Post by: hayesey on July 21, 2009, 09:26:43 am: good stuff! where'd you get that water pipe fitting? It looks much better than mine because it holds the pipe away from the heat of the turbo

Post by: Andy on July 21, 2009, 12:28:30 pm: It's a VAG part from the Passats - have the same one on mine.

I said before Pete, you must get a complete list of all the parts you sell. Weren't you sorting out a website or something?
Title: Re: The dark side................

Title: Re: The dark side................
Post by: Robin on July 24, 2009, 02:52:15 am: I'll have a spec sheet on the car at the Polo Show which will list a lot of PPP stuff some come and have a look!
Title: Re: The dark side................
Post by: Robin on July 29, 2009, 10:08:47 pm: Car is up and running now so will be at the Polo Show.

As a proper G-Lader boy i gotta admit the turbo conversion for me is better than the lader set up, no issues with rev limits, reliabilty etc.

Like other Turbo boys i miss the low down kick from the lader boost and also the toothed belt noise but after doing 100miles in the turbo i can honestly say that turbo was the correct way to go.

Its so much quieter exhaust side of things, more powers and also i don't suffer as badly with wheel spin as the turbo only really kicks in properly after 2500rpm so by then i am already rolling.

Post by: hayesey on July 29, 2009, 10:22:42 pm: nice one rocket, how many boosts are you running? Are you camping at the polo show (el oh el).
Title: Re: The dark side................
Post by: Robin on July 29, 2009, 10:43:06 pm: Running 15boosts mate, i don't have a bigger map sensor yet...........or 310cc injectors!

me and the missus will be camping in one of the rooms at travel inn outside billing like usual...........
Title: Re: The dark side................
Post by: hayesey on July 30, 2009, 02:29:50 pm: I thought you would you wuss.

(not camp that is...)
Title: Re: The dark side................
Post by: Yoof on July 30, 2009, 07:03:10 pm: Robin, like the best of us requires some 'Yoof Diagnostics' time, just to put the finishing touches on it ;)

Car is a credit to Robin, conversion is excellent and we're proud that it wears so many of our bits- come see it at Polo Show on our stand! 8)
