  1. Doable, by removing the transfer box and fitting a blanking plate. C2 Motorsports do one clicky
  2. Remapped ME7 would get my vote. You just need the immobiliser defeat done IIRC, and an converter for the engine speed signal (be it CAN or signal amplifier)
  3. One flew over the cuckoo's nest. One of the best films I've ever watched. 10/10 (I rarely give a 10)
  4. [chant]Tur-bo, tur-bo, tur-bo, tur-bo[/chant] :D
  5. cheers bud ill have a look into it, im havent got a clue why its needs one but i was told it defo does :confused4:[/quote:2h1jni48] It might well need the signal to be amplified. I don't know what the Jabbasport adapter is, but I know that MSD make an adapter, that could be an alternative.
  6. Why do you need a converter box? Is the tach signal on CAN? If not can you not just pick up the tach signal from the ECU? What engine code is you 1.8T?
  7. Cheers mate, it was inspired by lilfuzzer at BVF. His VR is looking really sweet with the welded up wiper but I couldn't go that far so Chris' (Vag-Hag) suggestion of a Halford bung has worked quite nicely. A trip to Toads on the cards then? We'll add it to the list of things to do eh? :salute: Haha, indeed :lol:
  8. That would be good :) Nearly popped into Cambs the other day, but I was tired, grumpy and needed my bed so took the direct route home. Glad you're enjoying the drive, keep falling in and out of love with mine. Aye, that'd be good :) Mincy looks good with a bare bum ;)
  9. Oh dear, that really isn't good :(
  10. The lacquer should sort itself out for the most part. Had a similar issue on our Golf, and you can't see where the mark was now
  11. That's one hell of a lot of cash for 400bhp, given the like of Stealth do that for £4k
  12. I graduated from Staffs Uni in 2006 with a BSc in Software engineering, and have worked as Software engineer, Systems engineer and now Technical Sales and Product Support Engineer for a company (Pi Shurlok) that makes ECUs for the automotive industry, predominantly focussed on Engine, Chassis and After-treatment control. Customers range from Aston Martin, through to Eaton (as in superchargers). We also design and manufacture infotainment ECUs for the likes of Jaguar. I provide support to those customers for our brand new cutting edge prototype-to-production OpenECU products, that allows our customers to rapid prototype control systems, on the same ECU that then goes into production. All very exciting for the business, as 3 years ago, we only offered consulting engineering services!
  13. Looks terrible ;) I think you need to start a new members gallery thread fella :D
  14. I heartily agree. However, the current one is dogsh*t and I'm glad it's being axed :lol:
  15. mrbeige - has his birthmark on his tongue - cries a lot at sad or happy movies :cry: - has a scar on the back of his neck that wouldn't look out of place on Frankenstein's monster! :doc:
  16. I did actually just laugh out loud! Quality! The reason we are getting adverts like that is because we've had a generation where only 80% of kids leaving primary school can even read and write to the required standard.... :sleeping: Sorry, put myself to sleep there....
  17. It'll defo run ok, just be down on power. Taking longer to fire will be why you can smell gas too
  18. If the camshaft hall sensor (above) was dodgy, I'd expect it to take longer to start due to the lack of cam sync. In which case the engine would run batch firing on the injectors. You'd also see a reduction in power output too. You may experience poor running, but I have no direct experience of a failed cam sensor so can't comment on that. However, VAG-com would 'normally' show a faulty sensor.
  19. I agree with the wort-meister
