Been busy this last week with the car, first I got the Eurospec 280mm rear discs that were on the black VR I broke machined as they were quite badly corroded after sitting on that car going nowhere for a couple of years, luckily the car had done hardly any miles with them fitted so they had loads of meat left on them, this was before fitted the black Golf; Discs after being machined by a local machine shop; Next to the standard size disc; Removing the caliper spacer bracket from the old axle, needed a bit of heat to get them off; Old discs and heat shields removed; Then all back together; Th

Had to nip to my mates to get 2 snapped bolts removed Cheeky shot of the VR lump and the B3

I've a keen eye for stuff like this! [emoji23]

I'm sure I see. Some on ebay a little while back and liked them then

Will let you know going to use a heat gun so to try not to crack the paint [emoji58] if not I have someone on stand by to repair it if it goes Pete tong [emoji41][emoji41]

popped up to the car on friday removed the two brake hard lines and attached the turbo to the manifold as well as the tubo inlet facing directly towards the master cylnder the turbo also touches the servo!! so question is if i do like gaz205t suggested and lets say make a 90' bend with two t3 turbo flanges to swing the turbo up out of the way will this really hamper the flow of the manifold and affect performance? some pics of how it looks

There's loads of stuff on eBay to make this kind of thing up, that's where all of this came from It's all from a company called auto silicone hoses, or ASH for short and its all good quality stuff and well priced[emoji106]

No you couldn't of done Bealieboy would of sent me a link[emoji15][emoji16] he definitely would've found them!

Thanks! Yeah so do I and I didn't even know that they existed until about 2 weeks ago! The owner of this car got in touch with me and told me more about them, His are 5x112 though.

Love the bbs's Ben [emoji106]

Thanks men!

Hi guys Thought I would eventually say hi Iv'e been on here a few years now and never really got around to it. I started off with the Mk2 Golf VR6 conversion, and shortly after that I bought a Passat B3 1991 which I love to bits. Been collecting bits to do the VR6 conversion on the Passsat for some time now. So hopefully it will be done by next summer. Its getting a full engine rebuild atm the engine is the 2.9 ABV and thinking about putting the ODB2 loom into to. Here are some pics hope you like. Billy

Ooo, I'd be interested in how you get on with that! [emoji41]

I'm after a fan switch, looking at it the standard thermostat opens at 80 degrees and the standard fan switch puts 1st speed on at 95 degrees. I think its better to change the fan switch and keep the standard thermostat as it will still let the engine heat up quickly but keep things below 90 using the fans

Ordered an arch rolling kit today hopefully have more lows by players :) [emoji108]

Its dead easy mate, I did this a few months ago. My MK was still registered as a 1.8 but had a VR in it. Take it to a local garage and ask them to inspect the car. Then ask them to write a couple of lines on headed paper stating it has been fitted to a good standard and is safe etc.. Then stick a copy in an envelope with the V5, filled out with the engine capacity change, engine number etc, in the relevant section, then in about 4 weeks you will receive a new V5. It's that simple. Pretty sure taxation class wont change neither because of the age of the car. Good luck

Thanks guys. Hopefully the wagon might be on the VR6OC stand next year at VW Festival 2016. Got a lot to do in next 12 months.

I used to run them on my mk4 GTI and it was far from standard had a non too shabby 310bhp and they were fine I thought

It will be lowered more I just want to have the arches rolled first I think ? But we ran out of time today as we're working on both cars , so will get on the lowering next weekend :)

Check the variable valve on vag com or something similar that can cause that type of issue had it on a 3.2 a3 loss of power etc, it should be -5 to + 15 at about 1200 rpm
