well done Daz mate!

bigger ben - can you give me the dimensions of the Merc IC? What is it's pressure rating? tt

I had a quick release wheel on my Mk 2 Golf but the spline o the corrado column shaft was different. There are 2 different types of spline on the Mk 2 Golf, I think mine is the earlier type. tt

dead right spoier - less backbressure is better. because turbocharged engines by their very nature have a back pressure it was previously thought it was a necessity. absolutely not, on a TC engine minimal backpressure is best. tt

I work at the Ford Dunton site just outside Basildon and live in Wickford tt

sorry darren I didn't see it, may have deleted it by accident - where did you send it to? send it to the email addy in my profile. not at E38, in Madrid :D tt

unfortunately I was around 15 at the time, and as much as I'd like to blow my own trumpet, unfortunately not :cry: i do work in the industry though :wink: beavis - spot on mate. fuelling will depend on the control strategy adopted amongst other things

Just what it says.... I may know some of you from the CGTI forum and maybe even met a couple of you (How are you doing Darren? ) Just got myself an aqua blue G60 which has a bit of official VW history in a roundabout sort of way. I work down in Essex and spend a lot of time at weeknds in Lincolnshire so I hope to see som of you around. Take it easy, tt

here's a quick G60 fact - the G60 was voted International Engine of the Year when it was first introduced, and the guy who ran the engine programme says it was one of his proudest achievements in his career. Can anyone guess who it was??? My last boss also did some pre-production testing and dvelopment work on the G60 for VW at MIRA where he ran the test cells. Beavis - steady state flow rig data will paint part of the picture, but more interesting would be transient flow data which is more difficult to measure. It's not very often you're running at constant speed, and flow transients can be wildly different to steady state counterparts. tt
