Of course VAG parts would be nice, but my wallet isn't that big :oops: Some R tires would be nice, but I'll wait until April when the winter tires come off to see if I can afford some :twisted: R tires for 16" can be quite expensive (smaller wont do if I use the Brembos...) /Carl

I am trying to recondition my corrado for some track days and weekend fun. During the winter month I would like to redo the suspension which is starting to feel a bit slopy. What parts should I replace, and which ones do I dare to get lowprice? (ie GFS) This is what I am thinking: Koni shocks H&R springs wishbones powerflex bushings in the front OE bushings in the rear top mounts (front and rear) top bearings ball joints swaybar links and of course a wheel alignment! Did I miss anything? What parts should I go to the stealer for and what do I dare to buy from GFS? Also have some Ibiza R brembos just laying around on a shelf in the garage ;) /Carl

Anything to clean up the enginebay ;) The charger is out for service, and the battery is out so I could clean the enginebay. Catchtank is going in so I don't have to clean the intercooler and pipes any more ;) (don't think any of the previous owners EVER cleaned the intercooler...) /Carl

I'm guessing your RHD cars have more space there than our LHD? /Carl

Hello, Picking up a catchtank next week, and I would like some ideas where to put this thing. There really aren't many places to place this thing. Where have you guys placed yours? /Carl

There is a bunch if info if you do a search. From what I have read, there isn't much to it. It should fit with only minor monifications. /Carl

Never mind the size.. Found them in ETKA. There are 3 sizes: 628x377mm 628x322mm 525x322mm What size are you guys using? (seen a few posts about Polo rads used for chargecoolers) I just measured, and I think there is a possibility to squeeze in the largest one. but it would suck to get one that didn't fit :) In the ETKA picture it looks like the inlet and outlet are on the same side? Maybe obvious, but is this thing dual pass? /Carl

Hello, I'm collecting parts for my chargecooler project. I would like to know the size of the Polo radiator? And as a bonus, it would be nice to know what volume of water it holds? /Carl

Shouldn't there be some flex in the exhaust system? It's hanging by rubber hangers, right? Sollid front motor mounts sounds like a good way to get some unpleasant vibrations. /Carl

Mine does the same thing! (although I haven't changed anything) Takes quite a while for the temp gauge to move up, and when it does, barely goes over 70 degrees. Oil goes up to roughly 90. After 20 min i heavy traffic, temp goes up to 90 and oil a little higher, 95ish. Seems to stay around 90 in traffic, so I was suspecting a stuck-open-thermostat. But you guys seem quite sertain these problems are the sender? /Carl

:shock: nice! Another thing I need to put away money for... "things to get" list is getting way to long.. Is it possible to get a "partial kit" with just the intercooler and brakets? /Carl

Pictures please! :D /Carl

I'm about to block off the boost return, and I would at the same time like to get a catch tank. I have searched, and from what I understand most of you guys just attach the catchtank to the breather, and then a filter on the catchtank. I have also read in a few places that having the breather connected to the intake creates a slight vacuum in the engine which is good. So, for example, I get the Mocal catch tank, can I connect one connection to the breather, and the other to a connection on the block off plate (I've seen this on a few block of plates). Would this filter the nasty oil from getting back in the intake and at the same time create this little suction I want? Is my idea faulty? :) Overbuilt? Not needed? Inspection here does not like venting the crankcase either, so that's another reason I'd like to get "filtered" breather air back into the intake. /Carl
