  1. whoop whoop :) let me know mimjed :)

     

    oh and has anyone used one of these?

     

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-Corrado-G60-1-5-bar-Pressure-Sensor-/290545227745?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43a5d857e1#ht_534wt_1139

     

    Any experiences with these?

     

    Also Yandards you mention the hard cut rev limit.....now......

     

    I have hit the limiter in 1st gear before off the lights and it did not bounce as i expected it to. When it hit the limiter the revs very harshly shot back down as if it had died but when i put foot on clutch it did not cut out....put it in second and floored it and it carried on as if nothing was wrong.

     

    Any idea why my car has such a dramatic reaction to hitting the limiter?

     

    I have only every made this mistake the once (on that occasion) and have been extremely careful since.

     

    I hear that hitting the limited is dangerous for the G60 charger, as i have a jabba chip could this be a kind of safety mechanism. A mate of mine used to have a pretty serious G40 and that was treated with far less respect than mine and it was happy on the limiter, popping and spitting (actually sounded pretty cool, lol) all day at various track days.

     

    Thanks

  2. Dude your a technical genius :)

     

    My mfa has always been well out. Mpg normally averages between 13-15 with a reserved right foot. Now it's not the best on fuel but think that's a little off, lol!

     

    I'm doing a fair bit of things before it's back on the road terrorising scooby and evo drivers!

     

    New charger,

    Changing all coolant pipes

    New boost pipes

    Various sensors, knock, wts, lambda etc...

    Filter, plugs, dizzy, rotor, ht leads,

    Brakes

    All fluids

     

    Gonna be pretty busy but want to finish it off with a live map from DG as I'm hearing good things from forum members on here.

     

    In regards to the boost return mod, is there any advantage to me having this apart from the noise value.

     

    I know some argue it vents hot bad air back into the charger but also that it helps keen the charger lubricated?


  3. Just read this and feel I didn't address the point very well :)

     

    Why do I get this extra surge up the top of the rev range?

    Does the jabba stage 4 chip adjust the fueling at the top to give the extra kick and do any of you guys get this in yours?

     

    It's very noticeable and not a slight kick, you hear the engine really perk up at this point. :s


  4. Hi guys,

     

    Ok I have a mk2 golf with a G60 conversion.

     

    I had it on the road for a while but the charger went over Christmas so is now laid up awaiting a new charger.

     

    Sorry to the point......

     

    My G would always pull well, really well, through the gears but when it hit about 5-5.2k rpm it would take off again like it's gone mad.

     

    Same sort of kick as a vvtli or vtec when the other cam joins in.

     

    Now it's a little annoying as I never take my car to the limiter and when you change gear there is a second or two before you hit the extra power again so drivability is not optimal.

     

    Now the cars quick so it's not like it's running poorly up until the extra power.

     

    Anyone else have this or know why it is doing it?

     

    My set up is as follows.

     

    Jabba Stage 4 charger

    Jabba stage 4 chip

    68mm pully

    Mild head work,

    Full powerflow system

    K&N cone filter,

    Boost return mod

     

    I'm unsure of the internal work but TSR did my head gasket and advised it appears to have had some mild head work.

     

    All help appreciated in advance,

     

    Thanks
