    I've seen supercharged VR's running schricks. In theory it's possible, you might need change the switch over point on the manifold, but not sure if you will see any additionsl benefits from running a schrick with a turbo.

    Hi John. Have a look on vag-cat, its an online version of ETKA and should show what your seeking

    The powergraph isn't that good as It has a slight misfire top end so dropped off the power... Over the disappointment now, but probably won't sort it until later in the year... Torque was 183

    Excellent thanks for helping out!

    Well, I've been a little busy on the old Corrado front... Fitted my "tunnel securing kit" that stops the thing waggling about all over the shop as It's a bad design from standard fit. It's quite a neat idea, and its firmly secure again now. I've also fitted new wing mirror glass, which I will create a guide for, as I re-used my existing backing plates to make things easy no point uploading photos as it will just be a reflection of my lovely face These positives are not without a balanced negative though! When I got back from Stanford hall the other day, I noticed that all my oil had been

    Should be something like syntha silver, 10/40 semi or something like that If you get a new tensioner bolt, get the later type with a spring in there too.

    I've upset a few in my old VR's, I know I keep banging on but the 3.68 makes so much difference, and having a lump pushing 220bhp in a mk2 she'll helped too

    Oh it's never done I knew the exhaust was on its last legs. Jobs for the winter I suppose
  17. VR6Pete
    Ahhh well, these things happen, unknown engine at the end of the day, only made 192 after the remap and 186 before... So bit disappointed. Still could be the rings, but won't really known unless the head is off, it's not totally blowing out smoke, just as If your coming off the peddle... Spoiler now works now after some wizardry under the dash.... Also my original exhaust is blowing out of every weld joint lol, showing its age and I need a new rack as its heavy steering when turning right.... Had to get a new outer cv joint as there was a good inch of play in the drive shaft... Best get savin

    You have Ben busy mate lol. You need keep your ISV and damper unless you do a fill obd2 upgrade The only way get your engine bay looking better is elbow grease and lots of it! Engine degreaser etc.... It will look loads better when you re wrap your loom, you can get cloth loom tape from Audi for a few quid a role, I got through over 5-6 roles doing mine The wires on your oil housing is for high / low oil pressure from memory That PAS pipe is looking a danger... But I've seen these on eBay, not sure if you can get from dealers still?

    Didn't do it. It's well down on power and burning oil, suspecting worn valve guides, at 118k they are generally buggered, usually a good head overhaul fixes 60% of oil consumption issues on VR's as they start passing oil at around 80k.
  20. VR6Pete
    Ouch. Bummer. I need a new head for mine. Going get stealth build me one up
  21. VR6Pete
    Great article

    Few people have had MSD packs on here but doesn't really give you that much and can be unreliable, the worst thing is that it'd difficult to get a neat looking install and looks messy in your engine bay. Think the general consensus is to stick with a genuine stock item.
  23. VR6Pete
    Yeah gives you a good indication of how healthy your engine actually is
