so if you are fitting everything from teh mk4 are you using the mk4 radiator then?

I hate to be the eternal pessamist (seem to be doing a lot of that lately) but I dont think a supercharger will work with a diesel engine. Yes its official - I sound like an old man

erm? not sure what thats supposed to mean?

my dad cuts my hair LOL :lol:

Stay off the drugs henny - a tdi has no place what so ever in a corrado. it would be an act of sacralidge to even consider it.

I own a bora 1.9 T(red)D (Red)I (dunno how to change text colour :roll:) its 130bhp and has 6 speeds, and even cruise control! all that said I still think its a steaming piece of shit. You get absolutely nothing up to about 1500 rpm, then it hits you like a sledgehammer, usually spinning the wheels its so ferocious. then 2000more rpms and its all over. not bad as a daily driver I suppose, but dont think for one second that they are a performance car. 180bhp or not. In fact I am going to stick my neck out and say that a 180bhp chipped tdi will be spinning the wheels uncontrollably under most accelerative circumstances. Cracking on mpgs though :D

I would rather drive around in a Yugo than heap of shite. I honest have no idea what possesses some people.... :roll:

is that scirroco not the one that Jabbasport did? 4wd 20v turbo? its the same colour and has the same wheels. looks identical

:puppydogeyes: I had that issue with my mk2 and the 02m box. but I was running 16"s on 40 profile tyres. If my gearing is too low I will be fitting a bigger set of tyres :? does anyone know what rpm the 4motion golf is at 80mph in top?

cool - do me one while your on :wink:

cool, mines gonna look like a shed in comparison lol

dunno that one jay :roll: 20v turbo, I would tell you the sizes but I think I actually got them wrong on the golf! I think they were 1cm too short on either side :oops: the car was a bit funny on full lock. I didnt take into account the fact that the outside driveshaft in a turn gets stretched a considerable amount. But if you want I will PM you with as much info as I have - thats if I can find the drawings they did for me I can get you the details of the shafts I have on the corrado, but to use them you will a) have to have a transfer box in place, b) be runnning the VR6 plus axle setup, and c) you with have to use the Mk4 engine mounting system as the engine sits nearly an inch further to the right of the engine bay.

My 2p. Phats gearbox is most definately a work of touring car sounding art, but....it depends on how much cash you are wanting to spend. The 02M box is not to big to fit into the corrado, I fitted one in my mk2 golf 20vt, but it wont go straight in, you have to modify the gearbox mounting points on the subframe, as well as getting custom driveshafts made up, and let me tell you, trying to measure how long your driveshafts need to be is a proper laugh :drinking: So in summary, yes the 02M box will go in the corrado, and if I were you I would fit it, but it does involve a bit of work though. Nothing too complex I might add. one thing though, your 02M box with come with the transfer box for the 4wd on it, will you be keeping that on it? or have you totally decided against 4wd :wink:

well done that man! Not much help coming from the forum though lol I dont think many people on here have done the old 20vT 4*4 route :wink:

why RIP?

quality! Put the whole episode behind you and pretend it never happened :wink:

is it not all about the inertial forces acting on the pistons? if 2 pistons are going in and out symetrically on a flat 6 they will cancel each others interia out and not pull the engine about?

bugger lol

Its a bit more complicated with the 24v motor as it has lambda probes before and after the cat that are checking to make sure the cat is doing its job. Obviously removing it will need some work on the back probes too. You might be able to just hang them in the air though.

he used a shultz gun

cant say for definate mate, but I would have thought so. VW are bone idle and wouldnt have a specific gearbox for the sharan.

My mam owns a VR corrado - does that count?

I checked on a pic of your car ben and you can actually see the rallye fuel tank hanging below the bumper line, so its not an option for me. Look like I may have to have 2 or possibly 3 tanks to make up a decent volume.....bugger

just replace stuff as and when they break ;-)

IIRC the strap on the bonnet is to cut out interference with the car radio
