I've noticed this on there! I think i'll email them anyway, you never know! I really should have clicked earlier tbh If i don't hear back in the next week or so, I think i'll be passing all details to the local police to see what they can do!

Anyone? Positive or negative!

Anyone bought and received anything from this member or know him personally? I bought a ported and polished head from him which was advertised on this site. It was a good 6 months ago i Paypal'd the money over. I was set to pick it up when i went to edition 38, which i couldn't make it to, so i emailed and all was well, i was to arrange a courier after he wrapped it. I have now been told that he has been robbed and doesn't have the head any more. I am trying to get in contact to get my money back, though i am not getting anywhere. I have spoken to him on the phone and text / emailed him befor

I thought of this as well, though 4 bolts seems a bit overkill, I'll whip it off and re-fit later, just en case
-
At the rear end of the exhaust tunnel (nearest the fuel tank) there is a bar with 4 bolts mounted across the car - what is it for? Is it simply to strengthen the chassis? Thanks all!
-
Many thanks Luke! I should have read a bit more before purchasing really Thanks!
-
Yup, exactly that! looks like they need to be screw but they are banjo ends, A common problem?

Thanks! Well this weekend a few things happened, Removed the old pads from the front & rear brakes, cleaned them up, retracted the pistons, fitted new pads and painted the calipers purple to match the bay: Cleaned up & fitted the front discs: 3" Downpipe back exhaust system: Rear brakes partially fitted, fuel tank fitted, new drilled / grooved discs, pads & wheel bearings The plan was to fit my good ridge braided hoses, but i seem to have bought the wrong ones in error, I'm not sure what they're from, though will post up some pics and see if anyone else knows. I also now hav

Had a quick hunt on google and a squint on here, but still unsure Does anyone know the size of the two bolts used to mount the alternator to the cast bracket? I think they may be M8 x 85 1.25 Pitch, But would like to make sure :S Thanks all, G

I dont know if i'm looking in the wrong place, but the only ATP manifold i can find for the 12v is also an inline mounted one http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=tp&Product_Code=ATP-VVW-003&Category_Code=VVWM If they had one more like the R32 it would be more useful imo http://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=tp&Product_Code=ATP-VVW-200&Category_Code=VVWM. I'll keep hunting though!

Currently have a manifold like this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volkswagen-VW-Vento-Jetta-Bora-2-8L-VR6-12V-Cast-Turbo-Exhaust-Outlet-Manifold-/321036956856?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4abf4b34b8 Though my turbo (t4) wont fit between the engine block and the bulkhead! Is this a common thing? What has been tried and tested previously and what manifolds do people recommend using in a turbo set up? Any pictures also appreciated! Many Thanks, G
-
Thank you Fishwick for the information, I will definitely have a look into it!
-
Much appreciated, Sorted thanks!

I have had a read through the link and think i understand a bit more, thanks! If i buy a wastegate for the time being ie. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370635863109?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 this one at the bottom end of the price scale with a 17.4 psi spring. Does this mean boost will build up to and slightly over 17.4 psi and then stop building? Edit: Providing the other parts are up to it
-
Anyone? Usually plenty of knowledge on here
-
Looking to gain some knowledge on Wastegate's, I think i'm going to purchase this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370635863109&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en wastegate for my turbo set up. Are the spring's pretty universal? ie fit different wastegate's? Also, am i right in thinking that if i buy an 18psi spring, i will then be running 18psi through the turbo and if i want to up this, i will have to change the spring? Thanks all! G

Thanks all, Much appreciated! And yup, running an external oil cooler
