craggsy 91 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Is it just the angle of the pic that makes the rad filler cap not look like highest point in the system Link to post Share on other sites

michael5556 247 Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Is it just the angle of the pic that makes the rad filler cap not look like highest point in the systemProbably just the angle but it is. As the top hose from rad is on a 90 degree straight out of the rad and dips under the boost pipe. Will get you a photo of it. Link to post Share on other sites

ashmk3 0 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 It runs? Panels look goo mate. Top job. Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 It runs? Panels look goo mate. Top job. If I said it runs, I drove it home today. Broke down twice. Maf unplugged ran much better. Was running very lean before. But wouldn't let me give any more than 1/4 throttle. Steering was making a horrible noise too. Crankcase breather smoke was coming into the cabin. Also brakes need to be stamped on which is strange for mk4 288's... Link to post Share on other sites
ashmk3 0 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Yh crankcase breather I just run one straight to the ground and cable tied to the steering rack. Brakes wise there should be plenty of power from them :/ you bled them? What servo etc you using cuz mine were fine in the mk2 and they were standard mk2 8v brakes. Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I'm going to re-route it back into the intake before turbo.And yeah but I might rebleed ten to double check. Might hit them with a rubber mallet to see if they are stuck on a little. More updates tonight hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites
