Think I should rename Alan to OptimisticAlan .. :grin:

hahah :D
Come on. Remap, Forge DV (not going to give a power increase should help be hold the boost), 3' downpipe, miltek sports cat and carbon speed CAI.
Komenda is running as near as makes no difference the same engine mods as me and ran 270bhp on the rollers. Giving R-tech the benifit of the doubt on not doing that many MK5s I think 264 is do able . . . . :undecided: . . . . just me lol ?
-
Didn't realise you had the d/pipe and cat.. update your sig numpty!
-
lol. Its not on at the moment :( Its getting fitted the morning of the RR. (if you read my post I did mention this at the bottom, love you toph x x)

dammit I wish I could go, I'm pretty sure I've ironed out my problems from last time we went, I cut about an inch off the end of my intercooler to throttle housing hose, I think it was collapsing! It's got rid of the jerking anyways
Good luck to you all though

Hey, careful you don't run out of rev's aswell! :wink:
careful you don't run out of petrol - don't really want to be on towing duties :tongue: :wink:
You won't be saying that when your pipes fall off again! :P
but rhys has uprated clamps fitted now? nothing that cant be undone lol :grin: :grin:
still waiting on the clamps - cable ties FTW :grin: :grin:
they wont last long pmsl can any one bring rhys some uprated jubilee's :grin: :grin: :grin: :tongue:
Would do, but being a petrol, the added weight in the boot will cost me too much in fuel!

Cant wait to see your conversion :)
Yeah? didnt think people would be that interested as now just looks like a 1.8T :wink: made my day that has alan :kiss:
will be wanting a look to dai to see the end result :afro:
cool :cool: :cool: just got to ignore the key marks down the passenger side :cry:
i'v one or two on the front n/s wing if you look close enough that need my attention :angry: :cry: so we are in the same boat :grin: :grin:

was quoted nearly a grand to fix them saving up at the mo to get it done
feck thats some serious key marks :cry:
yep was like it when i bought it the previous owners girlfriends father done it :shocked:
oooer must have been a good argument that :shocked: :laugh:

Maybe 189.6 > 190? ;)
I'm thinking of getting those silver spark plugs...
I was thinking about buying some of those, but today, (due to recent, excessive purchasing impulses), I just nipped upto Halfords & bought a set of the super 4's for £20. :D

Stupidly, to order 4 together delivery is £7. But to order each one individually, delivery is only £1 each!!

Yes, I think he did test them against Ben's old plugs & gained another 7 bhp, but I'm not sure if 'Ben's old plugs' were shot, or what make they were, etc. :undecided:

Ahh yes sorry mate, only way I could think of describing you sorry! :grin:
Hope you sort the boost leak out mate, should get good results when its done!
I think I may have a dodgy MAF or n75 but not sure. Will speak to Nick soon and see if he thinks the MAF is a suspect..
Can't belive how chatty the car is :sad: gonna wash it down tomorrow

P.S I've got a few photo's but missed a load of run's when they were dismantling my ECU :sad: will upload in a minute.

Going to take it back at some point for Nick to look at and try and find those ponies!!! :smiley:

How'd it drive on the way home dubcruiser?
Dd you nail it anywhere? I've got a flatspot in between 3.5k and 4.5k which after more reading up i'm putting it down too a dodgy MAF, maybe similar prob to your's?
Sam

I've also got a bit of a flat spot between 3.5K and 4.5k :( was hoping to break to 200BHP mark.

Sam
It drives fine on the road. Can't feel a flat spot but it is obviously killing the boost.
I checked all the hoses today, put my old (standard) diverter valve back on and cleaned out the air filter and air box which were shockingly dirty and it pulls like a train now. I also cleaned the throttle body, but I am hoping it was the new diverter playing up. I will upgrade it to a Forge to be on the safe side. Would of like to of seen over 200bhp on the rollers and considering its a 180bhp anyway it should of been easy!!
Could be MAF or N75 playing up but will let Nick have a play with it and get it sorted properly :wink:
-
hmmmmm bit of a pattern emerging here. I'm wondering if 3.5-4.5 is where the engine peaks and just at this point the MAF isn't able to cope?
There have been various threads on ukmkivs.net where peopl have experienced similar faults and a new MAF has cured it.. Failing that it's n75 valve or boost leak but i would have thought you would notice it over more of the rev range if it were a boost leak personally especially seeing as we all seem to suffer the same issue, bit to co-incidental to all have a leak with the same result IMO
-
Yeah does all seem a bit similar doesn't it. Could do with a new MAF to try to make sure it cures it as they are bloody expensive!!!
Like you safe if there was a boost leak then surely it would peak and then drop it as in theory it would leak away from the start??!! To be honest I am happy with the way it performs as I am not really into ranting the nuts of it but on the flip side the map should give it around 210bhp so I am 25bhp down which is a fair bit....
-
I'm about 10BHP down. Flat spot isn't noticeable on the road. I'll prboably replace is the boost hoses in die course and may put a new Forge 007p on there.
-
My mate works on VW so i'll see if i can get one on the cheap (ish!) and i'll give it a go. If it works for me then i would think about changing yours. I may try cleaning it first with that isopropyl stuff. Only a few quid so worth a shot even if it only works for a day or two. As you say, don;t want to be spending £80 on a needless part :angry:
EDIT: Mines really noticable when it happens. It's like someone has put the hand brake up 1 notch when giving some welly but lifts off again after 4.5 all the way up too the naughty box (redline)

