I didn't buy it all at once mate otherwise i may have gone without food and clothing. I bought the relevant bits over the past 6 months or so and then set to work.Forgot to mention that we started this on Friday afternoon and it was pretty much back together and fired up first turn of the key late on Monday evening. It should have been Sunday but we had a gearbox issue that held things up.Kevin Link to post Share on other sites

spindat45 0 Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 looks sweet' date=' have you took your dub for a spin with the charger on? lol.... im jelous [/quote']Yes mate. Took it on a midnight cruise around London last weekend . It's in definate need of a re map as its doing gallons to the mile with the generic chip fitted but it goes like something smelly off a shovel. Once you hit about 3500 rpm it just pulls smoothly to the red line and sounds lovely. Less induction rumble and more exhaust note and charger whistle at high revs. I would highly recommend poly bushing front wishbones whether you are going forced induction or not. The front end feels so much more stable in and out of bends and on bumpy roads.Kevin Link to post Share on other sites
spindat45 0 Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 kev what do u think it will make 250 bhp +nice work sparks and kv and good luck at stealthThanks PeteThe engine is low mileage (48k) but stock and as it's only a stage 1 charger, if it does make 250bhp with the decat, the Miltek exhaust, and a re map, I'd be happy.

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 just read through this - very nice car mate loads and loads of work gone into it and it showsWish I had found this thread before me and Jim put my charger on as we just bodged it with a little help from the interent and a terrible drawing of the way the large belt should go !!!! What bhp did your car make with the decat ?Are you tempted to go to stage 2 ? you probably know of them already but these guys are incredibly helpful and have all the spare parts for these chargers http://www.ruf-kompressoren.com/wb/pages/en/home.php?lang=EN Link to post Share on other sites
