    so started reading this thinking 'this should be interesting' http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5021443-Tim-mullen-s-MK3-runs-10.81-131mph-stock-motor-VR6 so in the US their idea of a 'stock motor' has a whopping turbo stuck to it and this 'goes without saying' "OBD2 MK3, 10 point cage, full exhaust, MT 24.5"x8" slicks on 15" wheels, stock piston/rod motor with just arp rod bolts, stock head, TT 288 Cams, Borg Warner 66mm turbo, modified Kinetic turbo manifold, Juan short runner intake manifold, 630cc injectors, made 465whp at ~17 psi and 511whp at 20.5 psi and ran 22-23 psi tops at th

    but what about the expanding bolts? well theyre not bolts but a sleeve you put in the hole, then the bolt somehow and they expand like a rivet so you dont have to get inside the turret to do them

    maybe i'll check the cat then got one to put on anyway

    not the engine as such but the exhaust hoping it was an issue that my long overdue cooling service would sort. but after new coolant pipe, low temp stat, temp sensor, coolant flush and change the car still kicks out a lot of heat when you get out. you can really feel it coming from under the car when you open the door and a few people have mentioned it high EGT's maybe? its stock apart from intake, remap and exhaust water and oil temps both show normal and no running issues

    to make your life easier too gt3turbo are atp dealers in the uk where did you pick this up if you dont mind me asking? was it a one off or a retailer?

    yeah. and im reluctant to take too much notice of the actual numbers, but interesting that it makes more than the 2.5. could be down to the system itself though? i mean they dont have a 3" TT exhaust to test against their own? their own 2.5 might be better still i dont know that 6hp over the 2.5 though is enough to make me wanna shell out for the extra cash for going 3" though

    do a quick search there's a 24v turbo thread in here somewhere or read the numerous VRT threads the principle is the same just different parts

    even if you use 20mm adapters ET12 on a 7j you wont need any arch work done with 195/40 tyres so dont worry about it

    get yourself a proper matched touch-in kit (paints4u do a good range), degrease the panel, dab some paint in the chip so its a nice little blob, harden it off (heat lamp or direct sunlight for a few hours and leave overnight, then get some 2k+ wet and dry thats been soaked and using a block flat the repair off gently until its smooth, then go over the dull area with an RO polisher and some menzerna polish

  15. sharky_70
    thanks for the recommendation, sounds like it would work well really after something a bit more off the shelf though so i can get it easy again if i need also need to think long term if i sell them on itll need to suit other cars

    i think its potentially my aux water pump its a humming noise which i can hear over the engine at idle starts as soon as the engine is running and continues a while after i turn it off i'll have a proper listen under the bonnet but is it hard to replace?
  25. sharky_70
