    You can never have enough of BOOST!
  2. ssaunders
    So have you bought the standalone? Which did you buy? Been there and done more money than needed! If I was you I would keep the original ecu as standard, get one to 'chip' and when you come to sell the charger sell it with the chipped ecu so you can put the car back to standard. That's the great thing about S/C they are bolt on in half a day. Unless your running big boost. A shrick mani allegedly pushes 6 psi into manifold upto 4k and that's on a standard ecu! Check bennyk's build. You will get the best advice here as we have all been there or tried to do it! good luck

    Pete, does Vince not do ODB1's?

    they hold no more power than the 02A, here is an article from NASA about peening http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19820024860.pdf the results read that it makes the metal more resistant to fractional stresses by about 1.5 times. 3rd is renowned for getting stripped so for £150 extra i think its well worth it. plus they come back all shiny! just need a clear case to show them off now...... cheers steve

    right ok, found this place http://shotpeeningservicesuk.com/contact/ £150 to do 2-3-4 gears includes the chrome finish as well. cheers steve

    How did you get on? Hope it's all sorted now. s

    Hi, I want to bullet proof my 02c until I get my haldex convo done. Been looking into peening and currently have got a quote for 430 plus vat to do the whole gear set, I really only want 3rd and 4th done but the guy won't do it. Can anyone recommend anywhere darn sarth (down south) that does it and also general opinions about it. cheers steve

    Hi, Vince at stealth racing does most on here, not sure what he charges now 350-400? If your going that route get all the mods you want done then get it mapped otherwise another mod = another visit = more money! VRsuper did you go piggy back or map and tune? I would be surprised if you had it chipped at somewhere like stealth they would have let it go not working right? im running standalone myself (emerald) and I like being able to fiddle and multiple maps but a good odb2 tuner should be able to do what's needed with a standard ecu, standalone is also cheaper to remap as its done by

    do you need any cheese to go with that grin on your picture Ben?

    is the center dash heater controls dials or levers? if dials what sort of condition is the dash in. cheers steve

    how much are you spending? its all about money. cheap Audi 1.8T Air intake temp sensor (standard is in block and gets heat soaked) rewire to cooler area maybe inside airbox? airbox mod - drill huge holes or cut the bottom of the air box out DIY port head and throttle body panel filter medium 250-1000 install new cams 263's 267's etc ported and big valve head 3.67 final drive (no power but better gearing, would look to do diesel 5th gear for better cruising) also if gearbox is off lightweight flywheel and chains 2nd hand charger? n

    DRP? got one for my haldex conversion, going to get uprated OEM shift forks 1-2,3-4 have the shaft filled solid and welded and the 4th gear support. Mart (Hotgolf) from the GTi forums will be building it for me. Been looking at these for the diff, well known by ricer crew and Beamer boys http://www.grinspeed.co.uk/product/volkswagen-golf-r32-mk4mk5-02-08-02m-6mt-front-mfactory-helical-lsd/

    Thanks for the gratuitous engine porn! what you doing gearbox wise? I have read the 32 box can be a little weak when running big power. good luck steve
  16. ssaunders
    You need to remove the chip and rewrite the code, or possibly add a piggy back chip. That's all folks. You can't program them on the fly. More power is money. You may get a few HP with a piggy back chip but it needs extra stuff like cams etc. To make it go well. good lick s

    sorry for the annoying American!

    Ok, switching gears doesn't mean good clutch. From what your saying is you change gear the revs rise quicker than normal and you don't accelerate as quick as normal? If you weren't getting enough fuel your revs wouldn't rise at all and you would jerk and misfire?
  19. ssaunders
    Hi all, buying some bits in for my haldex conversion and came across this place. Www.epytec.de, anyone used them or their parts? Thanks for looking. steve
  20. ssaunders
    Sounds like clutch mate, when it slips the revs go up but no or little power gets to the wheels. s

    do the MK4 golf alloy calipers fit the rear? is it original dragon green as the front scuttle looks beige? i was looking at these http://www.wheelbasealloys.com/alloy-wheels/speedline/challenge/silver/17-inch/225-55-17/kumho/ecsta-x3-kl17/w-max-168-mph/300 for mine almost OE ;-) good luck, we all love a project s

    hi, normal spacers i believe are just a cork head gasket split over a mk4 metal gasket so unless you start stacking them you wont get a thicker one which i cant see being a good idea? i think the skimming is done in thousandths of a mm as well so how much will a '000 mm affect compression, not a great deal as far as i can see. when you say forged pistons do you mean low comp? if they are low comp then you wont need a spacer anyway. what power do you want? i know people running with 300 charged with just a spacer and standard pistons and i think that most chargers run out of steam ar

    Hi All, been looking around and come across this firm. only available for the 02M box (sorry 02A boys) comes in $200 cheaper than a Peloquin! anyone heard of them? the Bimmer boys seem to rate them. cheers steve

    Turbo Build

    ssaunders replied to JakeP's topic in Engine Tuning

    spoke to a guy here yesterday http://www.akstuning.co.uk/ to up-rate the shift forks, strengthen the input shaft add the shaft support, change some bearings but not including any synchros or gear replacements £750 inc labour, which i didnt think was bad. also getting a price from Mart (HotGolf) who is a legend, i will post that when it comes in as well.
