Thanks matey I will pass this on to him and see how he gets on

He's text. apparently there's one at the navy base but not the army. He's at southwick park army base. So if anyone knows of someone reliable down Portsmouth way recommendations would be appreciated.

I'll ask him. I know there's a fishing club lol

Is there anyone in Portsmouth who can recommend a mobile mechanic. A couple of weeks ago we replaced the gearbox on my step sons Mk3 GTI, It was fine for a couple of weeks but he's had to be recovered as he says the bolts have undone on the off side drive shaft. He's in Portsmouth on military police training, at the army base there. I'd go help but unfortunately Im a fair distance away. Looking for a reliable mobile mechanic who wont rip him off. Cheers Matt

Does anyone know of anywhere with real empirical testing of premium priced turbos like garrets versus lower priced turbos such as Holsetts (not ebay chinese rubbish) Id be really interested to see a Garret vs Borg vs Holsett on exactly the same platform to help make more informed decisions when buying.

What sort of set up are you running bu the moment mate?

As a compromise I've seen a number of people mention the soft compound toyo 888 being good for drag use. Out of interest anyone here tried them?

Interestingly the link to the DTA site with Brian Kerchbergers car says hes running a "stock" engine just with a head spacer... If he is it must be right on the limit, on the Schimmel site it says hes running 34 psi..

Are there any vr6 turbos running 10's in the UK that anyone knows of.
