Thanks for your reply giddy plus pictures.
How, your wheel sits is exactly how my wheel looks now with the shackle kit, so I want to replicate this on the weld on kit.
I noticed that the kit supplied to me, the saddles look like they have been revised.
Going on retrofications how to states their reasons.
It's interesting to note that you made a centralising lower plate.
I was assuming the new offset hole in the saddles compensated for the axel central position. Along with knocking the pins out of the leafs and refitting the opposite way.
I took note of their instructions and had to go and re purchase new u bolts, nuts and the black top plates again.
Wished I had kept mine now .

Just read through your thread, nice Caddy Giddy 👍🏻

Especially like your new brakes with the Caddy in Porsche font 😁

Certainly giving me food for though with engine choices 🤔 just to make my search for the right Caddy even harder 🤦🏼‍♂️ So a blackberry Caddy with a 1.4TSI DSG 🤔 loved the DSG Box in my AW Polo GTI 😁😍

Looking really good! I have the same colour and engine slowly doing bits. Question on the BOV, do you feel it does anything beneficial? I've fitted an MST closed induction kit and its had a remap so its between the BOV or plough on an look at a new exhaust system.

Hi. It's been a long time since I fitted this. I've changed the whole induction kit at the same time. I don't remember noticing any significant performance increase, but it looks good and adds some fun noises on upshifts :D
I don't think BOV alone would do anything performance-wise on these engines, but in theory it should extend the life of the turbo, as these engined don't have factory fitted BOVs.
