Title: Remap Booked 30th May
Post by: jockgti on 26 May 2011, 14:27: Got gordon booked in on monday at Star Performance in Kirkaldy,can't wait also ordered some silicone hoses and a new TIP all in red and when I get home the inlet is coming off and getting painted,then I'll have to work on the head,cleaning that up,best to take coils out before cleaning?just use some degreaser? Then I'll scrub and dress the other black plastic bits.Was gonna add a pic but can't figure out how to on mobile so I'll leave that just now.suspension should have settled nicely by the time I get home from my hols,no knocks or bangs still a slight noise from exhaust hitting something so I'll check that out,new forge with blowoff working fine and nice little whoosh noise and no EML,s yet,still need to paint calipers,so hopefully it will all be done by the time I go back to work.

Post by: jockgti on 31 May 2011, 22:41: i tried and failed to carbon wrap them,just need to get time to paint them might try tomorrow,pressed plates are on route,is the best place to get an inlet manifold gasket vw? and i can't find a ko3s turbo refurb kit anywhere,wheels came out nice,wife got them powder-coated for my 40th,i've chipped one in one of the nut holes while taking wheel off,nothing major tho.

Title: Re: Remap Booked 30th May
Post by: jockgti on 02 June 2011, 13:31: emailed guy that mapped my car to say i forgot to tell him i have the 007 forge with blowoff which has an adjustable top,which on standard cars should be set at 16 clicks and for stage 1 should be at 21 clicks(but theres some tech stuff i don't quite get).it talks about if the valve fluttering is felt at full boost throttle lift,this is typically an indication that the valve is adjusted to stiffly or if the valve is leaking under wide open throttle before the specified redline of the application is reached,it typically means the valve is adjusted to softly.

WTF does that mean lol,should i just put it to 21 and leave it? or ?

as for the turbo repair kit the one i posted a link to is the correct one,guy got back in touch.
