g60_Russ 0 Posted February 28, 2004 Haven’t posted for a while, so I thought Id give everyone an insight into what’s been done to my corrado lately... which is starting to become a bit of a monster! Had its Mot in January & failed on shocks - so whilst replacing those I had it lowered -40mm. And it wasn’t running properly so I took it into the guys at G-Werks who sorted that & also found that I was only getting about 5psi boost at 3000rpm so this had to be addressed. After some great advice from Darren, I booked it in for the following stuff: Investigate lambda / boost leak Fit SNS chip Set up car Remove boost return Remove carbon canister K&N breather system Blanking plate I’m now getting 11psi boost at 3000rpm! (I think that's correct :roll: ) Also found out that I already had a 68mm pulley & Jabba chip in there, but replaced the Jabba chip with an SNS one :wink: It’s totally transformed the car & I’m soo impressed! Next on the list is an oil cooler :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hans G60.nl 0 Posted March 4, 2004 G60 russ, whats your experience with the G&S springs ??? i have 'm on mine too, but i can't really say i am crazy about it, i think the front springs are quite weak... the lowering looks good tough ! before anyone starts asking, the wheels are TSW Imola 17" x 8j et35 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt GTi 0 Posted March 4, 2004 Just running std shocks with some -40mm springs from German & Swedish Whats the ride like on that set up mate, is it fairly harsh? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60_Russ 0 Posted March 4, 2004 Hi Hans, whats your experience with the G&S springs ??? i have 'm on mine too, but i can't really say i am crazy about it, i think the front springs are quite weak... I find the springs on the front a bit weak, it bottoms out quite easily when you hit a harsh bump & I also find myself bouncing all over the place if I go over a sucession of bumps in the road whilst accelerating. However saying that I agree that it looks good, ive got no rubbing & the overall ride quality is not too bad. Does the above answer your question as well Matt GTi?

Matt GTi 0 Posted March 4, 2004 Yes mate it does thanks. I may have to bite the bullet and go for coillies then. Not liking the 4x4 look much at the minute! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
