    I personally hate people driving around with fog lights on when not foggy and other traffic is around. The reason being fog lights are not directional like your headlights so oncoming traffic get an eyefull dazzling you, pottentialy leading to an accident and generally being inconsiderate to other drivers.

     

    I do agree its a good idea to have lights on (side lights) as poeple are more likely to notice you while you zooming up to them, hence I always drive with my sides on.

    Before I modified my Golf G60 got the time of 15.75 at inters. This is totaly std with the orig charger that had never been serviced a 100,000 Miles also the Intercooler had a broken channel..

     

    Now I have modified it a bit (68mm Normal Pulley, Overhauled charger, SNS Chip, Fixed Intercooler, New Boost Hoses, New Leads, Induction Kit) and managed to get 14.8 at GTi Festial (santa-pod) a few weeks ago.

    I have had my Golf G60 up to an indicated 240kph (149Mph) so I think yours is about right. I am not sure of the RPMs involved but I know its near the end of the scale..

     

    My car has a 68mm Pulley and K&N Panel with SNS chip (no 3.5FPR or ISV Check). But my car being a golf is lighter and is also pretty slammed.

     

    Oh and what the speed limit in Portugal..?

    You cant get 60mph out of the G60 gearbox unless you grab 3rd. So that slows you down. Plus I think you have to change early as the 8v head dont flow to well above 5.5k RPM so you stop accelerating as hard.

    I did this by myself at the weekend. I left the wheel on then jacked it up then wedged a peice of wood (part of a railway sleeper) between the floor and the tyre.. Bit of a pain but if theirs only one person its ideal.

    If you are going to get it ported you may as well get that done before the pulley whil the chargers apart. You can then simply add the smaller pulley at a later date.. Means you only take the charger apart once so will be cheaper as well..

    Cheers for having a look Henny and taking the picture.

     

    Just had a look on etka and it seems that the rad size is 150mm difference. ('rado 430mm, Golf 580mm). The Golf IC is 550mm according to etka.

     

    Has the 'rado radiator got any hole on the front side that match up with the screw holes on the Golf IC..? If it has, then a braket for the other side could be made..

     

    I have seen people using huge jubille clips to attach an IC to the front of a rad. But would not like to do that as you are bound to damage the IC or Rad or even both..

     

    Henny I dont suppose you have given much thought to how you are going to fit yours as of yet