Think I found my missing horses today. Took it to my mates house who knows a thing or two about turbo engines (Cosworths mainly!) and we tested all the vac and air pipes which were all fine. Actuator working as it should and holding 20psi so nothing there. Then we moved on to fixing my secondary air pump and in doing this checked the pipe from the turbo to the pancake pipe.... Well the thing was covered in oil which shows it was leaking. Took it all apart, cleaned it all up and refitted it properly and the car drives a lot smoother and I can tell its holding the boost (probably because its getting the FULL boost!). Also fixing the secondary air pump means it doesn't sound like a diesel on cold starts now!!
Am a bit happier now!! :smiley:

I'm about 10BHP down. Flat spot isn't noticeable on the road. I'll prboably replace is the boost hoses in die course and may put a new Forge 007p on there.
I may do the same as I then know everything is fitting properly !!

Fantastic! So where is this pipe you speak of?! Down the drivers side wheel arch?
-
Yeah thats the one. The metal pipe runs from the turbo across the back of the engine and then bends down which joins to a rubber pipe with a "5" printed on it which in turn connects to the pancake pipe. The join between the pancake pipe and "5" pipe was covered in crusty oil residue which obviously wasn't sealed properly....

I shall have to have a look, i think mine may also be leaking from the intercooler pipe.

My boost leak commet was a fob off!! lol just kidding m8. Just kidding mate! Bens had the same problem for the past few month, it was only on friday when we fitted his new de-cat we found the oil around the joint on the pipe. This would explain Bens car being 10bhp down at JKMs rr day.
Next time your down this way pop into us and we will put your car on the dyno again for free to see the true result from your AUQ lump and the spec1 map
Glad your happy again m8!!
Nick.

Cheers Nick. I never doubted the map, but always doubted the car. Its never been super smooth since I have had it.
Just been out it in again now, and its getting better all the time as the TB beds in again after a really good clean up.
Will let you know when I am up that way. Probably won't be until June now as I am on holiday in May but I would be very interested to see what she is pushing out now! I think I will upgrade to a Forge 007P aswell though to be on the safe side.
I am well happy!!! And thanks for the support and for putting on a great day on saturday! Think my brother is interested in getting his 150PD sorted after seeing the results so will see if we can bring both cars up at the same time.... :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Tell him to get it mapped!!! when its running sweet its awesome :evil:

I think after seeing yours and Rysho's in the line up he realised that diesels were in favour!!! He was considering selling it before Saturday, now he is up for a re-map!! What the difference a day makes!! :laugh: :laugh:

well seeing mine wouldn't have made him change his mind :angry: Rhyso's on the other hand left its mark on him :grin: :grin:

Hi mate,
Cheers buddy!
Were you the younger lad or the one with the smokey turbo, sorry your piccy in your sig doesn't give it away enough! and i'm rubbish with faces! :grin:
Sam
I was the 'younger lad' at a guess ;) SabreK's was the smokey one..I spoke to you as I was leaving, and spoke to you bout your front lights.
Yeah mine was smoking £20 worth of Castrol Edge! :angry:
I had checked the oil level in the morning and was down to half, so I filled up with 2 litres. Didn't know the turbo sucked it up because the vacum hose had disintegrated. Think that's probably why the turbo died during the first run.
Ran 176 ish with a boost leak (vac hose failure)
Ran 129 BHP 175.6 FT LBS once the turbo had died.
Planning to take the turbo and intercooler out for a clean and maybe and engine flush. Does anyone know if it is a hard job or just a PITA?
Meanwhile I've ordered a KO3S and FMIC ... :smiley:
Thanks to R-Tech and XSpec for hosting this event

Where'd you order the k03s from?

AET Turbos - not many Golf parts in the scrappies round here and MOT is due next week!
bobbarley I'd wait a bit and find a good KO3S at a decent price. Repairs can cost from £200 - £500 at that point you might as well buy a remanufactured unit for £540 plus you would have to send your turbo back.
