Chris Hanlon 88

Fitted 4 new tires, a gearbox with a 5th that works, headgasket kit and head skimmed and thats just to keep the daily driven 16v on the road so that i can get to work to fund my g60 project which is getting there

im gutted i cant bring my corrado, i just started the rebuild last weekend i got at least 2 months b4 its mot worthy

sweet as, ive just fitted the new gaskets to my throtttle body theres the 2 gaskets but tps only have the 1 between the throttle and plenum, so i just got 2 off seen as there almost identical and they had 74 in stock just under a fiver for them, happy days

Sound as, im well lookin fwd to getting it back on the road ive got about 10 days untill i get supercharger back from gwerks they also need to order the rsr kit and the samco hoses and the hoses will take 4 to 6 weeks so ill make do with my old ones untill they arrive not like it will blow them if i cant use much boost for 500 miles or so plenty time for the hoses to arive in time for givin it a blast or as i like to say ....... GEE IT LALDY .......

cool ill give vw a call from work tomorow, and how often do you spary the white grease into the unit,

Where can i get the 2 gaskets for the throttle body, no local parts companys have anythin for this car, and ill maby remove the boost return after ive run in the charger ill mab make my own system so that the charger still gets a small amount of breather oil but no return pressure,

i live just outside Kelso in Scottish borders so im about 5 hours away i think but im just away to call gwerks now and arange to send my charger away and get the rsr outlet and the samco hoses too Stage 5 here i come, woo 8)

Yea cool ill get the stage 5 and the rsr plus the samco hose kit seen as mine are perished, and ill ask about discount seeing as its going to come to £860 this is also my daily car tho im using dads crv atm, its great being 21 and driviing around a g60 it turns everyones head, i havnt seen one at all other than mine, i would wait for it but im too far away, :(

wow i love those steps :D it has a magnex Cat back system and also a Unknown DE-Cat atm, Whats the best service on the charger i was thinking of stage 5, i have the charger with 6 fins on the outlet is it part of the stage 5 service to remove 3 of them and knife edge the other 3 or do you need to ask for this? also thanks for the reply really has backed me up on sending charger to Gwerks Also do you get forum discount???

Exellant stuff :D with the chip and pulley is it it still quite eco on light throttle what mods is ther for the boost return and how do you go about the return valve on the throttle body and where can i find an rsr outlet ?

hey thanks for the quick replys, your pretty confident with G werks and thats what i need is confidence in a company so ill give G werks a call and arange to send it down, how long roughly dose it take is it about a week or two? also is it really worth putting a smaller pulley on and a new chip or dose the engine need to be uprated to cope with more boost, and what about removing the boost return pipe i hear its better for the charger but i not got a clue, prob just folk that want a dump valve Also id rebuild it myself but as its never been off since 1992 when it was built id rather a pro rebuilds it first incase im to miss anything but was great fun to remove, my fave part is when you need to remove the box on the rear and the bolts are rounded over and u need to use the easy outs and theres no space for the rachet or your hands prob took me 3 hours to remove the charger, intercooler, pipes and throttle body not bad, be half the time to refit i hope,

Hey im new to the forum My first ever VW is a G60 corrado :notworthy: its done 124k and ive no proof of the charger being reconditioned so ive started to remove it to have it rebuilt, id be greatfull to know where the best recommended place to have it sent, as id like it to get port + polish work done too, also wud be great to hear of any mods or things too tinker with to make better or possible probs too look out for, been mechanic for 5 years so i know the basiscs "i hope", and this is now my 6th car in 4 years hopefully i dont get bored as quickly this time,
