Need a long M12 spline bit for the head bolts.

I know he used to work with Vince quite a bit, remember being at Stealth in the 16v days for a tune up and him being there, yep, clever guy indeed. Went to live in Canada I believe.

Did you ever fit the cams in the Corrado or are they what you're planning to fit into the R32? Yeh, on the mend now thanks. BTW, did you realise Geoff Everett died within the last couple of years?

Here's the graph. It was a proper 4wd rollers not just FWD with Haldex disabled, as I'm led to believe there can be differences in power output with the car not allowing full power on the dyno in 4wd mode. BMWs are the same, M3s/M5s etc need fuses pulling and in some cases a 'dyno-mode' being enabled on GT-1/DIS diagnostics. Might explain peak power only showing as 5540rpm?? vid too! It also went on Awesome GTIs rollers with similar results, don't think I have the graph anywhere for that though. Vid from Awesome GTI, run in FWD mode. As ever 'dyno-lottery' comes into play! Back in the day AmD used to claim 270hp for an R32 with remap/exhaust They used to claim 300hp for R32 with cams/remap/exhaust. This was obviously boll0cks!

I thought the cams/Revo st2 that were done on the same day made quite a difference to mid-top end. Big Boys Toys (now AmD Essex) fitted the cams and put the Revo on, this wasn't without problems as they had a job flashing the ECU as it had been previously done by 'original' AmD in Bicester and had APR trial software at some point. Mixed opinions if back then (2004) AmD could actually flash via OBD port or they did a chip change! They were 'only' the 264 cams and sadly BBT didn't have their dyno back then for any before/after comparisons. I do have somewhere a graph from a dyno day at Chipped UK which is now Viezu in Bromsgrove, it's on my Photobucket somewhere I'll have a look and post it up. Had a weird running issue with the Revo which they sorted out at Daventry (I've been friends with Kev Hall who's worked there from from start for years) Apparently the rev limit had been set at 8k rpm and it had a timing curve suited for race fuel LOL. I think as they were struggling with the ECU at BBT they may have used a file from their VW Cup R32, but that's my opinion.. When I was working for Listers VW I drove a stock one and it felt as flat as a fart. Still have the mk2 but it's been sat there 3 yrs unloved, I've had health issues unfortunately.

They are my dirty fingers on those pics, I wrote that up about 10yrs ago! Kev posted the original on the old Club GTI mailing lists pre-forum days. *holy thread ressurection*

Didn't think I'd ever see the day that you parted with the Corrado Kev! My ex had an R32 from when it was a year old,she had Schrick 264 cams,Milltek sports cats/unresonated system and Revo st 2 map on it in the end, initially had AmD map on it. We took it to the 'ring and did a track day at Spa in the wet, passed pretty much all the super cars in the rain :) Remember seeing 160 indicated on the way back on the autobahn (possibly) *cough* Spa: Over the 4 yrs not a lot went wrong on it apart from a set of coils under warranty and a track rod end which I probably killed on the 'ring going through the Karussell at 50mph+ LOL. Oh and a set of OEM pads every time it went on track pretty much.. Good luck with it, looks a nice example!

Great thread Kev - fellow serial modifier....!

Long time no update - due to one thing and another I've sold all the turbo bits and going to return the car back to NA and just use it as intended. It's been off the road best part of a year and it's time to have some fun in it again.

Does anyone have a Corrado roll cage for sale? :D

This will be nuts with DSG :cuckoo: :D
