Hmmmm is OBDII an absolute necessity? I was hoping to avoid having to go down that road if I could help it. Yeah the turbo would definitely have to be new for me, that's the one thing I definitely wouldn't chance second hand. It's easy to say I wouldn't really be after huge power as I know how addictive it is, but after building a "within an inch of its life" beetle engine that needed repairing every other week I would put reliability would be above huge power these days. I think 300bhp would be enough to put a smile on my face and from what I've read is like you say - easily achieveable without massively stressing the rest of the car...

Coullstar you are 100% right and deep down I already knew it. Interesting what you say about the intercooler. Pretty sure it does say suitable for the Corrado but would need checking before hand. One thing I did notice on one of the kits (may have been the rotrex kit) it says RHD available at extra cost. The problem for me with buying off forums is I've had bad experiences in the past buying used performance parts so will be going for brand new bits as much as is possible. Good things come to those who wait but I want the good things it's the waiting bit I struggle with

I know what you mean Jim - different strokes and all that? May sound strange as I do like a nice looking watch but I'd never want to own an expensive one. Then again most of my friends thought Id had a knock on the head when I bought my VSR

If I did go for it I would be having to do it on a mega tight budget - the stage two is stuff that could be done at a later date though? Obviously it would make sense to do it right the first time but if you had to do it in stages for financial reasons? *edit* btw I do understand that any normal sane minded person would wait til they had all the money to do it properly the first time, but I'm desperate to turbo my car and both impatient and poor. And thick.

Haha same here - I've got a Suunto Vector that's been smashed all over the place but still going strong. You lot spend more on watches than I do on cars :lol:

I really like the sound of the Garrett stage one kit. Sounds a decent option for well under £3k and for me personally there's a lot more satisfaction knowing you done it yourself

I'd rock that (with a black hood) not for 25k though...

This is a fantastic little sub and although Abdul says he likes his music a bit louder, you will be surprised at just how much air this sub can move for its size. Cracking little box GLWS

Whilst bored during last nights Jungle Torture I came across this company. Anyone on here got one of their kits or know anything about them? Seem very reasonably priced for DIY application http://www.vr6specialist.nl/tuning/?t=en&p=tun11&id=1161950783&filter=9&pn=2 There's quite decent write ups on what you get and why you get it. Also love the fact they sell the crap Chinese turbos and in the description pretty much say they're rubbish and not to bother :lol:

Excellent! That's great news Will, glad you're happy mate :)

Yep I know the one you mean. Pretty sure there was a build thread on here wasn't there?

That's a damn good shout Fla :)

Whoah! That is some garage! You lucky, lucky bast.....

Pfffftttt everyone knows pearl paints really heavy that's why flash red Corrados are the fastest - less lead in the paint :lol: Seriously I have always assumed Redborbet that your car was red

That looks awesome Matt! you must be well pleased mate. Have to say though it's the weirdest shade of red I've ever seen...

Yeah I know VW do a grease but as it's just under £1,000,000 a tube I'm looking for something that will do the job a bit cheaper

I've actually been so bored I've replied to a couple of threads on E38 and been reading about space...

Funny thing is all summer I couldn't be arsed being stuck in the garage cos the weather was too nice, now it's bloody freezing and pitch black I'm stuck in watching this garbage...

I quite like that. Would look decent with a Berg Cup race livery

Anyone got any decent websites to look at while I'm stuck in with the mrs and kids watching this dirge? Preferably car related but anything interesting....

Decent that :)

Mine were aftermarket Recaros James so may be different but they sat just right. I knew the Konigs sat a bit higher but never noticed how much til I picked my mate up and he said my head was nearly touching the headliner and I'm only 5' 8"! Probably going to put my Konigs up for sale soon anyway...

The Konigs do sit higher. Took me a while to get used to it and still not sure if I prefer them to my Recaros
