B-Man 16 Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I don't have any pics but it's quite simple to do it's just take off your front engine mount completely off the crossmember take it apart slide the old rubber of the stem inside get 4 ice hockey pucks drill out the hockey pucks center and put it back together job done, and repeat the same with the rear engine mount..O.k thanks...interesting method,didnt know they that strong!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

B-Man 16 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Ive bow been told I might need a shortrunner for my pipework to work (bought the turbo as a kit with pipework). Is this the case or can the standard intake manifold be used? Id prefer to use the standard if im honest and maybe just play around the pipework if this is possible??Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
daveyboy 897 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I haven't turbo'd mine yet and haven't really looked too deep into it but you should be able to use your standard inlet manifold you'll have to play about with your pipe work. A short runner would be better mind Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

Plus I want to keep the original intake look if I can....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
daveyboy 897 Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Like I say it should be fine. The lads on here turbo'd there VR's will know better. Your best bet to ask would probably be one of the OC mods, Gethan (VIW28) he seems to be pretty clued up on the turbo side of things mate Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

B-Man 16 Posted November 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Am I just being daft...but why is this a 2 piece when the original is a one piece? Am I suppose to use a reducer or something to join them?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Yea that's supposed to be one piece hose, you could just get a double ended metal hose connector to join them up. Link to post Share on other sites

Russvrt 85 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Have you lowered the compression? What management are you going to be using?.Looking good so far,,good luck Link to post Share on other sites
B-Man 16 Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 Have you lowered the compression? What management are you going to be using?.Looking good so far,,good luckBeen told I can run 300bhp without the spacer so ill be doing that for now untill I replace the clutch etc to step up the BHP.630cc injectors.4" maf Ecu remapped to 300-600bhp depending on what boost I run.But the end goal is 550-600bhp....after some more work. For now im just going to enjoy the 300-320. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Russvrt 85 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 With the gt35 it will be hard to just run 300hp ,at just 8psi you will be near 360 hp I would just put a spacer plate in to be safe if it was me ..From what I've read the vr doesn't like boost at standered comp..

Swivelonit 119 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I thought about doing the same, running low boost etc but after speaking to people on many forums it is easier and not much more expensive to whizz the head off and fit one of these. United Motorsport will sort you out with it. I am staying with the standard clutch though, change it if it dies, I am also looking for around 350-400 bhp. Link to post Share on other sites

Are there any DIY posts on here for fitting a spacer? Link to post Share on other sites
Daverse 175 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Look at the diy turbo guide by Fishwick in the garage section. If your comfortable doing a headgasket its a case if just bolting everything back together. Good chance to fit ARP bolts as well Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk VR6Pete 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Russvrt 85 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 There not too difficult to just follow a head gasket guide but fit your spacer between a split mk4 3 piece head gasket,,I have used genuine head bolts in mine as read they are fine till you get over 500hp ish ,only negative is that they can't be reused like ARP bolts..Hope this helps..
