i use a mk2 gti aus spec one and i have a 28rs it runs at 80 degrees with twin davie craigs all day in 40 degree days, (im not telling you how to do your build only just incase you think she will run heaps hot)

cheers

Yea I could use the stock GTI Aus radiator. It's the same size as the g60 one (675mm), BUT, the outlets are on the driver's side which just makes the top hose fitting a very tight squeeze across the manifold.

You running the QPEng? How is your mapping working out?

[tommymac]

Yer its tight I would agree but it works I have alloy cross pipe which looks ok so why not, brain can sell you a RAD for 140 brand new, however, i dont know whether a mk2 rad fan is upto the cooling?.

I hear mixed things about the peng, I sent matt my agu map cos his was not so good and mine worked better so that was odd.

Im running their 28rs map and its not bad, i did change the timing cos it had a redonk hole in it, and i know it could be leaned out but apart from that its been fine mate.

Jon from qpeng is your man he is really healpfull FYI you need master access to do a tune so ill PM you that.

Quick update.
Just finishing wiring and mock fitting air filter with some bunnings plumbing pipe in place of the MAF!!!






The MBE ECU fitted to old ECU bracket



This mystery device came with the kit and I have no idea what it is. Anyone got any ideas!!??




And some shopping I did at GO GEAR racing supplies...

Also deleted N249 and check valve from DV vacuum line, now running directly to intake manifold.

Getting there! keep it up!

mate i put the code in the ecu section

the box could be your amp for the coils mate. the AMK has not internally amped coils like the AGU.
