Ive had it on soft for a long while, found the hard setting too jiggly at low speeds. just changed the bushes which has helped, it was bouncing a little before the bar loaded, so was messing around with traction. Bushes have helped. I do remember how well it cornered with the bar on hard, fun for street speeds.

Sorry which bushes? Sway, control arm? Can't recommend the anti-lift bushes enough also!

Lol , its on mate, I pretty much finished clearing out today I can actually see the wee bugger now. If my mount idea works ill be full steam ahead, mind you only after I get the VR finished. Im moving soon so once all that dust settles itll be on. As you know I had no time to do anything to it really, I got the engine out with all good intention but business took over time.
You know what its like investigating, doing sums, sourcing bits etc. Yours coming on nicely now. Shame not be part of it(now). Seems its in good hands though still.
Keep up the good work

Most eagerly awaited built on the forum mate so pull your finger out Scotty

New swaybar bushes, the old ones were fatigued.

Anti-lift bushes? As in the offset rear control arm ones that add caster?

Gav, you had a tool for removing the old ones if I remember correctly, can you change them without having to pull the arms off the car?

[VWindahouse]

Yes Ben that's them, and yes Gav has the magic tool for the job too

Ok so apparently my tachometer is a little out. By about 400rpm or so which I'm putting down to the fact that the tyres I'm running at the moment have a smaller rolling diameter than the factory size??

So we completed another 3 runs in 3rd gear to the factory limiter at 7000rpm to see how the turbo behaves at the threshold. Here are the findings of the 3rd back to back run



So air flow increased slightly bringing the peak power up a bit to 291bhp this time but things do drop off after 6600rpm.

However an interesting 4th gear run (which was aborted a little early due to running out of runway ) the boost doesn't drop off at all up top



Loving this turbo

The arms have to come out but the alloy casting stays put on the car.

It's a rocket, I am pretty chuffed with the results as well. Kev says he likes the logs and is happy that it doesn't need any updates to the map. Just one to delete the SAI code.

I reckon we can get the extra hp if we dyno in Tasmania LOL

I'm loving this mate! The boost comes in very nicely unlike mine right now

[VWindahouse]

Thanks mate Although sorry to hear your new turbo hasn't been clear sailing.

Hi all, had a chat with Mark from Billet Turbo last week and found out what wheel sizes were in fact shoehorned into the reworked snail

Compressor Wheel - Exducer 59mm, Inducer 45mm
Turbine Wheel - Exducer 44.5mm, Inducer 50mm

Not bad for a Ko3

Also some pricing should be available soon through Gav (h100w) who will have these as part of a Custom Code Phase III package deal Can't recommend this combo enough!

Plus huge news from CC head quarters in the UK regarding their game changing new tune technologies

How do these sound;
"No Hardware On The FLY, Push Button Map Switching Technology"
Push To Pass
Selectable RPM launch control
Anti-lag Launch control
Switch to any one of 10 calibrations on the move
Stock , Valet , security lockout , E85 , Race Gas , Economy mode, 1/4 mile and much much more

I'm excited, especially about the E85 switch tune! And to celebrate I thought I might join the 2.0L club so bought the first piece to the puzzle


144/20's

There's heaps I want to finish first before I start the necessary parts scrounge to complete the short block - pistons, crank etc.

First off enlarging the diameter IC pipe sizing to 2.5" on the cold side now there's enough air flow to warrant it. Just waiting on the MAP flange to get here.



Then it's onto finishing the aero stuff which will be very interesting indeed. Bits should start arriving this week. Plus hoping to get to a dyno soon.

Cheers.
