  1. Since the charger is bolted to the engine (no requirement for hose to be flexible) - is it not possible to use steel brakepipe with the relevent banjo unions fixed to each end ??

    Late spec G60 ?

    Late spec as in late exterior - e.g. wider wings, VR bonnet & bumpers. ALL G60's have early interior though 8) MFA boost check is just a guide & not quite as accurate as a seperate boost gauge !! How to test your boost levels - UK spec cars 1. Start Engine 2. Move the MFA selector to "2" 3. Press and hold the MFA end button (keep holding) 4. Stop engine 5. Start engine 6. Release the MFA end button. 7. Press the MFA End button one time. You should now see 450-800 readings fluctuating with idle. Anything higher than 800 is not right (vacuum leak). Much less than 450 is probably too much timing advance. Go run your car!!! 3rd and 4th gear to REDLINE. Carefully note the highest #'s you've got. A pullied charger should not make less than 11.6psi, and even so, thats weak. A Stock charger should make ~~11psi in perfect shape! EURO Hg(#'s of boost/vacuum) Comments 200 -23.7 400 -17.8 600 -11.9 800 -5.9 1000 0 (Atmosphere- ala no boost, charger is bypassed) 1200 2.9 psi (Your charger is dead or big boost leak) 1400 5.8 psi (Your charger is about dead or big boost leak) 1600 8.7 psi (Your charger needs new apex strips or big boost leak) 1800 11.6 psi (Great for stock pulley, Probably needs new apex strips if 68mm pulley) 2000 14.5 psi (Great for 68mm pulley on stock charger) 2200 17.4 psi (Great for 68mm pulley on heavily ported charger, hold on to your ass fast!!) :rambo: 2000 and up folks need to be careful with fueling, as the programming maps end at about 2000 on the ecu :) Dynotuning, and air/fuel/egt gauge, and custom chip recommended
  3. Steering locks for Corrados without adjustable steering also contain the top steering column bearing. :wink: Makes the job a little longer but IMO - 5 hrs is taking the piss !! emax - my advice is to refuse to pay the bill & demand to speak to the garage manager - print the instructions & show them to him !! I'm VERY interested to hear their explaination as to why they took so long to do the job :shock:
  4. No - you may have a wiring fault You have a circuit tester ??
  5. 93493 - TEMP.SENSOR-2 PIN BLK - CO G60 9/88 > £5.40 + vat 93494A - TEMP.SENSOR-2 PIN BLUE - CO G60 9/88 > £6.90 + vat Found them 8)
  6. n8047035, try http://www.snstuning.com - look in the DIY section :wink: Loads of stuff to check on there The blue & black temp sensors are listed on our site as compatible for G60's (I think)
  7. Handles well enough & great looking car 8)
  8. Surprisingly not very quick - unless you go for one of the later Evo's Mitsubishi GTO for me 8) didn't have you down as a ricer steve :-P Used to run a 300ZX twin turbo :shock:
  9. Could always take them out & put them back in every year to stop them from seizing solid.
  10. Surprisingly not very quick - unless you go for one of the later Evo's Mitsubishi GTO for me 8)

  13. I have 205/40WR17's on at the mo & get even wear & good grip with 42psi in the front & 36psi in the back !!
  14. You know better than the designers ehh :lol: I'd stick with what's in the manual if you want to maintain good handling & tyre wear !! :wink:
  15. they are about 3meters long BIG cheese Don't shoot the messenger, Nige. Ask your local windscreen fitter for the exact method but I can assure you, cheesewire is exactly what they use :wink:

  18. Hans G60.nl, nice skirts on that black one - I'm gonna get a set of those 8)
  19. Windscreen fitters usually use cheese wire to cut out bonded screens
  20. Sounds like one of your engine sensors is dead - maybe worth checking with VAG-Comm
  21. Charger doesn't have a water feed. You mean the charger oil feed pipe ??
  22. Vacuum leak will over read the mpg - anything upto 99.9mpg !! Sounds like a trapped or blocked vacuum pipe to me.
