Quick 1.8 Turbo question
« on: 17 January 2008, 00:20 »
This is going to sound totally boy racer, but i was thinkin about gettin the 150bhp 1.8 turbo gti, can it have a dump valve to go www tish?

Laugh at me you may, but im sure there is 2 types, and one does, one doesnt.

Cheers

it can....i think forge provide one that provides the recirculation like the boch divertor and emmits a sound, be wary of other dump valves as they will effect the ecu as they wont divert/recirculate the air as the standard part does, im still learning with these thinsg so im sure someone else can clarify for me!
here is the forge part

turbos are awesome, its my first and i love everything from the whine when speeding to the pssst you get when changing gear (although as standard its subtle and with the 007 non exsistent) then theres the boost and the potential to tune to your hearts content! id say go for it mate! although im sure i wont be saying that when mine dies lol. im getting remap tomos from custom code so i'll be posting to tell of the results stay tuned  :laugh:

Correct me if im wrong but surely the 0-60 is not that different between the two, 1.8T 8 SECS ? MK3 8V 9 SECS ?
