    RIGHT, I M RUNNING A BEGI FMU, WHICH IS A BOOST DEPENDANT RISING fuel pressure reg..so a standard ecu should be ok, to start with . intercooler silicons from ebay, and pipe from my local car parts exhaust place..amd after that buy a bench mounted vice and something to cut with..

    my intercooler came form the bloke whoim i brough a large part of the kit (secondhand), although i was going to go for a cossie intercooler, i know there are argfuments about what size intercooler, and its also possible to have to big a intercooler for a car..it depends on type (bar and plate or bar and fin) and how much horsepower you want to push, mine should be ok in that respect. more photos tonight as ive done a bit more

    you still ok to drop that flange of for me tony?
  8. jims13
    well, a quick update, as im on nights and have been poorly pete, i havent done much this week, i did get the other silicons i need , so the intercooler pipes should be done over the weekend, as will the plumbing for the begi fmu..im however doubtful for north weald next week, but it will be running for the rr day at the end of july.
  9. jims13
    no mate,not without a exhaust flange tony if you could drop it off that would be great
  10. jims13
    nigel, that cat flange would be ideal..cheers jim

    when is gti summer fest?
  13. jims13
    well, ive just ordered the last of the silicons, i could have welded and mitred all the intercooler pipes, but the silicons are gonna make it so much easier. im also gonna take a trip down to vw, and enquire about the 1.8t return, you havent got a part no have you tony? apart from that , ive just got the inlet to bolt back on, some pipes and the housing that goes with it, and thats about it. im on night sfor another week, so depending on work , itll either be done or it wont. but im hoping for a start this coming weekend. giving me a week to shake it down and iron out any bugs.
  14. jims13
    well, just had to pop to b and q , to try and make a oil return to the sump...im gonna use a 15mm compresion fit straight bit, and some braided pipe i got from there, hopefully it hold when i tap the sump..fingers crossed for a start at some point this week.
  15. jims13
    yeah thats what i meant mate, volksfest.. i hope it will be ready its the intercooler pipes that are gonna be a pig. but we'll see how it goes
  16. jims13
    nah nor can i mate, gettinf very excited , a bit like a kid at christmas...im also hoping it'll be ready for vw action on the 13 july, if not it has to be ready for the south east rr day on the 26th
  17. jims13
    right, update time, spent last night with the brother in law, putting the head back on, we also put the schimmel cams in. i need to connnect all the pipes, and then all we have left to do is intercooler pipes from lower wings to top of car and exhaust. i also mounted the begi fmu, and need to plumb it in. im hoping to have it running by the end of this week. pics to follow later

    clutch wont be a problem unless you drag it. traction at the pod is always a hit / miss thing.
  19. jims13
    bet you have a airlock, even if they are meant to self bleed..try leaving the cap off overnight and i bet the water level drops, if it does top it up and put the cap back on
  20. jims13
    right, assuming its running, ill be up for this...should be fun
  21. jims13

  23. jims13
