The wrap also protects the original paintwork from stone chips and other damage, and you can change the colours depending on how you feel. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R5xp6a_RtVI/TZmVsWPjZII/AAAAAAAACc4/fZfn_77GF7M/s1600/ChromeGTR5.jpg and as far as I'm aware, you cant get chrome paint! haha

can you look in the boot/service book for the colour code? LY3D/G2 - tornado red. if its tornado red, im interested in the drivers door passenger wing and the slam panel cheers.

Red VR6 with bonnet bra and a grey VR6 driving through Buntingford, mate in a polo GT flashed you thinking it was me! haha

Ah, thought it might be too late, was cheap though! let us know how the 65 differs from the 68!

Saw you posted about a 65mm pulley a while back, just seen this on ebay. probably cheaper than bahn brenner or something similar! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-Corrado-G60-Syncro-Supercharger-65mm-Pulley-brand-new-/261044637757?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3ACorrado&hash=item3cc779103d#ht_500wt_1203

cheers dragon green but im looking for the normal ones, but thanks anyway. How much you looking for posted rodmax? cheers

Sorry should've put that down after I couldnt use CazzaVR's I'm looking for early ones, good condition. Cheers

Still looking...

PM'd

As title really, cheers

Hi Owen, Looks like the G's coming along nicely, just wondering where you got the injectors from or what part number they are, also are you going to have to get a new chip to compensate for them? Cheers, John

When applying lamin-x do you use soapy water to apply or do it dry? I have read that you use soapy water mixture, but on the website it doesn't mention it?

need to meet someone with a g60 to compare mine to really, I'm all out of ideas on my low boost issues, considering taking it back to jabba (where the charger was done) but know they will probably charge me even if there is no fix, and its an hour and a half away. If anyone could give us a hand it would be good. Regards

I got rid of the silencer box a while ago now. I'm stumped, I had the TB off earlier, and it appears that the boost return is designed so that it lets a small amount of air through on WOT. on both of my throttle bodies the butterfly can be relatively easily pushed open on WOT. put the heavier of the two springs in, and im still getting poor boost, going out with the soap in a sec...

Im going to take the tb off today have a look. could someone with a g60 tell me when the boost return flap fully closes? is it on full throttle or just before? i seem to remember on a spare one that it closed before full throttle cheers guys

the flap shuts completely, but when i stick my finger in to feel it, if i lightly push against it, the flap opens up so i suppose on full throttle as the flap is angled this could push the flap open?

just done the flap check, it is closing all the way but if i push it back up. the flap opens while the throttle is down? is that right? it doesnt seem right haha

well when i manually turn it i hit the switch and hear it clicking, what would it do if that was not pressed in? I haven't got access to an airline, and surely the butterflys in the TB cant be airtight? or would you block the end off before the TB?

Nice, cheers. I'll report back tomorrow running a nice 1.2bar!

Alright, cheers mate, I'll have a blast at that tomorrow. How would I get to the intercooler? and would I really see that much gain from just tiny leaks?

yeah I get the whistle, thought that was a normal thing with the boost return delete.... well I get the blocking off of the boost return? via using the disconnected linkage. but using soap and alike i get lost, and how would you check for leaks after the TB? like at the injectors? Cheers for your help mate!

I did read it but didn't really fully understand it. =/. I'm worried my charger might be about to grenade. I'm getting a noise like a child screaming on full throttle. Also at idle my boost gauge neede bounces violently above and below -.5bar

Charger rebuilt 6 months ago stage 4, put a boost gauge in about 2 months ago achieving a max boost of .8bar done a max boost reading again today of .6bar. I mean .8 bar is low on a stage 4 with a 68mm pulley but .6 is stock! i cant see any boost leaks in the usual places, but the fact that its degenerating seems to me like the hole is getting bigger? i have replaced a leaking isv aswell and the boost is still dropping. WTF! Rant over, i just feel sad that my mates polo gt is only a little slower and its a 1.3 N/A.

Thanks for your help guys, turns out I had knocked off the live wire to the coilpack whilst trying to remove the pipes engine bay side! :brickwall: haha. Oh well, no harm done!

There is no immobilizer. Well there is the remnants of one, but I left it alone, although I have given it a good poking before but it seems deactivated. all the relays are fully in and I have only checked the fuel rail fuse didn't think the others would matter much. I swear this car is cursed!
