Update on the monster!

Recommended Posts

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 :)

Hi Hans,

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?

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!
