AJmk2 2 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Pretty sure the eaton m90 was made as a kit years ago but then the company that made them stopped so cant find them anymore. So all new ones are diy. Could be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites

rodney 17 Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Sweet and good luck... (h) dont forget your (um) old chap... Give Sparkz or NS racing a go for charger kits and info. The Eaton kit is non standard so a lot of parts need to be made up/gathered. Stealth and the Phirm are always good to talk to.. They are all listed in the company section on here and with luck they will become hyperlinks straight to it anyway... They are garages so can point you in the correct direction for the parts before you arrive. All very good companies in the south(-ish). There are others North and I am sure the Northern chaps will be on soon to offer them up..I cant remember where but there is a build thread somewhere on the Eaton option... may be worth a PM to the Admin team as you are not local to be a premium member Subject to how long you are here check the shows section as you are around in show season ... Also if you are London way and still here. Last Tuesday of every month is Ace Cafe night. The sun should be out by then So some of the "London Massive" LOL will be out with their specials...If you can get your Cousin to post PVW and Golf+ to you that will have the main companies to get kit from listed in their adverts. So you can set yourself up before you arrive.... should have show listings aswell.Finally let us know as your plans develop and I am sure you will be able to meet us at an event or two....http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewforum.php?17http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/yellowpages/yellowpages.phphttp://www.ace-cafe-london.com/TTFN...

Rayhoop 0 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 hey dude, hopefully the weather will be good for you when you come to visit!I always thought VW tuning parts were better value in SA? I used to know a few people from SA at my previous work place who were into VWs, and thought the bits were cheaper out there??? I guess some rare bits will be easier to find here or in europe, so might work out cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites
yakuza racer 16 Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 well the rims we dont have, the carbon fibre tappet cover, obd1 intakees, throttle bodies and almost all suspention parts are WAAAY cheaper in the uk, from what i have seen so i'll be doing my excluvie shopping by you fella's Link to post Share on other sites
