Not sure yet, hoping to get it on the rollers this month to find, it is an animal on boost, guessing and aiming for 200bhp to 210bhp

nice, will look out for the results

your idle revs dropping will almost certainly be the throttle body needs cleaning, there is a guide on here how to do it or get garage to do it local one charged me £10 and was perfect after,
get your boost pipes checked there prone to hardening and leaking,
take it to somewhere local to you like r-tech or carbon chip tuning for a health check they will check all pipes and dyno it to see what power your getting

one thing with mk4's is if you have a problem your not alone theres always hundreds of others with the exact same problem there quite predictable,

ahh good news if its an easy fix, ill find the thread for a read, ive had a lot of pipes go on other cars, so thinking about the harder/ performance ones you can buy, could save some faffing in the long term, is it just turbo pipes to worry about, or can you get a kit to replace all pipes under the bonnet?

yeah mate as far as im aware its the boost pipes that need checking and im pretty sure you can buy a full stronger pipe set but someone with more knowledge will point you in right direction, very helpful this lot

What will it cost me for a health check( is that the same as rolling road) and is there anywhere good near Dorset ??

Most companies do that before the remap, not sure on anyone in Dorset.

Hi M4TT B,
               Sorry to be an arse and dig up an old thread, I'm actually after a way to contact M4TTB. Sounds weird I know but I'm after this number plate and when I googled it, there was a link to this thread. I'm hoping he will get an email notifying him of the reply. I am wondering if he fancies selling this number plate to me
A bit cheeky I know but I've no idea how else to get hold of him to ask!

I'm not a stalker don't worry, just another VW fan after a plate for my car,

Sorry again for digging up an old thread,

Cheers all,

Matt B (too)

120000 miles doesn't sound to bad if the car was looked after but my car is at 141000 miles and the bottom end is gone. I would suggest doing an oil pressure test to check the bottom end bearings and also do a compression test to check rings and valves.

oil pressure  when at operating temp
idle   17psi
2500rpm  50-70psi
