i thought the car would stall if the isv was disconnected
as the car has no way of sucking air in
the throttle body butterfly valve is closed tight
it sounds alot like an air intake leak on a pipe or gasket
vag com for fault codes and check for intake leaks,
the isv may also be a problem as stated
a good clean with ashings brake cleaner spray did it for me

happy birthday claire
iwas 42 yesterday if it makes you feel better
"42" the meaning of life the universe and everything

i run a standard victor reinze gasket
14 psi of boost and it holds fine
i had nothing but leaks with a metal gasket
thats how its been for me
low comp pistons though
-
have the car diagnostic checked
that should pinpoint the fault
there are so many variables in a complex system
its allways best to cut out the guess work and money spent on a hit and miss approach,
where abouts in spain are you?
i used to live near Malaga
those were the days
-
crank speed sensor is allways a favourite
as mentioned vag com
-
great post should save some money for a few members
i didnt know you could repack the bearing
learn something new everyday
-
allways vag com the car to look for fault codes it takes 80% of the guess work out of fault finding
then if there are no fault codes the fun starts,
where are you based as there may be a club member near you who has vag com
if you are near scarborough i would be more than happy to run a diagnostics check and supply the tea or coffee

tensioner wheel bearing ?
they normally make a squealing noise when the bearing is on its way out,
as far as i know you have to change the whole tensioner as the plastic wheel and bearing are sold as one part
ebay a mate this forum or good old VW parts department
not sure how much though
-
awesome job

-

o2 sensor?
the ecu should keep the mixture correct even if you are using a 4 bar FPR.the 4 bar fpr will affect response not how rich the car is running, injector duration will be decreased by the ecu
if the o2 sensor is not working correctly the ecu will take over and run the car rich to avoid lean conditions ie engine damage
using data from the intake temp sensor, MAF and throttle position sensor, thats the normal cause of runnung rich.
vag com should pick up a faulty o2 sensor

piper do a set for £172 not sure on the quality

I personally only use vw original followers and find them well over priced

im in scarborough
great place

the best short runner intake for quality and design has got to be shimmell performance.
i have spent the last year deciding which intake runner to get after rushing into buying an ebay special and finding out it needed alot of modification to get it to work well.
The main problem was getting the injectors to seal correctly under boost.
i am saving my money now for a professional mani which includes a fuel rail.

heres the link
a bit pricey though if you include import tax and shipping

keep the airbox in the cupboard under the stairs and get an induction kit it will sound alot better
and you still have the standard air box for when
you sell the car on
i see them all the time on ebay
in fact there is a massive ram air filter for sale at the moment
just my opinion
-
sounds great i have explored most of the vr6oc site
and find it very user friendly
great work
i wouldnt know where to start
-
just a thought to coax more people in to attending club meetings.
when there is a club meeting due,
maybe a count down window to show how many days left to the meet :!
great site i enjoy it (allmost) every day
-
get the car on a diagnostics system
if you are based near scarborough
i will supply you with a cup of tea
and run vag com on it to identify any sensor faults
if not you first need to get it to vw or a garage with vagcom
-
awesome
wish my car spat flames like that
it shows how a turbo vr6 should sound
any idea what engine management he is using

if you are going low compression i would reccommend fitting low compression pistons, I did alot of research on this subject and came to the conclusion that to do it properly you need to fit low comp pistons,
here is a link to ebay for a real bargin,JE pistons as you may well know are first class and usually very expensive, I wish these were for sale when i did my conversion, if stealth did a low comp engine he would use JE, I know because i asked vince for a price to build a turbo engine
if you are going ahead with the rebuild then why not do it the right way and have less worries about cylinderhead gasket failures,
i have a low comp engine and run a standard victor reinz gasket with many miles on the engine and 321bhp, I had nothing but leaks when i fitted a 3 layer metal gasket.
others swear by them, my experiences dictated how my project went forward
also these pistons are designed to expand and endure as much power as you want to throw at them, i have burnt holes in standard pistons running slightly lean in less than a minute, (lesson learnt)
