What's the limit on the 020?

Not sure  :undecided:

Also might be worth thinking about your clutch as well.

Need to find out then, cos if it isn't then I don't know what my options are...Don't fancy a 16v box dues to the hydraulic conversion, pain in the arse.
Clutch will most likely need doing correct, sachs replacement is about £80 from AVS car parts, comes with the complete fitting kit, not a bad price tbh.

If your looking to turn the boost up in the future might be worth looking at an uprated one.

true, however the standard sachs replacement is pretty strong and for £80 it is a good deal. I'll have to see the budget and time wise.

It will be fine unless you get silly.

Khare, you really have got a bee in your bonnet  :grin:
Can you not buy bolt on charger kits for the 8v, similar to the vr6?
The vr can take up to 300bhp without mods(apparently).
Would the 8v not take any boost without lowering the CR?
