I think the head will go on but you will need the rods/pistons from the 20v too. The vortex forum is your best bet, i think there are a few guys in the US that have done it. Baz

Do you know what voltage the universal sensors work on? I think the g60 and most vw`s are 1.2v max and most other manufacturers use 1.5v Baz

Thanks Funky, will price up a vw probe and see what price they have thought up. Baz

Hi Folks, I think the heater on my lambda probe is packing up, i have an air fuel gauge and the fuelling is only cycling when i drive the car hard or on the motorway, also mpg is down. Can anyone recommend where i can get a new one as GSF don`t do one and it seems it may be a main dealer only part $$$$$ $$$$$ anyone ever used one of the universal probes? cheers Barrie

I disconnected my blue sensor and the revs went "up" from 750 to 900 ish, I wound the screw in on the throttle body until the idle dropped to about 750 rpm then reconnected the sensor. The car feels better in traffic now smoother and less jerky when coming on and off the throttle, will see if it has any effect on the power problem though. Barrie

This is exactly the same as my car is doing, have tried various things and not made any difference. I do think i have narrowed things down a bit though, it seems to be heat related as when i have been driving in traffic and then get out on the dual carriageway it will do it but after i have been at speed for a bit and some air has cooled that crappy little intercooler down the car will be ok, i guess this could be the ecu retarding the ignition timing ??? :roll: I don`t hear any pinking though and my air fuel gauge and boost gauge don`t show any different readings. I have a 68mm pulley and sns chip with pressure regulator. The car has only started doing this in the hot weather this summer, when did your problems start Lozboz? Am hoping to sort out a front mount soon so will see if that makes the problem go away. Baz

I heard that the 16v mk3 ratios are the same as the 1.8T box. Baz

Be interested to see how it works Olly, i have a PB cam sat in my garage. Baz

The one sat on my bonnet (red one) was much nicer than she looks in the picture, the blonde one was lurvly though. :oops:

here is another pic of mine and a mates corrado taken this weekend which i thought you guys might like. :-P Baz

I would have loved a set of the cronos but i tried everywhere and nobody had any left in 4 stud fitting. :( if nothing else they would have been easier to clean :wink: I think the leggera is a nice compromise though and a bit lighter than the crono. Baz

You have no taste Kev but i admire your honesty Baz :)

thanks for doing the photshop Jim, looks cool 8)

Brian, what offset are your crono`s? ET37? are you using any wheel spacers as my tyres just touch the inner arches on full lock. cheers Barrie

I think i`ll leave well alone, she handles nicely as she is and i`m not 21 anymore :cry: does look cool that bit lower tho :roll:
