Title: Ex Designa Dubs bloke Paul tidies up my engine - for free!
Post by: Dizzie on 05 February 2005, 17:47
I'll save on the talking and just goto a pic. This was all done out of the goodness of his heart. All those blue bits he put on to fix leaking hoses. He removed the bits of loom that I'd never connect and had a fiddle with my turbo setup  :wink:

(http://www.dizzie.biz/golf/samco.jpg)

it's now running 15psi of boost which comes in a little late, but I've been told the lag will get better with time. Just waiting for the ECU to learn lol. We did have it running 22psi, but it would of killed itself if we'd left it like that. Putting out 220bhp and boy does it go when you have the revs 5000rpm+

btw, the air filter isn't mine. but I'll be buying one like that asap.

Glad things are getting sorted, WTG to paul for helping you out.

Like the air filter, now where have I seen one like that!!! lol

You know the 20v black cover, doesn't it fit on when the engine is fitted to a mk2? Just wondered why no one uses them. thought if you could get one to fit in there it would smarten the look up even more?

Looks like the cover would be too tight against the vacuum line to the dv, although it can be cut along the line of the bulge in the top corner, like i did to mine.
