front mounted intercooler?

[Triple D]

Just finished fitting a forge fmic n forge strut brace today ! after a few alterations. I do notice slight lag now in lower revs but holds top end speed so much better. Also the inlet was roasting after a good blast, today it was still cold to touch! definatley worth the money! pops now in lows gears too

Big thanks to spanny (the medic) n Jordan (luke skywalker) 4 there help ! it was a good laugh.

Next comes Revo stage 2 at last

GET A MEDIC YALLLLLLLLL that was a classic mate, was also extreamly suprised at how cold your intake manifold was after your blast, could hold your hand on it for ages, but after say 30 mins it had slightly warmed up mind.

Will be good when you finally get some decent power though matey, you did it in the correct way like me, all the basic stuff sorted first, then up the power

hey nowt wrong doing it the other way lol mine is cold after a blast as well but head up loads when idling need evo heat sheild

yes, mine was on a diesel.

T.Sparks got it now as i sold the car.

But it made the car so much easier to drive in the summer...

Indeed thanks Mr Sissons

Have to admit it seems to have helped top end speed and pull above 4,000rpm in 5th/6th gear's

What will happen in summer? Instead of the car dying due to heat soak, it just laughs and carry's on!?

think u guys have convinced me to get a fmic deffo! once i sort the problem of baldiny tires off on the insede! had tracking checked twice and is all ok but still leaving me with no tread lol

(IF yours is a PD engine) - might be worth finding out what bit you need to get up to PD160 spec... My mate recently had his (otherwise standard) jabba'd up to 205 bhp with ~330 lbs/ft of torque... I have to occasionally slap him to remove the grin

clicky clicky

 

[sooty22]

i have had it re-mapped tho so surely if i start tinkering with the parts needed to boost it to pd160 it will alter the settings may not run right?

 

[jj10]

just a suggestion - you wouldn't be the first to get mapped again to get the best outta new mods...

Searchio on the TDI tuning section should point you in the right direction... Checked out that Allard place for my mate aswell - depending how rich / crazy you are, there's quite a bit that can be done...

 

[jj10]

power aside - my mate's also having mucho problemo with his tracking...

 

[davels]

seriously i can't recomend a proper 4 wheel alignment enough check out the link i posted, i'm not the only one

 

[mexicorich]

So how much lag is being noticed on PDs?
Is it clearly there or just perceptible?

 

[gazjones]

ive not got a pd but mine dropped about 2 psi when i fitted it bu after 30 miles of driving it adapted and was back to how it was before thats the good think with the vw ecu's adapting. think the pd will do the same as well

 

[sooty22]

iv still got this problem of tires running off on the inside..... its baffaling me because iv had it tracked twice and it it pulling slightly to the left,,,, its a mystery lol

 

[ForgeMotorsport]

we could offer you the FMIC and fitting and a custom remap to suit , at a good price at our Gloucester facility

 

[Triple D]

If your inside tyres are wearing down quickly then it could be your control arm bushes being shagged. Possibly be worth a look at that first mate.

 

[sooty22]

but its only about an inch right on the inside of the tread hmmmmm mystery lol

 

[mexicorich]

Yes that typical of toe out geometry
