homemade mk1 golf caddy (4motion 4wd /holset hx40 ,,turbo resto,56k warning

ive hit a problem , lol any ideas how i cure torque steer lol , soon as the boost kicks it , its near inpossible to keep straight lol , so today i thought i best remodify the brakes , and added a mk2 16v servo/slave only thing most may just do a near direct bolt on ,but due to the exhust and header tank , i had to re mod it lol

and that pin that holds the arm in place was a twit to get out lol

once fitted

had to chop a bit out of the header too

job done brakes dont seem any better considering but its a bit late to go back now ,,
the 4wd makes a right differnce when i floor the engine lol, nothing seems to be catching either lol

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

What an awesome project. It just doesn't get boring, you make it look so easy and so simple. Hats off to you, serious engineering work gone into this.

well my homemade idea held well , lol but sadly the engine didnt i only got it tunied to 8.7psi of boost and i ended up with engine crank failure ,,, , engines now buggard the oil pump , all the shells, mains, crank , and trying to locate anothe engine if anyone has a 2.8 24v or 3.2 24v mk4/5  engine can anyone asist ,,,

[DubFan]

That's a real shame.
Hope you get some replacement sorts as this is a great project.

Obviously this would be a great car for the winter, 4wd in the wet and ice weather would be very useful and lots of fun in the dry too.

Work in Nettos? You've gotta be sh!tting me! You should be an engineer or a fabricator! 

This project is just brilliant! I keep going back to it coz if there's a problem you just make something else!!!
