    there is a non return valve in the top of the block on a rebuild i found mine full of silicon particles its situated rear left if you look from the front of the car i was told it stops the oil flowing back from the lifters so the pressure is maintained while the engine is not running

    i drove my vr6 turbo automatic for three years running a stage 1 turbo kit @270 bhp the gearbox gave up after year 3 and the car had done 115.000 miles when i bought it so the auto box can take some wellie if its serviced properly, it was cheaper to do a manual conversion than get the box reconditioned, i was quoted £1200 exchange for a refurb

    you could rig up an oil seperator tank :! that way your throttle body will stay cleaner and you get the bling as well getting one that matches the pipe diameter would be a bonus

    i would reccomend Claires leads for the money they work as well as any i have tried

    the turbo starts to come in at 2500 and hits 7psi at 3000 and full boost at 3500, so once in second gear there is no lag as the revs are allways at the right level to hit full boost as you change up. in the lower gears yes especially with a low compression engine the ball bearing turbo will hit boost faster about 500 rpm sooner,£1200 would be money well spent

    crank, conrods pistons balanced arp conrod and main bearing bolts expensive but super strong 2/3rds sronger than stock heavy duty oil pump rods shot peened to strengthen them ceramic coating on the piston crowns forged pistons if you are going forced induction total seal rings are the pistons the same size as the ones you took out? if so you will only get half a job done. the bores will be worn if the engine is the original one you should really as mentioned get a rebore and use 2.9 pistons, or go for 3.0 pistons, you will have to get the cylinder walls checked to make sure they are thick eno

    its the same as fitting the standard head for the AAA engine

    it seems to run in line with the other wires and is not wrapped around the others does that mean its connected to ground at the end its broken off thanks for the replies

    you can buy adjustable cam type lower bolts when you turn them they adjust the camber in and out once set you torque up the nut and bend over the metal tab to stop the nut loosening off, i cant remember where i got them (maybe awesome gti) the mechanic setting up your camber will usually use a pry bar or a special vw tool

    got some photos so it may be a case of peering into the engine bay and see where this mofo wire connects the wiring diagram shows it connected to a dotted circular line but the legend does not tell me what this line means
  25. vr6turbo
