G60ING

On mine we removed half of the spindles leaving just nub at the top and bottom then the screws are countersunk into the plate.

cutting it off. its not 100% rubber. rather its steel with a rubber coating. I cut mine off back in 1995 and have no problems from doing this. In fact a VW dealership mechanic told me to cut it off. I used an angle grinder to do this. took a little while to make the 2 cuts. Make certain you have goggles or maybe even a face shield

well last year before I had the 62mm pulley and air to water IC, tranny, motor mounts, flywheel and some other mods I dynoed at 171hp and 186 tq at the wheels and with this I ran a 14.7 1/4 mile then I installed 62mm and air to water IC and was not able to dyno it before I blew the diff at the track a run or two after I ra a 14.4 1/4 mile right now I'm reassembling my car with the rebuilt tranny and various pieces. Since my car is WAY out tune with the boost and fueling I've decided to go back to a somewhat off the shelf setup so that I use a standard Stage 3 chip and run 16-17psi and the stock injectors. I will be montoring the EGTs so that when I get a standalone fuel management I will be able to tune the car to this setup and temp range which is been proven for a long time by countless people. From there after having a good basic setup I will then crank the boost and fuel up so that I move forward. I'm so tired with having to deal with chip tuners and trying to get one to burn it to my needs. I even went so far as to travel to a chip tuner to have them tune it to my car's needs and to my friend's Lysolm's cars needs and I wasn't satisfied at all. I know that the numbers posted from europe and the USA are never on an even scale so thats why I didn't post them

I'm a Vortex G60 forum Junkie. I got tired of all the old questions there so I figured I'd venture into a new crowd. the ISV routes air in and out of the intake manifold to controlle and is controled by the ECU and has the ability to bleed boost to the boost return. but what the ISV reroute does is it places the rubber hose that was leading to the boost return to the IC pipe leading to the TB and this allows equal pressure on both side of the ISV and now no boost is able to be bled off. I hope that simplfied it.

Hello. I didn't know where to say hello at so I figured this might be a good forum. I'm located in Moyock, NC, USA and have owned my car since 1995 and have owned 6 other corrado G60s since then and parted them all out except one that was worthy of being rebuilt and sold to a worthy owner. Below are my mods to my car and next to the mods is a link to the pics that I have of it.

I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself and my car. :) my 2 favorite pics

the ISV is the Idle Stablizer Valve. Its a solienoid that flutters to keep the car at a steddy idle. On a stock car the ISV is located above the Valve cover and routes from the intake manifold to the boost return pipe. The boost return pipe is about 1.5" and runs from the bottom of the TB back to the charger. I wanted to say driver side of the charger but....:) I could go on about the boost return pipe and its associated parts and what not but that is a whole new topic that could be debated forever

I had my TB massaged by a friend he did a very good job and it helps throttle response with the impreved flow and I don't have a ported head YET. I don't have any pics of my TB but here are some of my friend's other tb work. MY TB has had a little bit more radical work done to it :wink: http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sra ... a3b2d4.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sra ... a3b378.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sra ... a3776c.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sra ... a3ac31.jpg and yes the stock G60 Corrado IC and plumbing is a big henderance: http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sra ... 02abb6.jpg The plumbing has been modified a little but you still get the idea about how long it is. I like the idea of air to water ICs because you get to keep the A/C and don't have to butcher up any body parts: http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sra ... 91a869.jpg edited due to the pics not fitting into the post. just click on the links.

Hello. I'm a new member to your forums but I'd like to interject about this video. I used to sell these VW videos on ebay a while back and I'm most certain that the lowest pressure that was within spec was 8.6 psi but that was with a stock pulley. Now I do remember seeing that the ISV would vent boost above a certain psi and I think this was around 12-13psi and this is why most of us over here in the USA use an ISV reroute so that both side of the ISV are pressurized and then its unable to bleed boost since the isv is rerouted to the TB's IC pipe and the boost return pipe is then capped off.
