foster 0 Posted December 30, 2008 Im in swanage near poole. Would be happy to help somebody just definatly wouldnt be able to do this myself (no tools, no brain!). I also thought about getting an already converted car and using it as a donor, found a rado with a 1.8t lump in it running for £3000 too! Im gonna start pricing up all the parts needed for the conversion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alackofspeed2 0 Posted December 31, 2008 Have you read this? http://www.qpeng.com/conversion_guide.html The guide doesn't hide any nasty surprises, it really is as easy as it suggests. If you're considering buying an already converted car, be wary of the management and mapping - it makes all the difference. Headline power and torque figures are all very well and good, but if you want to use the car as a daily driver, you need to be sure the car has good cold start, and good driveability through the rev range at all the load sites. I have 2 friends running cars equiped with the qpeng kit (one nr Wimborne, another in mid-Dorset), and they both drive very well - I thoroughly recommend it the PnP kit, and the downpipes. I suspect my friend will briefly be at the TidyVAG meet on the 11th, if you fancy popping over to have a chat about his 1.8t conversion. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
