  1. yeah i appreciate that would replace the rings as a matter of course anyway just wanna know what my options are
  2. hoping to find 2nd hand really so i can keep the costs down if i can find an equivalent injector from another car i'd rather do that
  3. really nice work! love the textured black finish on the mounts etc. is that powder coated or sprayed? what FMIC did you use?
  4. ha i was at the Eurotek open day! vaguely remember the car good to see its gone VRT! as LadVR asked whats the specs?
  5. what cars did these come on as standard? or their equivalent? looking for budget options on VRT
  6. just seen there's a load of VRT stuff on E38 for sale forums SPA rhd mani, ATP rhd mani, chargecooler, Tial W/G and BOV nothing to do with me a might ad just know a few peeps on here are putting stuff together so thought i'd let you all know
  7. could anyone let me know the part number for a '96 plate Highline ABS ECU? thanks
  8. have done mate and im prepared to take it to a machine shop to get it checked out. thanks for the heads up
  9. been offered a genuine SPA item for good money from someone who got it direct so hopefully that will be better
  10. its the british way i did have a look but i couldnt find who it might be so i thought i'd cut out the middle man, ie me
  11. so im reading pretty much everything VRT related at the moment and came across this US Vento dunno if you lot have clocked it before http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=3158428&page=9 i skipped through to the latest stage of the build about half way through
  12. oh rly? could you drop him a line and see if he does one for the mk3? i guess it would be the same though as you use the VR crossmember in the mk2 conversion anyhow, right? i had a look on there but cant be arsed with the whole registering with another forum malarky
  13. seen a few solid front mounts on ebay.de used one on my mk2 8v. i know it transmitted more vinration through the chasis but it sharpened up the response no end anyone got any experience of them on a VR?
  14. that must be cos you get there quicker you use less petrol lol good to hear its all sortable. great thread and glad to hear its working out as a daily too. what i needed to hear!
  15. from garrett site... Blow-Off (Bypass) Valves The Blow-Off valve (BOV) is a pressure relief device on the intake tract to prevent the turbo’s compressor from going into surge. The BOV should be installed between the compressor discharge and the throttle body, preferably downstream of the charge air cooler (if equipped). When the throttle is closed rapidly, the airflow is quickly reduced, causing flow instability and pressure fluctuations. These rapidly cycling pressure fluctuations are the audible evidence of surge. Surge can eventually lead to thrust bearing failure due to the high loads as
  16. not too clued up on that front! from reading kevs DIY it isnt just a weakness in the mani but the ports are poorly alingned and the face didnt sit perfectly flush. did consider it was a bad batch but youre right, the way the name was ground off it does look like a knock off one of the major components though so im willing to pay for one with a guarantee
  17. from reading through kevhaywires DIY the downpipe doesnt look over complicated. just a few pieces from jetex and a flex section, then your choice of fitting for the end, v band, 3 bolt etc. and then the wastegate dump tube and lamba boss. thought you could prob mod a wg screamer pipe to fit, would already have the correct boss, and lamba just a case of drilling the hole and getting a good weld still hearing mixed stuff about the spa though, its still on the maybe list for me but would need to get it guaranteed as rhd
  18. ha ditto! ive stopped and started more times than i can remember. still not decided about the mani and DP yet
  19. yeah, you can clock it http://www.team-integra.net/sections/articles/showArticle.asp?ArticleID=1146
  20. have a look in m thread about LHD to RHD re: the ATP mani. been told you can use it but youll have to rotatae the turbo through 180deg so the turbo clears the TB on the standard inlet. you also have to sue the ATP downpipe which picks the exhaust up from the drivers side instead and youll have to relocate your intake/MAF to the pass side
