whats been done to your golf altogether then barry?.. got any pics/advice on the 4x4 tranny conversion?.
i know the boot floor panel needs changing..
also on the topic of nitrous, if rods were upgraded then progressive shouldnt really be needed i would assume.
if i were to fit before the rods were fitted i would only fit something like 30-50bhp jets to keep it under the 300 bhp margin.
long term plans are to build an engine that can handle it, or give up the cars altogether and buy a shopping wagon.

Won't it be quicker and cheaper dropping a 18T into a 4mo?
I also want to give nitro a go!  :evil:

the nitrogen element of nitrous oxide acts as a cooler once the particles split  :wink:

how much would it cost to buy a 4mo, plus all the work to swap all the mods over, i think it`d be easier to get the running gear, exhaust and boot panel from a 4mo.. i could be wrong. but finding a decent 4mo for the right price isn`t going to be easy.. i`m tuning in poverty don`t forget  :laugh:

Yeah but burning the nitrous get very hot and can melt things haha
I know people use it but personally I wouldn't use it u less I was willing to cause damage or I was using meth for cooling  :undecided:

i dont mind it breaks, plus if you get the fueling right its not so bad.. i`m not looking for massive gains from it. just looking for an alternative to getting to the 300bhp barrier.
WMI might come later on or before, i`m currently looking to upgrade the hotside intercooler pipework before any of those plans come into place. :lipsrsealed:

Yeah I guess as you have said just using it for the small push then it shouldn't be a problem but if its going to be used with anger I would be carful  :wink:
