Title: 2 q's one about turbo other tyres
Post by: vw-8v on 06 March 2011, 18:58

1st  looks like i may need new turbo well it seems to be pointing that way and if it does need it is there another way of upgrading the turbo? ie a 130 turbo? would it fit my pd 100 atd engine? and is that all i would need ie no fmic?

second been looking for 2 front tyres and i have had alot of different ones over the years contis, toyo prox, good year f1's but as money tight i have at mo nankang ns2 on and since there only for the summer thay give great grip. also read review for these

i had kumhos on my mk3 and there were pretty good  in the summer so any one else had these as cheap and seem decent reviews

and yes i kn ow i should spend more as it the only part car is contacting road but i cant just now so  opionions please

cheers

If money is tight just get a pair of buget tyres from any fast fit centre, get the cheapest they have. Iv pretty much always did that regurdless as Im a skin flint ;) or even better get a pair of part worn tyres! Place near me does tyres with 80% + grip left for like 10 to £15 a tyer fitted.
