duncanthemad wrote 1.8 16v corrado has KR engine, also in mk2 16v golf and others 2.0 16v corrado has 9a, also in audi 80, coupe and others mk3 16v Golf has ABF, your list only shows it as in passat.

what? "The car on front....." :D :roll:

My point (however vauge!!)was to fry, not to you aposgil. in the end you have a much better engine than a standardish 9a or abf, but I was highlighting to fry that that is not the only route, and good gains can be had within his specified budget!

There are loads of maps for 2L 16v on throttle boddies - badger5 is the best site to read! I think you can download his old jetta map for free!

Hi Does anyone know of garages with VAG COM in the Edinburgh area who will charge less that the stealer? (£80) The guy in the stealer also tried to tell me that the ABS warning light has nothing to do with whether there is fluid in the system - I think this will make the ABS a little unhappy and inhibbit its performance a touch!! I dont know that there even is an ABS prob just yet, car was bought with ABS light on, but the brakes were desperately needing bled, and the discs and pads were warped like a crincle cut crisp and about half the thickness!!!!

y so desperate for 2.1? power gains per £ are not great! 2l bottom end £500 max, head p&p £550ish, emerald stand alone management £400 + 2-3 hours rolling road time = 180-190 BHP as far as I remember 2.1l from bigboystoys-uk is more than £2k - then you have to have your head done and still get some good management to reaaly get the best of it. what sort of power/torque you getting from that? and are you running throttle bodies or management?

call yourself a VW fan??? I dont know! putting your wife before your car! I dont have lowering caps, but I cant see how they will take off much more than 10-15mm http://www.bonrath.com/e/lc.htm

Alot of people favour the 9a, I have never been in a car with the 9a conversion but I do drive a mk2 with an ABF conversion (mk3 16v engine) - I am not sure why 9a is 1st choice - there are alot of pros and cons 9a has shorter con rods, so bottom end weighs less, so can be reved higher - but sinse your budget is not allowing for that sort of work, that could be ignored. because the ABF has longer con rods there is more torque delivered throughout the rev range - afew small mods and you can get more torque from ABF at any given engine speed than from th 2e (2l 8v) at the same speed. Or to put it another way - once im off, 4th and 5th for me in the town!! I have no reason to beleive the ABF is a better or worse transplant than 9A, but I do know the ABF is good! We are taking the MK2 to the c forrum scottish rr day at the end of next month - I am sure the power figures will be updated on the forum!! You will be able to compare 9A to ABF then!

Why??? do both? CHING CHING!!!

I am steamin drunk!!! but I thought kenwood chef should stick to toasters!!!!! I am a beleiveer in JVC or Vibe!!! I had "240w" kw 6x9s and I thought they were cac!!!

How much then? And do you do do water pump and rad too? Reckon it is better than a front mounted?? Got any prices for the catch tank?

I will be there, not sure if c will be there though!!! got to get the head back on, flexi hoses, suspension and exhaust on. Dont actually have these items in my possession yet!!

Anyone know for sure if GSF / ECP do genuine bosch 02 sensors?

Blue VR 'works' at BT, Edinburgh Park. Any one?

I got my corrado for £1800, 81k miles, no charger rebuild, and ABS prob back at the start of August; now here we are slap bang in the middle of october, and I still have'nt driven it! I have been doing work on it (not all 100% neccessary), only on sundays admitantly, but what I am attempting to say is that you get what you pay for - I knew what I was buying and am not surprised I am still spending sundays in the garge. I would hate to think how much a 'garge' would charge to do what I've done! :shock: If you are looking for trouble free motoring, then dont touch a £1700 g60 with a big long stick unless you are totally confident you know what your doing. now, I beleive you owe me 2p!!!(or do I owe you 2p? maybe we'll call it quits!)

I cant see the pic! can you update? cheers

yes expensive or yes cheaper?

I have seen this one, says turbo but I'm not too worried - problem is it is from austrailian supplier!

Doesnt £80-£90 not seem a bit steep? Can anyone source them cheaper?

Hi This is an odd question that I sort of will answer myself....... I seem to recall before I knew much about cars, being in my mates 16v turbo, and realising that turbo cars run with vacuum at idle......I am certain that it was a VDO gauge, because I dont remember it looking different from the other audi coupe VDO gauges he had. Looking on the VDO website, they only do boost gauges now. Does anyone know how exclusive the VDO boost/vacuum gauge may be? Are we talking hens teeth here?

It looks like the 2 red/black wires come in to the enclosure, the inductor is in series with the speaker coil, the capacitor in parallel with the speaker coil, to give second order LPF (Not really a great filter at that). There may be additional problems with having an inductor and a capacitor in an AC network, at a certain frequency their effects will cancel to give very small attenuation. Along with a amplifier that could be sending a clipped signal, I'm not suprised your sub has died! I know of someone who is selling a Vibe 12" bandpass enclosure and a VP2 (200w rms(i think)) are you interested in a pic or more details?
