    darkside developments do a range, http://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/alloy-v-band-clamp-kit-2-2-5-3-3-5-4.html you may need to weld the fitment on though.

    Here is a link to read odb1 codes. Might be worth a go? http://www.a2resource.com/electrical/codes/vr6.html

    Hi, if it's odb2 any fault codes? Has the ecu been chipped after the mods? s

    More pics. 2nd has a tooth missing so I hope that won't won't be an issue! new ARP bolts on the diff as well.

    Hi, got a couple of pics of the shafts sent over from Callum from the shot peening place, he had done his bit and moved them onto another firm for superfinishing and they sent them. More to follow. cheers steve

    Hi all, looking for input so I don't destroy my new gearbox. as a few of you know I have a 4x4 syncro turbo corrado which has eaten a quaife 6 speed box, I bought a 'low' mileage box from Germany that ended up needing a total rebuild including new diff gears. I have had the gears and shafts shot peened and super finished for strength (report to come) anyway I have been reading about the torque eating 3rd and some have suggested that hitting full boost a bit later (+4500rpm) can help prolong the life of a gearbox, especially 3rd. Can anyone shed some light on the subject? I have attac

    As per title, I want new ones can anyone supply the part numbers? I have googled and there are loads of options. cheers steve

    All those makes are fine, it's what you want from them. 263's are good especially with FI. 267's work higher in the rev range and work well with a schrick mani and its normal I believe to uprate the retainers to allow higher revving.

    Ultimate respect if you do. I work in IT and am not a numpty but 3D fuelling and timing maps was like a dark art, I happily played but until a pro did it with more sensors than you can shake a stick at (EGT, knock sensors, pre and post lambda) a 4x4 rolling road and quiet a few years experience did it run properly. You have spent a lot of time and money getting the mechanicals perfect, but it will be ruined if you run too lean on full boost for a second or 2! Yours is a beast on paper, even a base tune by someone who knows what they are doing would work wonders. What are you doing

    I sold my VR for 900 quid, that was after cams, chains, exhaust, leather interior, 3.68 FD and diesel 5th plus loads more, counting back best part of 5k over 6-7 years. The thing about S/C is you can run 10 psi with no mods and if/when you want to sell you get the S/C money back and standard VR cost. imho it's the best bang for buck. If you want to embarrass M3 and scooby mugs then it's turbo only way to go, but it's not easy to return to standard for the long term option. I can speak from experience that you will never recoup the money you spend! You can only try and claw some back when you s

    I did the ford coil pack mod, cheaper bits and allegedly a better spark.

    Hi not huge power, was running standalone with 3 maps currently 260-280-340, the 340 destroyed a quaife 6 speed box! When it's haldex'd I'm looking for 450,550 and 650, Scirroco.com is the best for peloquin as he has direct contact with Gary (mr peloquin) the ricer boys and BM (BuM lovers?) really rate the m factory stuff and they are trying to break the VW market. http://www.grinspeed.co.uk/product-category/volkswagen/ seem to be the UK distributors and I believe the prices quoted are inc of vat as when you go to cart all they add is 9.99 postage, if that's right then it's 100 quid for bolt k

    I have 2 pumps but don't know what they are! Problem when you get someone else's project! I have a custom fuel cell and allegedly a Motorsport pump in it and another one pulling fuel to an external swirl pot. all I can say is that when the external one kicks in that's all I can hear, start up is great as you can hear the priming before as key turn bit don't expect to hear any music until your rolling! I would suggest measuring what the turbo requirements an comparing it to your current fuel pressure reg standard odb2 is 3 bar and I believe that some odb1 run a 4 bar one let us k

    Don't take these figures for granted, not every box is equal! I ripped through a 6 speed quaife gearset only running 340! Speaking to quaife they only rate the kits to take standard power! So 174? Whatever you do it will only find the next part in the chain to break. S/C don't cause as much of an issue as they only hit maximum boost at the top end of rev range, turbos cut in fully earlier and cause extra strain on the gearbox. Personally I would not run more than 300 through a standard box and expect reliability. I am getting my replacement box till I go haldex and I am getting the diff bolts
