    Oh yes thats the ones. We dont have those in Norway. We only have green partys who dont use money on roads at all. Thanks.

    Its just heatsoke mate. It gets better when u dont have to stand still and dont get any cooling air. And you should bypass your inteke manifold water lines so you dont heat it up even more. . . . . And get a big ass hoodscoop and a fan like this http://www.astroshow.com/Alaska07/348BigSnowBlower.jpg Then youre good to go.
  3. Bobtrude
    Yes we have both cats and dogs in Norway, but Im now beginning to think that you where talking about something else:). So what did you mean?
  4. Bobtrude
    Dont answer that;). I feel it in my car aswell, and i dont need high rpms, just 2000 to 3200 rpm with full throttle.
  5. Bobtrude
    And would these wheels be the same ass the ones you have? http://finn.no/finn/bap/object?finnkode=13248449&sid=xz7cabalrcZ764190&WT.svl=Link
  6. Bobtrude
    Are those wheels spaced out?
  7. Bobtrude
    Get a heat shield. . . . . .. Neuspeed.com or many other. I have the same problem and gonna try to fix it with a shiel, but i have turbo so the IC piping will have to be rerouted first.
  8. Bobtrude
    Just wondering. . . . . . how do you know what driving over miniature cateyes feels like?
  9. Bobtrude
    I have the same problem, but only in cold weather. . . . . . .just dont care:)!
  10. Bobtrude
    He he above. very aerodynamick. the vr is a fuel monster original;)
  11. Bobtrude
    Just make a list dude: Timing chains Headgasket Arp´s Big ass clutch ACT or something C2 turbokit or another one. motor/gearboxmounts LSD diff 3" exhaust Oilcooler (gerbox rebuild) If u have the $. Downhill skiingsuit. (less drag) Then boost 14 psi and you should get just over 400 reliable bhp.
  12. Bobtrude
    It does at first' date=' then you start chasing 500hp, then 600..... then you're bankrupt :-) [/quote'] Yes thats true. I want 400 now. (got 300+)
  13. Bobtrude
    Thanks man. Are there any short intakes that has the intake on the left side? (standing in front of the engine)
  14. Bobtrude
    With the original intake, when i drive its ok, but if i stop the heat from the engine heats up the manifold and its noticiable less responsive and feels weaker. then when Ive driven some it cools down and is ok again . . . Will get heat shield for the airfilter soon aswell. . . .
  15. Bobtrude
    ask the guys who mapped it. _They will know.

    _Alot of american sites sell them. http://www.mjmautohaus.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=2_6_15_42_112_1365&info=OEM_VAG_075121113D.80_Thermostat_Housing_Kit_80c&products_id=714 This is a better option for me as i live in Norway, but dont know if its cheaper for you. _maybe stealth racing in the uk have it. http://www.mjmautohaus.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=2_6_15_42_112_1365&info=Bosch_251965561B_Water_Pump_Auxiliary_OEM&products_id=478

    Wouldnt the heatsoke from the exaustpart of the turbo be more signifficant than the vortech? I would go intecooled aswell, of a hoodscoop or something to keep the temp down. I have a small heatproblem with mine and thats even with IC.
  18. Bobtrude
    Personally I would not have bothered on doing TO much whith the engine. I would have gone tor the headgasket, arp bolts, and SQS gearbox with diff. And a new clutch. And the morormounts. Timingchains should allways be done. Then I would have aimed for 400+ bhp. Think thats gonna blow your mind away. And if your engine breaks, just put all the stuff over to another engine:). I dont think it would break tough!
  19. Bobtrude
    I guess you could start with getting all the gaskets, friction bearings, and apr headbolts. Then maybe rods, pistons and lower comp gasket. A service on the top and timingchains done. I would get a gearbox rebuild from SQS and an LSD diff. Then a big juicy cluch. New enginemounts and polybushes all around. With a nice turbo i think your car would be ready for some 450bhp with that setup. Correct me if I am wrong.
  20. Bobtrude
    thats a nice piece of engine!
  21. Bobtrude
    I have 9" wide with 215--35 16 on. They dont rub. They are et 30 i think.
  22. Bobtrude
    Nice wheels! like the lip. Real german.
  23. Bobtrude
    _Yes you are riight, thats the aux waterpump. _A new one is quite expencive so I would have looked for a vw replica of some kind. _The other leak is from the termostat housing. There are kits for fixing this problem, with all parts you need.
  24. Bobtrude
    Hmmm I have broken my turbo once allready. But that was on the autobahn and with the lack of oil cooler i guess I had it comming.
  25. Bobtrude
    Ok, I pay 6 quid per gallon in Norway. . . . . . so not cheap. Thats premium petrol
