  1. Always the same on there i refuse to use it. If i had the money i would have them in a shot.
  2. Green line is torque/Black line is BHP Simon_Corado dyno lines.JPG[/attachment:1lijb8ta] But it is peaky torque and im sure somewhere along the lines you said it may not suit cars like that, correct me if im wrong?
  3. cheers for that, i just dont know if 4th n 5th will be too long? i like it been brutal just need to lose a little of it
  4. i feel it would be better can you do 1 of your chart things comparing the full vr sets not just the putting 1s n 2nd against the ctn please
  5. ~300bhp 265lb/ft - enough to scare the passengers - credit to NickVR6 for doing the work. as a passenger i would be as well def credit to nick its a well sorted car
  6. cheers guys and ihave always said thats the only downside and has been for a long time. after driving yours leon i will be putting a full vr gearset in mine, dou know if its a standard box set ? lm sure it was reading 70mphish in 2nd lol
  7. Not sure you can talk to the ECU on the G60 as in VAGCOM type software. Are you getting a spark, does the car start and run just badly? Try looking at the ECU relay where the fuses are under the drivers tray.
  8. Hahaahhahhahhaaahahha was all good driving............. You need a new sig by the way
  9. Any pics of the new beast??? It drives awesome but you know that after the marathon road trip :D
  10. Pretty similar to the 1's you were selling mate. Did they sell?
  11. Having just drove a s/c VR6, not Rotrex but the other kind i can see what people say that it only starts to be good at 4000rpm onwards, but my god do they drive smoothly and sound proper evil. On the A1 it was equally as fast as mine was, both foot to the floor and no difference what so ever.
  12. Drop biggerbigben a PM as he had Haldex, he did have a controller fitted but i'm sure he can answer any 4wd set up.
  13. But on a supercharger if you want to start pushing the psi then its head off some form of charge cooling etc, but yes i suppose it is easier to begin with. Also what kind of power delivery do you want as 300bhp s/c engine v 300bhp t/c engine will be very different. Your explanation is simple and sounds a lot easier when reading it than doing it but look at herisites buid as that was meant to be simple to do and its turning into do this and that which i guarantee you most of you will end up doing whichever route you go, take the advice from cheesewire that has gone down nearly every road there is to do on the VR6 tuning.
  14. Will have to invest in a turbine jacket then, thought about it before just never got round to it, are Owen Devolepments only expensive for turbo's? I get 0.5bar at 3000rpm then 1.5bar at 3500rpm, so it can catch you a little off guard in certain conditions and be a little manic but for the most part its spot on then the boost is tailed off to 1.2 bar at the 7000rpm rev limit. So you can see why i was looking into a slightly larger turbo.
  15. Totally agree, a bigger/laggier turbo is basically like having traction control, big enough to not get wheelspin low down the gears yet small enough to start pulling the car reasonably well. Normal driving conditions will be smooth and relaxed with a larger turbo, instead of been quite manic low down the revs, then nothing higher up as he compressor loses effiency. Turbos are not what they used to be back in the day, much better modern designs for improved drivability and performance all in 1 shot.

    What gearbox?

    Yes that and to hit 60 in 2nd are the benefits and the reasons CTWG60 explored the different code gearboxes
  17. Which are heavier outer dishes the stainless versions???
  18. Looks Pearlescent Green to me.
  19. I like the colour, the best 1 :D 8)

    Recaro Sportster

    Thief :snipersmile: They're the optional extra Corrado Recaro's that come in Black/Cream/Grey leather and Black/Grey cloth. The 2 way electric adjustment, the golfs have deeper bolsters so for them to fit correctly they need corrado subframes which sit lower
  21. Bet its going to be a sad day when it goes i know alot of work has gone into it. Cant wait to see the replacement, hope its going to be better than 1 thats departing.
  22. :nono: You have the discs on the wrong way mate :lol: :thumb right:
  23. Only when its a modified engine to do that.
  24. Thats why they look so cool just sat floating there. Cant imagine how cool the trippy effect would be when on the move. Niiiiiiiicccccccccce
  25. Not really understanding that, can you further explain?
