-
dont do anyting jap , just vw, audi , skoda and seat im afraid. yeah it does polish up nicely , just want to swap the wheels and ill be happy.. there antera's so no doubt very pricey when new.. just not my cup of tea.
-
id say it needs looking at , what blows off the y pipe ? .. if u want a good map , come see me your only down the road .
-
it should have around 330 bhp and a unknown amount of trq .. goes like stink though .. and yes santa pod is on the cards , once i sort my job out ..

im selling lots of things just to keep this one best of both worlds, stonking performance and 5 doors

picked this up the other day.. got a few bits to sort, but its very tidy car. oh yes it has x2 turbos, full miltek exhaust and dual 710 n's .. its soon to be sporting a new ecu map , as the other one was pap . H and R coilovers , and H and R antiroll bars . and the 18" alloys, which im hoping to swap for something a bit more my taste

nice
-
planning to, and yes , not sure yet if im coming in the camper or vr6 turbo.. camper means i dont have to take my tent etc.

i have fitted a 12v one on a vr turbo i builtfor a freind . not the greatest thing in the world, but was functional . took a bit of custom pipework , but it all worked. no idea on power / trq as the car was never rolling roaded.

fpr depends on ecu mapper, united motorsport use the stock 3 bar , as will the old c2 stuff.. stealth i believe map what you have in. what issues are you having

VR6 TURBO OWNER LOCAL TO BROMLEY?? :)

pics would help ... -
i was under the belief the pumps are the same flow wise, bar any physical differences. mattvr6 - grab a set of 440's they will see you fine unless you want mega power, alternatively 630's

thing is kev i can offer most of that, bar the intercooler and pipes ( for that very reason you said ) , its also having the cash flow to bulk buy said items and to hold them until they have sold . i've now brought back my old vr6 turbo , and tbh its as i left it , needing turbo seals, that car has seen maybe 6 track days , 1 top speed event with at least 12 runs flat out in 5th, numerous santa pod events , plus normal driving . its now on 197000 on the orig engine, and as a car its still reliable. ( thanks UM ) and the only thing thats ever gone wrong is the gearbox , 3 times infact , but

I should have also said, that no ecu tuner can offer support if yoivdo not have a working obd port. It really is a must do. And will save you time and money , when diagnosing anything on the car.
-
very nice
-
i agree kev, the reason most people will not do it in the uk is simply, a lot of people talk about it but few actually want to purchase a kit . the fact you can buy off the shelf parts also doesn't help when trying to make a complete kit, as people have nearly always been collecting bits as and when they come up . they then say , oh can i use this instead of that , blah blah blah
-
i suggest you wire up the port, not hard to do , and will be worth your while . you can place it were ever you please , keep it in the engine bay if you want . did you buy it running / sold as running. get a fpr guage for the fpr , but as has been said it should be 3 bar on a obd2 golf .
-
its all about money v power/trq . as has been said time and time again , for the price of a shrick + remap + odds and sods ( as you always need something extra ) its more cost effective to buy a secondhand charger and map that . or has been said fit a 24v lump / ecu combo .
-
If you give the correct ecu number , and country of use , then there is no reason for it not to be plug n play . the biggest single factor i have found so far of a car no firing first turn is incorrect fitment of parts . That said ecu tuners do make mistakes , and it can happen that on occasions you have the wrong file loaded . the good ones will rectify this straight away . manifolds etc ... well lets just say most people don't want to as kev says pay for a complete kit (well decent ones ). i do sell manifolds @ around £200 , software from £300 etc . As tbh its the best way and allows peopl
-
im sorry a shrick will not give u another 20 bhp.. you are better off spending you money on a charger conversion, either turbo or super .

i can do a tensioner will replaceable bearings for 63 delivered . only thing you'll ever need to buy is a bearing , which at most is 8-9 quid .
