sounds like you've got it all sorted then! well hopefully ill be able to get some sort of paying job when i finish uni :) feeling i need to drive a vr someday, in your opinion du think there would be much difference between one and a chipped g60 etc, dont think i could sell and start again tho!! good luck with it all, be good to see some pics/vids of the g60 when its finished, and the s/c vr at that!

Am so jealous, 2 lovely cars you've got there. sorry to be nosey but at 21 how can you afford all this! makes me think i should've just got a job instead of spending my days sitting in lecture theatres at uni being poor!! :(

VR6, LMAO

cheers, thought it would be ok but to save any hassle thought id just check first.

if i remove the top radiator hose to put a new shiny clip on, it wont create an air block or something will it in the cooling system? had cooling issues few months back and dont want to upset anything, am i being too stupid :roll:

you could always try tinting them inside? but its not so easy to reverse if you dont lke it!

yeah ive left it for now, thought that about the sealant too! but sods law nothings easy as the oil feed to the charger broke, i think there was a kink in it anyway where it had been put back and its just worn over time but when i started her up oil was squirting where the kink was so new pipe, so its a non runner till i get a new oil feed! typical hey, rather it went now tho than on the road and i didnt notice it! just a quickie, has anyone left the u bend pipe on the bottom of the tb as i removed it all to the cylindical outlet, may just make things nosier?

thanks, well ill give it a go and if it does let in air then ill cross that when it happens, refund time at halfrauds now i think! thanks again

so for those who have done the boost deletion mod, do you need to use a sealer on the blanking plate or not as im getting conflicting views, ive got some orange instant gasket sealant but if this isn't nesscessary then illl take it back to halfrauds and get my £4.49 back :)

those results look amazing if that can be done in your garage?but pictures arent always exactly accurate, but still!

i got the boost return kit off ebay the other day but i was wandering what to use to put between the plate and the charger? will the following be ok, or could it get sucked into the charger? any help please? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0052633956

g-man, soz, didn't mean to imply anything, i know they will be different (most likely in quality of parts used in your favour) but i just meant you get a plate, filter and pipe etc, was having a bit of an ebay shopping spree otherwise it would've been the g-werks kit, ive now got to get some charger lube anyway so i should have thought ahead :)

cool, thanks for answering all my q's. ill leave the linkage throttle alone and get some sealant 2m and lube from daz. im now happy ;)

lol,yep ebay jobbie! i knew it was nothing like a dump valve kit but for ease of paypal etc i ordered this instead of the one from g-werks. same thing really apart from the description :) ill leave the settings as they are then, sounds the easier option, thanks coolrado, ill hava look in halfords 2m then, cheers for that, ill contact darren about the lube soon then but on the G-werks website its listed as 'PTFE chrager lube' but you say ptfe is bad?

thanks, also can i use GT85 lube spray off ebay to lube the charger? and is there any more feedback on whether i need a sealeant for the blanking plate?

Mike Edwards, sorry, not selling anything. just want to confirm things before i fit it 2m. the exact instructions are as " 7. now you completed fitting the kit, you can now adjust the butterfly linkage on your dump valve, in the throttle body to make this close earlier as the factory only alows it to close on full throttle. On my own G60 i have adjusted this fully. this adjustment allows the butterfly in the dump valve to shut much earlier. allowing all the air into the enigine and not out the dump valve, in turn will make your car run smoother, more useable power and a big wooosh as the waste is eventually dumped when the throttle is released." it does state this adjustment is down to preference and not mandatory but what i want to know is are there gains to be had or is it going to upset things? the next part syas "to adjust the dump valve you will need to remove the rubber intake pipe. below this there is a butterfly linkage which is a white plastic push fit, carefully unclip it, this you would then adjust winding it up to your preference the furhter you wind the better it goes and the bigger the woosh? anyones help is appreciated! with this and the sealant?

right, ive used the search and this is the reason i thought ill do this mod but i cant find an answer, ive just received the boost return kit off ebay, now i was wandering do you have to put a sealant on the blanking plate when bolting it to the charger as it says 'bolt on the alloy plate to the charger using a sealer' if so what sealer and is it a halfords job? now im confused about this bit as it goes on to say when the kits fitted you can adjust the butterfly linkage in the throttle body, in which you have to remove the rubber intake pipe and adjust a white plastic clip and adjust the winding to your preference for a bigger woosh? the instructions say if you fulley adjust it, it will make the car run smoother by shutting this much earlier allowing more air into the engine? can someone please clarify this for me as im not the most mechanically minded! i thought it was just a simple bolt it on and away you go? thanks

like i said my police friend sent me the link, theres 3 from my local area where i go to uni everyday all with in 5 miles of my house, never even knew they were at these locations, imo this is just out to make money not slow down speeding cars!

A little link i got sent from a police friend of mine, dont condone speeding but some are very suspect locations, wessex way for instance for those that know it! http://www.speedcam.co.uk/game.htm

to be honest mate id go with the sns chip, cant speak for superchips quality but for a start the g60's supercharged not turbo, prob just superchip typing? and im using the sns chip from g-werks and cant fault it one bit. worth the cash, albeit its not expensive anyway! and if you speak to darren at g-werks im sure he'll be more than happy to help, and at about £60 id go for a smaller pulley too! you wont stop grinning, great returns for such a cheap mod.

so t-cut or something similars out of the question then! if this is the only way to get the shine back up and scrastches out then ill give it a go at some point, cheers for the advice!

how easy is it to remove scratches etc on some tinted red rear lights to shine them up a bit, the ones rustynuts has for sale? wold t-cutting them work or will this just remove the lacquer? any ideas please, cheers, craig.

very nice, love the sound of the charger!

just to say thanks and ill be getting something sorted

:roll: dont be so hasty to dismiss the g! although ive yet to drive a vr, wouldnt mind sometime to compare 8)
