My VR6 turbo, Haldex 4wd. The end....

[legvw 0]

Fitted my afr gauge into the middle right vent in the dash, and made an ali plate for it to sit in. Also fitted a 7psi inner spring to add to the 7psi outer thats in the wastegate already.

Boosts upto a bar with no problems, no spiking or over boost yet, got a small flat spot on light throttle, but on boost fuelling is fine. You can really hear the turbo spool up now! Its great!

I'l post some pics later :-)

Thank you people, sorry about the lack of vids but we recorded 1 but i can't get windows to open it? I'l have to get my camera working an take a vid soon.

It does boost creep (did it this morning on the way to work!) so i'm thinking i'm going to have to re-design the exhaust manifold a bit, and buy a 44mm wastegate, so my old 38mm will be for sale soon!

Or... do i buy another 38mm, and use a double wastegate set-up???? Hmmmm.....

[matty.vrt 120]

2 smaller wastgates would be better and cheeper as you already have one

[jims13 6]

or run a electronic boost controller, and ditch a spring, no creep.

[legvw 0]

I suppose thats the cheaper option, by far!

All these problems that i'm having with boost creep etc is making me think my manifold to wastegate pipe needs re-locating so its got better control of the boost.

Right got hold of another n75 (boost control) valve, which works, and its has helped a bit, boosting upto 0.75 bar. Don't get so much creep now, but the creep rate rises with the gears, e.g. very little in 2nd, but in 6th, it creeps upto 1 bar, so don't know really :-(

Anyways, going to fit a clutch switch, so that i can run full throttle gear changes, which will also act as a form of anti-lag! Oh yeah, get some anti-lag on the go!

[bungy 2]

Just come round and pick me up buddy. I've got a small in car camera we can stick to the grill and another sony handycam for in car action. Both tried and tested. Lets get this puppy on film.....

Hope you get it sorted Paul mate and defo take Bungy up on his offer would love to hear/see what this sounds like

[spadam 7]

That sounds good love the pops and bangs of anti lag. Guna have to take me out in it again lol. How does the clutch switch work thn.

[legvw 0]

Well this is how i fitted the clutch switch.

Firstly, find a brake light switch and plug off of and old vw.

And cut the old mounting bracket off (for hole size reference)

The actual hole diameter is right (thanks vw!) it just needs modifiying to accept the brake light switch

Its abit awkward to get in there with a file, so i just die-ground the plate roughly to accept the switch.

Then push and twist the switch in, just like the brake light switch, easy! 1 clutch switch!

All that the switch needs is an earth on 1 terminal, and then 1 wire to the ecu.

The ecu reads resistance along the wire, which is how it knows when the clutch is up or down.

With the clutch pressed, and the accelerator above a certain position (above 75%) it retards the ignition to drop the engine speed, but also keep it above a certain rpm (3500rpm), until the clutch is released and the engine returns to normal.

Simples! :-)

As promise pics of previous work.

Afr gauge.

New N75 valve.

[bungy 2]

So the switch is there for full throttle gear changes.

[legvw 0]

Yes, and can be used as a form of anti-lag.

[spadam 7]

Sounds well smart have you tried it out yet does it work.

[legvw 0]

Did try it out on the way home but it still needs setting up, as with most things! Don't think it retarded ignition enough. But its there to play with ;-)

[matty.vrt 120]

looking good paul defo need some vids up now.

[AJmk2 2]

Really good work , great to see your car is always progressing! Did you ever manage to get a run down the pod?

[legvw 0]

Not yet, but hoping to soon.

Went out last night for a 'drive' with bungy (hope your cars ok mate), with both digi cameras, and i think its safe to say we both had large grins on our faces!! :-)

[bungy 2]

Excited at getting home tonight so I can post the video of your anti-lag. Sounds awesome.
