    where's got the best price for a whole set then? found larkspeed on ebay £180 delivered, hows that stack up?
  3. sharky_70
    cool, so as long as its a coilpack engine it should be good from both
  4. sharky_70
    so whats the best engine to go for? are the codes different between the Bora and Golf? im guessing the bora is 'less' likely to have been thrashed :-*
  5. sharky_70
    reckon you could pull this off for under 1k?
  6. sharky_70
    you know it! Kev, this give you the clearance you need? http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4430423

    shame that all the 24v SRI's are over 1k and like you said dsigned for the mk4 platform looking at some pics of the 034 its almost like the turbo would be sitting on top. do you know of any builds where its been used? be good to see one in a 'bay to get an idea
  8. sharky_70
    Kev, would any of those mani's allow you to keep the TIP on the stock mk3/'rado side?
  9. sharky_70
    ive heard of a few other makes but wondered if there's an that do a proper comprehensive kit for the mk3 VR any suggestions?

    if theyre ever bloody in stock...
  11. sharky_70
    £800+ and thats without a 'box. sub 40k though it makes complete sense but it hadnt crossed my mind about the plastic inlet. dont think i'd be pushing anything over that though
  12. sharky_70
    well if its a genuine SPA (which by that shot there's no reason to believe it isnt) and its for RHD, thats the one to use if youre not gonna run an SRI
  13. sharky_70
    ha ha its a whole new can of worms then not just going from lhd to rhd! yeah for my 12v i had a genuine spa, it did look very nice. if the weight was anything to go by it was a good'n. had a feel of the sides too and felt pretty chucky. i know thats an issue with the fakes ive been looking for a decent 24v now but people want silly money, not too shy of a realistic mk4 R32 price which in my book is insane yeah i know what you mean about getting something off the shelf. mine would have to be bolt straight on, minimal fiddling. car has to be done in minimal time. annoying too cos i'll have to ge

    would there be that much difference between the 4mo and fwd DP's then? i know C2 in the US do one. wasnt the Bora over there FWD? i've see a few US bora 24vt set ups but dont go into detail of what DP and if FWD or 4mo. also C2 site doesnt have a pic so cant tell but youve got a decent fab guy so no worries for you there! its funny what you say about the mani's. i know people get their knickers in a twist about copy parts being made cheap in china, but where do they think all the other genuine stuff is made?! looked at the ATP one before and yeah the work on it looks better quality but does it
  16. sharky_70
    Kev i basically posted this cos i knew you would have the answer! ok, so you wouldnt necessarily have to go to a bigger MAF? just a stronger one? and would that work with higher flow injectors on the remap? so im thinking that cos the capacity is the same, turbo choice is gonna be pretty much inline with the 12v and again im guessing ATP is the way to go with the manifold what about off the shelf DP's: likely to have similar clearance problems like some of the 12v stuff?
  17. sharky_70
    so i sacked off my VRT project a few months back and sold the lot. huge regret has ensued but ive been thinking about going 2.8 24v for a while now, and recently starting thinking 'what the heck, turbo that instead' is it pretty much the same principle as 12v turbo? i mean the engine can take a certain amount of boost before you have to go forged? is it still along the lines of drop in a spcer, mani, tubby, uprated injectors and EPROM, FMIC and go play?
  18. sharky_70
    pretty sure jetex could supply all the parts individualy either that or a custom job you might have trouble with the over axle section, where you might struggle for clearance against the body, but i think wither C2 or Kinetic in the US have these off the shelf
  19. sharky_70
    schimmel turbo do them strictly dubs in essex sells them
  20. sharky_70
    yeah them! good to hear a 1st hand review. be nice on an 8J then
  21. sharky_70
    just checked your build thread LOL how you finding the PX4's?
  22. sharky_70
    few inches lower and some spacers on the rear should sit it nicely what tyres you running on them?
  23. sharky_70
    ok i'll have a look later!
  24. sharky_70
    sounds amazing! yeah comes with bracket to support MAF etc but you need to drill to secure the heat shield
  25. sharky_70
    yeah stuck it in yesterday, its not the best fit though i need to drill a hole for the shield to mount its not carbon though its like plastic but not, if that makes sense
