Today I put back under the hood my rebuilded G Lader. Tommorow I'll fit the hoses.

Hello! I'm almost new here and just today I had discovered this topic. I LIKE IT!!! It's fitted on me! I have a '89 Corrado G60 buyed two an a half years ago and I don't know if since then there was a week without doing some improvements to my Corraptor. So look what I had finished: - complete Body Kit customed by me – fiberglass. - a Bar-Tek Tuning kit: 70 mm pulley, 12 mm charger belt, bypass valve, RS 3 Powerchip (they said I gained up to 190 HP). - larger intercooler (the water-alcohol sprayer system is under construction), - In.Pro. (angel eyes) frontlight, - FK Automotive "Lexus" tailights, - Weitec (KW) adjustable shock absorbers and adjustable coils (Hicon GT+Tx Series), - The most important: THE SYNRONIZATION of my Corrado!!! I have need 3 months of swimming in Internet, another 3 months of searching and picking parts and components of syncros from Passats and Golfs and another 3 months of hard work. Finally... I DID IT ! I am one of the very few owners of VW Corrado G60 Syncro in Europe, and the only one in Romania of course. It works great, even I have lost 1 second on acceleration. For fixing this lost Iwill change the Passat G60 Syncro gearbox with one of Golf III GTI. Soon, I will complete this list: VW Corrado 16VG60 Syncro. Next: - I am starting to give Lambo Style Doors to my "Corraptor". - shaved doors, - an oil air-cooler (under construction) - 16v head Last week: I had rebuilded my G-lader and a have done RS3 mods on it (polishing and porting of the inlet and the outlet)! If you want to see my car, go to my album on this forum. Eduard - Romania

Ok. Thanks. If you want to see my Corraptor, search on my album :)

If you want to see my Corraptor, search on my Album and tell me what's your impressions.

Hmm... that mean you allready told me about. Sorry, I didn't read your post well enough. Thanks a lot. But I insist with another previous question... Can you tell me something about boost return mod and knife edged rsr outlet ?

Thanks Gazza, But I ask again: If I will readjusting (by shortening) the linkage between the boost control valve and the throttle valve, I will close earlier the control valve and so I will gain boost earlier? Can you give me an answer, please?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, PHATVR6!!! Last year I was looking for informations about Corrado Syncro "How to...". Beside another "Corrado syncronizers" from net I found you and your photos which help me to become a "Corrado syncronizer" too. I have need 3 months of swimming in Internet, another 3 months of searching and picking parts and components of syncros from Passats and Golfs and another 3 months of hard work. Finally... I DID IT !

For fixing this lost Iwill change the Passat G60 Syncro gearbox with one of Golf III GTI. Soon, I will complete this list: VW Corrado 16VG60 Syncro. I have done some modifications too: - a Bar-Tek Tuning kit: 70 mm pulley, 12 mm charger belt, bypass valve (after ISV), RS 3 Powerchip (they said I gained up to 190 HP). - larger intercooler (the water-alcohol sprayer system is under construction), - In.Pro. (angel eyes) frontlight, - FK Automotive "Lexus" tailights, - Weitec (KW) adjustable shock absorbers and adjustable coils (Hicon GT+Tx Series), Next: - I am starting (this week) to give Lambo Style Doors to my "Corraptor". - I am waiting (next week) for a G-Lader RS rebuilding kit. - an oil air-cooler (under construction) - 16v head Thanks again, Eduard - Romania http://autos.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/ ... rowse/c87c

Thank you for your quick answer! That means there are two boost control systems: mechanical and electrical (ISV). Why? I thought if I will readjusting (by shortening) the linkage between the boost control valve and the throttle valve, I will close earlier the control valve and so I will gain boost earlier. I have a '89 Corrado G60 and I have done some modifications too: - a Bar-Tek Tuning kit: 70 mm pulley, 12 mm charger belt, bypass valve (after ISV), RS 3 Powerchip (they said I gained up to 190 HP). - larger intercooler (the water-alcohol sprayer system is under construction), - In.Pro. (angel eyes) frontlight, - FK Automotive "Lexus" tailights, - Weitec (KW) adjustable shock absorbers and adjustable coils (Hicon GT+Tx Series), - a Syncro system from a 92'Passat (6 months of hard work) Next: - I am starting (this week) to give Lambo Style Doors to my "Corraptor". - I am waiting (next week) for a G-Lader rebuilding kit. - an oil air-cooler (under construction) - 16v head (thank you again for your advices-very pretious!) And I want more! So, please, tell me more about the boost return mod and knife edged rsr outlet. Thank you again. Eduard - Romania http://autos.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/ ... rowse/c87c

Another try http://autos.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/ ... rowse/c87c

Hello to everybody! Does anyone know something about mechanical boost control valve? I found this description which I quote: "The G-Charger (G-Lader) produces more boost than the engine can efficiently use. Excess boost pressure is controlled by a mechanically operated boost control valve and the idle stabilizer. The mechanical boost control valve is bolted to the throttle valve housing and operated by the throttle linkage. The boost control valve moves in the opposite direction of the throttle valve. As the throttle valves opens, the boost control valves closes. The mechanical boost control valve is open idle and part throttle. This directs the majority of the boost pressure back into the intake side of the G-Charger. The mechanical boost control valve closes approx. 5 degrees before full throttle. This directs boost pressure direct into the intake manifold for maximum engine performance. The boost control valve linkage is located on the underside of the throttle housing and is adjusted at the factory. Before making any attempts to re-adjust the linkage consult an expert. Boost pressure in excess of 0.8 bar is controlled by the idle stabilizer. The idle stabilizer will open when the intake manifold pressure is above 0.8 bar and vent the excess boost pressure to the intake side of the G-Charger". I'm interested about the readjusting the linkage between the boost control valve and the throttle valve and if I will gain something (boost, power) and with what price (increasing of the consumption maybe or something else). Thanks to all!

I don't know what is happening. I can't submit another photos :oops:
