward. Failure of the regulator cause over-charging and over-heating of the battery. Amazingly Interstate tested the dead battery and after their overnight recharge it tested OK. Took it for a test run and back to amazing UMW performance!

 

Turbos are ready (Markski k24 hybrids).

 

Woop Woop!! Did you need to replace any oil lines to turbos. Luckily I ordered mine right after removal they took a bit.

 

Nice to see a number of the fellas doing turbos this year...

Because, this year has blown otherwise ...

 

Excellent. I hope to jump on the new turbo wagon over the winter. Are those the Spec 1, Spec 2, or K24/71mm turbos? And how long did they take to get? When I talked to Markski about a month ago he said he was around 10 weeks out for rebuilds due to supply chain issues.

 

They still have not made it to me yet. When I had these k16 hybrids installed two years ago I had all new oil lines installed along with new reservoirs. I am hoping I will not have any issues with them being seized.
