abv79 10 Posted September 4, 2015 @jim.. Halfords in a 1 minute drive from work. I will be going to my local stealers next week for some other bits so I can soon collect some :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abv79 10 Posted September 4, 2015 @Dox.. Would love to turbo it. Love the sound but don't really want wheel spin in every gear lol I will phone see what they say. I know someone else who might want a conversion done to. I already have two turbo cars so might keep this N/A.. Who knows I might sell this next year and start something else :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 13 Posted September 4, 2015 @Dox are stealth still trading ? I emailed them last week about a drive in drive out turbo kit but no reply ? as Jim said give them a phone - they are often very busy I saw n3p's storm (currently in the classifieds here) being turbo'd at stealth whilst my VR was in there having a head rebuild - the build they produce is superb & very well thought out. I belive his turned out around 400 horses IIRC VAG-hag has recently had his storm turbo'd by them as well ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abv79 10 Posted September 4, 2015 @-g0ldf1ng3r . Cheers for the info :).. Is that 400 ponies on race fuel? I've been thinking of running some 101 in mine see if it would make any difference .. I only run mine on 97 bp or 99 v-power but can tell the difference between the two.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 4, 2015 Who machined the block for you? Kev Bacon has mentioned they need to be honed in a certain way to prevent oil usage. Yeah I found using one of them flex-hone things seemed to increase oil consumption. The factory uses plateau honing (taking off the rough edges) so is already pre-run in of sorts, but any decent machine shop should be able to use the correct honing angles VW use and all should be golden.

Thanks, I think you mentioned it on Jims engine overhaul thread, its good to know most machine shops can cope with it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
