  1. eaton style is roots right? so its a tb/manifold charger, it's gonna be a b***ch to install, you'll need ALOT Of CNC'ing, lathing, sawing, welding and so on.

    Hummmm HIC

    what charger you got m8, pics!
  4. LOL db, ive know how you feel seadog, its happened to me a few times, been totally decimated by faster cars. I've not come up against anything thats faster after visiting stealth...yet. When i move back to london this friday, no doubt there will be 'boy racers' with 158194810psi cosworths waiting to waste me. (bet they dont have leather heated seats and aircon...heh)
  5. i know that the feeling m8, tbh debadging your car is physocolocically (spelling) beneficial, becuase i think it makes you realise you dont have to prove anything to the noobs in chavics.
  6. dub m8, when they see a nice car like yours and vr6 on the back, they think...fair game....how wrong they are muahaha.
  7. kev, please please let me know how it goes m8, im really interested. eat this :- exactly what mine was doing prior to timing retard >4800rpm on the dastek, knock sensors kicked in. kev seems to be having this ALOT more severely from what he says, it seems like a HARD RPM limit. i could accelerate through the hesitancy when i was having problems. this is the PM i sent to kev. [blockquote]ahh, your car can't handle the boost, i've done ALOT of research on this, and my car's been down to stealth as well to have a ful remap and r&r. the problem is, a stock vr6 odb1 engine cannot handle mor
  8. early n reg highlines = odb1. kev, i sent you a PM with two power graphs, 1 taken cold, and the other straight after the first run...you can see 30bhp max power difference, cant rev as far AND the spikes as the knock sensors kick in and retard the timing.
  9. 9:1 if you want over 280bhp m8, mine is on the limit with 10:1 and 291bhp...its gonna have to have a gasket in to lower the compression.
  10. from what the tuners tell me, odb1 is crap, it doesnt even have a knock sensor map....vince tells me he could do wonders with odb2 if i had it.... c2 gave me cooler/pregapped plugs, no idea what they are. 4psi?? mine makes 6.1psi at 5000rpm using a new autogauge i bought and 9.7psi at 6550. when we had mine fully tuned, i could drive it a few runs fine, then after it got hot, it would feel like a 'misfire' about 3 times above 4000 rpm under full throttle, now its been taken back a bit its fine, unless i m pulling away after idling for ages on full throttle. its fine during the winter, but its
  11. on my car (ive a conlog alarm), you can put the key fob into the recepticle underneath the glovebox/airbag and it disarms the immobiliser.
  12. try driving a charged vr6, yes you have vr6 power, but you end up driving above 3k just for the electric response you get when you put your foot down under boost.
  13. if you have a problem getting in the door, try going thru the boot .
  14. LOL thats ironic, eat this says torque eats gearboxes . the 300bhp is the limit for most FI vr's unless you spend SERIOUS bucks on other mechanicals. 290 ft/lbs is a LOAD of torque, my charger produces 291 bhp & 264 ft/lbs @ 28 degrees ambient, 1050mbars it's still a good deal, a turbo will sound good, but you must have the self control, to draw the line at 300bhp, unless you do some serious engine/box work. My goal is 300bhp, not more, DEFINATELY not less , but if it means blowing my engine/box up, i'd glady live with what i have.
  15. think im gonna sort my exhaust and then erl aquamist and then finally racelogic.
  16. 6 speed close ratio gear box + quaiffe, the only person i know who has this set up on a golf is anorak.... anorak if you read this, is it worth going for the quaiffe or the racelogic???
  17. your really lucky, there is a s/h one (which i can see your interested in) in the for sale section. minty m8, your car probably already made way above stock before you got the charger , your vr was huned by vw motorsport without anyeones knowledge hehe.
  18. ahh the dastek came loose, well thats good, since im just about to have a dastek installed LOL! im gonna ask them to cable tie it down too!
  19. yeah, its a good idea if your a LHD to try for a turbo, bearing in mind that it's alot more stressful on the car (slightly more at stage 1 im guessign), but at the price, its pretty sweet. remember delivery will cost up to 300 pounds and 21% customers fees. will still work out nicely priced though!

    yeah, for adiabatic compression, you need a ALOT Of pressue .
  21. im sure i dont have that on mine, its got aircon, but no climate control
  22. how on eart does an ECU work lose, its held in by two bolts and that white plastic thingy bob.
