Thanks for that. I will definitely be getting a 4motion rather than a syncro then.

That helps a lot,thanks. So is 4motion the new version of syncro and is it better in your opinion? Cheers

Hi everyone, I haven't posted on here in ages but am after some info. I have been looking at passat syncros and 4motions and would like to know the difference. I think these would make great stealth machines. I know 4motions seem to be a bit more expensive.What are the other differences?? Cheers Gary

The one on ebay has done more than 15000 miles on recon. The one i had previously had approx 1000 miles on recon (read the first thread) Cheers

it has been custom mapped for the 3 litre conversion ,cams ,head and all but not for the charger. I was going to get it remapped in a week or so. SILLY ME!! I thought that it would be ok till then, how wrong could i be! I had been driving it for just over an hour of fitting, i gave it some real stick and then BOOM!!

would the victor reinze still be capable of handling the power of my car tho,??even though it's only a zr2 charger, my car was giving out 227 bhp before the charger so that should put it over the 300 bhp mark now

Cheers Jules, the car was running fine in general, it has the right charger chip,it already had arp head bolts but not sure what kinda gasket it had. The thermostat was also working and not overheating, as for the ecu giving out any dodgy codes i'm not sure as it's not been on a diagnostic machine. When i have it put back together i will have that done aswell as a compression test. I'm well confused as to what gasket to use, i had my mind set on a copper one as designa dubs recommended but that might be just because they make a lot of money out of them???

Thanks guys, i will get the best copper head gasket designa dubs have, gonna order it tomorrow.

my head will prob need skimming again from what i understand and then all the labour that garages charge aswell. At a guess £500 to £550 but my local garage will prob charge £200 more as they are pricey as &*%@ . Then there's the price of a copper head gasket aswell. Not gonna be cheap :-(

yes markgolf you are right it has been on the road about 3 weeks, it was v v fast for the 1 hour it was running with the charger on!

I looked at one but with the name BONNET BRA it spoiled it for me, i don't wear a bra (honest i don't) so neither will my car!!

My Head gasket has gone, seems it couldn't handle the charger, obviously i have been happier. I am after a copper or uprated head gasket from the uk. I don't want to get one from abroad because of the waiting time for shipping, is there anybody over here who does them??? Cheers

I have just found my head gasket has gone , oh the cheapness!!!!!

I have just got my charger fitted and have had some teething problems, it has been popping off air hoses because of the pressure, I have now sorted that but i have now a major water leak. The leak is coming from the lower part of the engine near the drivers side, somewhere near the back. I have samco hoses so don't expect them to have burst and can't see anywhere obvious that they have popped off. Any ideas what it could be???

3 litre conversion,264 vento cup cams,gas flowed big valve head,straight through scorpion zorst,viper induction kit and remapped ecu, i think that's it. It's got great pull from 60 mph upwards just lacking a bit from bottom end in my opinion. Charger should help!!
