    cone filters can damage the maf if they have been oiled prior to fitting apparently? im not 100% on this, just something i was told when i was having maf problems....
  2. deanpompey
    Its not the TB i know that much, cleaned it out 6 weeks ago and is still spotless. Dont think its the MAF either, Its more than likely the Lambda, its bit of a long story, but think im on top of it! wouldnt hurt to clean the MAF tho, cheers adam. will drop you a pm with my number an pop round sometime cheers

    Ok so my car has started the crap idle/cut out routine again, but im not 100% its the MAF, does anyone have one i could plug in just to see if it makes a difference? im down in portsmouth btw. cheers!

    ah ok cool. just trying to get my facts straight on few things before i finalise my parts list for the build. got a while yet, and this will be my first turbo build, so there will probably be many questions ahead.
  5. deanpompey
    ah cool, so would it be better to just not flow back into the exhaust at all?
  6. deanpompey
    ok so apart from teh sound, are there any other benefits to fitting a screamer pipe? Pretty sure i read somewhere that routing the wastegate pressure back into the exhaust system helps speed up gasflow in the exhaust meaning you spool up quicker? may be talking b@££@^&s though! most of my research has been late at night after long days! anyone shed some light for me?

    if i fit a turbo a snail will blow me? AWESOME!
  8. deanpompey
    Im up for that too. Mrs wont like it, but atm i dont like her very much so she can swivel! and plus that means i can call a favour when i start my turbo conversion and pester you for advice paul! hehe

    Ok so not updated in a while, things have changed somewhat now... have had nothing but trouble with EVERY modification the previous owners so called "Mechanic" did. so have repaired/replaced/refitted the following: MAF ISV K&N cone filter Lambda Exhaust manifold, refitted and heatwrapped Front engine mount Gearbox mount Gearbox oil HT leads Plugs Oil filter housing, oil and filter various breather and vac hoses and much much more i cant remember right now! After that little lot i decided i was due a few treats, so have bought and/or fitted the following: DeCat Strut brace 16x7.5J ET31 Aud

    all done now ( well kinda)! massive thanks to paul for all his help, was getting properly stressed by end of the day. still have a massive oil leak thanks to the prev idiot fubarring the oil filter housing, but have a new one coming tomo, so lob that on, refill, and job done
  11. deanpompey
    now right here
  12. deanpompey
    not yet but its on the list, along with a fan switch with lower op temps. kinda weird that it started after i heatwrapped the manifold?
  13. deanpompey
    yeah got 2 bottles og G12+ kicking around so will defo be doing coolant after my temps lately!

    quick vid of the car i took on sat when paul dropped my engine mount off for me.... could only get it onto my facebook due to bloody iphone, so if you need to add me its james joynson, portsmouth. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=474719574017

    actually you are right bungy they do list 10w40 semi as standard oil on opie, but for upgrade they list 5w40 fully synth.....?? i find that strange though as usually when an engine is over 100k you up the grade of oil, not reduce it?? confused!
  16. deanpompey
    im guessing your selscting golf vr6 mate? cos if you go for service pack on corrado vr6 it lists 5w40 fully synth... i dont think i want to put semi synth in it, book lists 5w40 fully snyth, and iirc fully synth is much better for engines running high temps? think ill have to go for millers 10w40 fully synth? anyone used this stuff?
  17. deanpompey
    lol ok so NGK plugs, dubpower oe 7mm leads, still a bit concerned about oil.... from what i can find, synta silver is a synthetic blend, ie semi synth? is that right? opie oils lists 5w40 fully synth for vr6, bit im fine with using a 10w40, but would have to be fully synth as im starting to get higher oil temps and she's sounding bit tappy.... someone clarify for me please?
  18. deanpompey
    ok so although my Rado was allegedly serviced only 2months ago, after the mess of just about everything else this guys garage did to the car i want to do it again for my peace of mind. oil wise from what i have read a lot of you guys seem to use synta silver 10w40, but i have also been advised by a few people to use 5w40, what would be the benefits/downfalls of using this oil? which spark plugs do people recommend? normally i use bosch super 4's in my cars, but anyone have any they specifically recommend? am i ok with BERU leads from gsf? i have always used gsf's beru oe leads in past, just w

    360 will be enough for me tbh. gonna have the box rebuilt with vr/g60 ratios thrown in there to beef up the acceleration, and keep things kinda simple. vince ill be firing you a pm soon re the conversion and some ideas/questions i have.
  20. deanpompey
    that does seem like a pretty outrageous price to me.... however £4400 fitted from stealth to turn my rado into a 360bhp monster??? BARGAIN of the bloody century!
  21. deanpompey
    I was originally going to buy a VR corrado over a G60 purely to supercharge the VR. then i saw the threads on here about stealths kit, and also the vids on youtube... Im now ognna be going turbo! Just waiting for the annual payrise and end of year bonus and i will be on the phone booking her in! Cannot wait to get this kit fitted!
  22. deanpompey
    sounds like the maf to me. exactly same symptoms as mine. new maf and she runs perfect (for now lol)
  23. deanpompey
    hi karl, could well be a possibility mate, sure ill have mine on an off the rollers many times in next 6months until im completely happy the turbo work can begin!
  24. deanpompey
    yes that would be i! however in the mk2's defence, it was not falling apart, it was solid as a rock and ran like a beast!
  25. deanpompey
    11 people in so far so deposit will be paid and booking is now 100% confirmed. anyone else wanting to come please pm me
