VIW28 29 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Are you not running an uprated clutch? I think you'll find you'll need to therefore would have been better with the engine and box out altogether. Also, with that turbo exhaust manifold you will more than likely need a short runner intake due to turbo orientation fouling on OE inlet mani.Have the chains been done on this engine too? Good time to replace if not, especially at that mileage. Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 And id change that crack pipe too whilst its easy to get too, get a nice shiny metal one Link to post Share on other sites
Poriordan 97 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Short runner is a deffo and I'm going for a new crack pipe aswel and as far as chains these were changed by previous owner and look to be in good condition I was gonna leave the clutch until its up and running and do a rebuild on the gerbox and clutch later on I know it will have some slip but just trying to break it in to manageable sections lol Link to post Share on other sites

matty.vrt 120 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 It's a simple job of putting it in the place of the standard pump, I've used zip ties before, chemical metal. I would advise you reuse the standard piping as the little rigid pipe you get is useless. Link to post Share on other sites

vr6guy 29 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 not sure on the fuel pump, think theres a thread on how to fit one on this site somewhereid definately get the clutch done as it will slip and wont put power down! as i had aabout 400bhp then turned boost back down to 300 and still slipped badly. id also do something with the brake servo pipe at the back above where the turbo will be as it might melt (as did mine ) good work so far though keep up the build!
