    Another question for you kev! Fuel pressure! If I put a new walbro fuel pump and a 4 bar fuel pressure regulator with my large throttle body would the maf and lambda compasses the extra fuel? Or would it just flood it or backfire a lot?
  2. michael5556
    Nice one and I messaged that guy about the throttle body and 120 is pretty good! Gonna order the valves soon also, need a remap to get full potential or wait till it's camed? Or just wait till turbo'd in a few months?

    I use tescos momentum as it is supposed to be better than v-power, v-power is only 97 isn't it? I may be wrong? Momentum is 99 though and I have no problems with it!

    Alright nice one, will look up the valves, are they 41mm and 38mm? Will also give him a message about it as it obd1, nice one kev
  5. michael5556
    Just go turbo
  6. michael5556
    Will probably go for 263 then. Thanks for the advice guys!
  7. michael5556
    Bigger valves was my next question! Where does good quality valves? And where would I get a larger throttle from?
  8. michael5556
    Are cams for a turbo engine just a bad idea because they are a pig to remap? Are 262 better than 268 in a turbo application?

    Hi I am looking at getting my cylinder head gas flowed, anyone know anywhere that does this and does a good job?
  12. michael5556
    Very good advice!
  13. michael5556
    It's changed every 5000? And will check levels tomorrow, if ok will try the switch! Cheers pal, will post tomorrow and let you know how it goes!
  14. michael5556
    10w 40? And ah oil pressure switch! Thankfully I have not been at high revs when cornering and as soon as the light comes on I switched it off straight away to keep damage to a minimum!
  15. michael5556
    Yeah I am considering buying a sump with baffles and will check it in the morning! Could it be anything else?
  16. michael5556
    My oil light has come on about 3 times in the past 2 days? It comes on after conering, not very fast but reasonably quick? It's not done it before now? Anyone got any ideas?
  17. michael5556
    So go for a big the biggest one I can afford?
  18. michael5556
    What about intercoolers? If on a budget could you use a different intercooler say off a 1.8t mk4 golf? And just do the pipework yourself or would it be better to get a vr specific one?

    Can a Manchester boy join in?

  22. michael5556
    I don't have vagcom and don't know anyone who does?
  23. michael5556
    Yeah 20mpg everywhere is hurting my wallet!
  24. michael5556
    It has a pipercross airfilter that has been oiled? Should I clean it out?
  25. michael5556
    My fuel economy is pretty bad, as in 18mpg everywhere and it's a n/a engine on 100,000 miles I can get 28 if I drive like a lorry driver, but around town can get as low as 12? Is there anyway I can increase my mpg? And serviceable bits? Any help would be appreciated!
