chris CORRADO 0 Posted September 20, 2005 the BBM kit was direct from america £200 postage!!! AUGH yeah everything was supplied mind u there is a few bits we have modified on the boost return to eliminate the use of 7000000 seprate filters! we just cut the existing boost return pipe and wacked a K&N filter on the end... notmally what BBM want u to do is wack seprate filter on the oil breater ISV and unterneath the throttle body... *sigh* we thourght that was a wast and didnt look very nice this was far better and tidyer! im gonna continue working on the car l8ter so ill get sum better pitures... chat soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lippy 0 Posted September 20, 2005 yeah I was looking at the 16v g60 kit and charger, you done anything similar? bloody hell, it worked out some serious dollar not inc P+P maybe one day................ keep the pics coming mate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keithmac 0 Posted September 20, 2005 yeah I was looking at the 16v g60 kit and charger, you done anything similar? I`ve recently fitted their 16vG60 kit (alternator under charger option) to my mk2 Golf, all the bits were very well machined and finished and John Betz is a very helpful bloke! ?They even supply the Digi1 chip, although my car didn`t really get on with it, think it was an issue with the kents.

Lippy 0 Posted September 21, 2005 keithmac, cool! how long did it take to fit? Did you do any prep on the engine before strapping the charger on? Take it you used the BBM screw charger? Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keithmac 0 Posted September 21, 2005 Had the head off, fitted ARP head studs, stacked G60 gaskets, pegged cam vernier pulley and digi1. I went for the G60 altough having paid top dollar for a recent Jabba overhaul and then having it making nasty noises with only 3k on it I wish I`d gone for the twin screw! G-Werks have rebuilt the G and it`s going great now, plenty of torque! Had a few issues with digi1 so went over to Megasquirt and I haven`t looked back. Went for the alt under chargher option, a bit of work to get it fitted but worth it (you can`t fit the alt in the original Limited position because of the brack m/c).
