    Well its booked into the body shop in January to get all its bubbly bits sorted... Then the engine is coming out for and having a rebuild in preparation for the forced induction will prob take a full 6 months in building as we are so busy at present.

    It could be a balancing issue any lead weights drop off when you had the rims off??

    It looks like one of your cams is out by a tooth. When you say had the head rebuilt then the cams should be timed while the inlet cog on the inlet cam was removed. Then re fit the chain on the cog and fit it, maybe you were 1 tooth out when re fitting the cog??? I dont know if I have explained that correct lol

    Well managed to get a few minutes on the corrado head I have. got it all stripped down and ready to go off to the engineers for skimming. Does anyone have a good source for valves or is there an aftermarket (better) choice out there as I want to do the lot. please bare in mind this is for a forced induction conversion. Well out with the old awaiting the new:-

    Dont worry about it Im quite excited now for the build Is this a better turbo then? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SPA-70-96M-turbocharger-T4-turbo-GT40-GT40R-70-96-/220490480001?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item335641b981#ht_9202wt_939 So your recommending a 0.83 tub. Also I have a corrado head I have stripped today and sending it off to be skimmed. I am having new valves and lifters and all the rest. What I want to know is it worth me sending off my turbo manifold with it and having the head ported to match and polished or is this just wasted money????

    I know the 1.06ar is better but would this suit with its .63 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GT35R-GT35-Ball-Bearing-Turbo-Anti-Surge-T3-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem19c19c2959QQitemZ110622419289QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_2652wt_1165

    I bought a Forge FMIC for my previous VR6 when I planned to turbo it But ended up fitting it to my mk4 1.8T which I have put through the business for dismantling. So I will be using that. I have also got a 2.9 cylinder head I plan to have rebuilt in the next couple of weeks. however should I decide on the turbo for more powerr I may need a spacer but this is were it all gets above my head lol

    nah never mate' date=' always to the point and full of fact rather than hearsay, exactly what people need and want to hear [/quote'] Well done Kev I had it all planned out in my head were I was taking my new highline. Then along pops you with your knowledge and wisdom and literally throws a spanner in the works. I have all the major players which I will need either way the ARP head studs the 3 piece gasket intercooler bigger HT leads etc etc. I was definate set on charger because I built an AGU 1.8T with remap and other bits was running 225 or just over but was no where near as fun to dri

    He actually says f*ck this I need a bigger supercharger I could be mistaken this is a better vid lol
  16. Dave_ciw
    Judging by the 4 stud pattern I dont hink its packing a lot of heat as GTI's and VR's are 5 stud in the mk3
