bodgemonkey Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Won't make a jot of difference power wise, selling the charge carrier and bov as they are excess to requirements. My standard boost hoses failed pretty spectacularly. Previous owner was running it on 15psi with stock hoses. 26 year old rubber in up to 45 degree ambient temps took it's toll. The coiled metal supports inside the Filter-compressor turbine rubber hose broke and went into the compressor wheel which buggered that up nicely Hence which the turbo has a new compressor wheel and is in a million bits in my garage at the moment. When i took the hoses off nearly all the ends just disintergrated, so will porbably have to flush the intercooler out. While i'm there i might aswell flush the radiator, clean the injectors and just give it a good once over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodgemonkey Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Yeah works fine on it cerb, can manually raise and lower it too. Also had a stage 3 fan switch fitted for hot weather and some lovely looking braided fuel and oil hoses Shut lines weren't 100% but a spanner took care of that Had a quick drive with it, feels really smooth but not much power until the cams kick in around 4000rpm then whoosh! Keeps scraping the front lip spoiler sticking it in the garage or going into a drive though, need to raise the ride height a tad. Looks like the bilsteins are fitted on the rear and the Weitecs on the front. Headlight loom kit means that the front lights actually have 12V going to them rather than the 9-10v a std Corrado would get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KieranBolton Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 so cool big fan of old VW's i wouldnt worry about the milage Like to hear a video of it running though, if its got uplifted cams it should sound well nice Kieran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodgemonkey Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Bit lumpy at idle but that's common apparently with cammed VR6's. Quite quiet though, need to persuade the old man to take one of the silencers off it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KieranBolton Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 all cammed cars are quite lumpy tbh, from experiance ive had with them you can tell a cammed car cause its always lumpy on the bottom end, asif its going to cut out, but dosent if that makes sense?

bodgemonkey Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Right, I've sorted out the immobiliser problem on this. Turns out that the wire going from the ignition to the immobiliser box was fubar'ed, so i've got a new wire soldered in. Was supposed to have sorted this out Thursday but long story short all that happened was the 'Rado got a nice dent in the boot, some scratches and i got a sore jaw Quite a few of the jubilee clips around the Idle Stabilisation Valve were also quite loose, got them tightened up and the revs aren't hunting much anymore, no more stalling too Need to CF wrap the top cover, fit the CF induction kit and remove the suitcase muffler, and she's sorted. For now..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
