MaidenVR6 26 Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I was driving along to work in 6th gear. Wideband was pending from 10-12AFR......I tought, well here we go again with boost leaks :banghead:3 minutes I drove like this, when the gasoline smell came. Stopped the car and gasoline was floating all over :facepalm: One injector had gone out of the fuelrail, and was spraying the engine bay. I have a heat blanket and a fire extinguisher in the car. Just to be safer. Closed the hood, and waited for the tow truck to pick me up. 227GBP to get the car home :wave: Insurance only bring the car to the nearest workshop. I wanted the car home asap.Hope these will last longer than the regular Powerflex control arm/wishbone bushing.Just a old Golf...... Link to post Share on other sites
MaidenVR6 26 Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Yesterday I took the day off at work and got some parts fitted. New oil pump, mounted the Powerflex buschings and got a new set of tires. Federal RSR semi slics. Same sort off wheel that Toyo R888s....Result? Tight and presise handling. Better steering wheel feeling and the grip is very good. Running only 20 psi, but it rips pretty good on the road and in the streets (a) ProMaf software setup runs very good. Super happy.The 1.06 T3 housing on the GT35R is a perfect match for the 12V.Its useable and really playfull. Been driving 12000 kilometers this summer. Zero issues.Im not a big fan of show off people and big talkers. I hate that.But I need to say.... When the boost is between 20-30 psi, this car is a monster in the streets. Some cheap chinese tires. Tyre pressure was perfect, but it had 3 holes in it, like you see in this pictureFedreal RSR 215/40 - 17"New dailydriver family car. 2012 Skoda Superb combi. 2.0 TDI with 02Q 6 gear. Really like how this car drive. Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Great dedication and perserverence :-)What caused the fuel injector issue?Those wishbone bushes look like a similar design I used several years ago and they work brilliantly - http://www.vibra-technics.co.uk/vw/golf_jetta_vento_mk_iii/388/VAG810B/front_lwr_arm_rear_bushes_single Link to post Share on other sites
MaidenVR6 26 Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Thank you very much.Injector issue was because the material solution I went for to hold the fuelrail was to weak. So in time, the injectors pulled more and more out. Until one day....Really like the 24V :R engine in your Corrado. Looks stock with it Link to post Share on other sites

delete-me 1 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Since most fuelines,silicone hoses and paint are black in the engine bay I decided to clear it up a little bit. I wanted a new fuelpressure regulator, and I have been ending up with this Fuelab 52501, AN6 In/out like the rest of the fuel system. Link to post Share on other sites

MaidenVR6 26 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Turbo off. Not sure if the Turboservice company can measure the air flow before/after with the billet wheel installed.They are gonna balance it on and take a look at my 5 year old turbo. It looked in very good shape when i took it off. No shaftplay, no damages to any wheels. Hope it will last for more years. For a fwd street car that are not driven so much on the freeway, the GT35R is very good. If I lived next to the highway, it would felt a little short.. Link to post Share on other sites
