[butch20vt]

yes mate for them .

 

[Berg]

Right got a new fuel pump coming tomorrow

Ive sent the S3 one back as it seems to be fooked!

Bought one from a 54 plate LCR 225 so hopefully better luck with this one

 

[Berg]

LCR pump fitted this morning

Managed to do the complete swap in about 40 minutes this time

Swapped the floats over, my fuel gauge isnt working now though im thinking the slider isnt touching the circuit board so ill sort that at the weekend

LCR float/sender removed

Unfortunately my fuel tank was full lol so was a bit messy

New pump in

Whey!.. been for a drive yet?

 

[Berg]

Just been out for a blast and it actually feels alot better

Its almost like before it was kind of sluggish as it now seems to pull better on boost

Hopefully this was my problem fingers crossed

Sounds good too, never had so many pops and bangs letting off throttle before lol

 

[James.Judd.1]

The ecu probably needs to adjust to the extra fueling, glad its noticably better though! Gunna fit mine this weekend

 

[Berg]

Is it worth disconnecting the battery for a bit to reset the ecu?

 

[James.Judd.1]

have you not got vagcom?

 

[Berg]

Only the free version unfortunately

 

[James.Judd.1]

well I havent personally tried it myself but I have heard disconnecting it does work.. not sure how long you have to leave it disconnected for though..

Out of interest how much did all your piping for you intercooler cost you in total?

 

[Berg]

Might give it a go and see what happens, 10 mins is enough iirc

The pipework kit was about £70 from ebay

Everything together including the pipework, intercooler, forge map tube, t-bolt clamps, washer bottle etc etc came to around £280

I'd leave it for as long as possible just to be safe.

Cheers, Im thinking of having the same setup just with the 3" cooler but use 2.5" pipework.

 

[Berg]

Well worth the money mate imo

These coolers are rated upto 450bhp iirc, i think philw is using the 3" version, bit of a tighter fit as the are 80mm thick

I havent got an aircon rad so it should be fine.. and yeh for £80 you cant really go wrong

 

[Berg]

That should make it an easy fit then

Fingers crossed ay!

Just fitted mine too mate, pulls alot better all the way through the rev range dont it. And also getting a few pops and bangs on the initial overrun too.

Im gunna do some logs and see if its made any difference.. (probably not haha!)

Also got the same problem with the guage not working
