Is that 3rd flat out? No way do you have 4 psi at full chat unless something is broken or not reading read on that app, 4-6psi is cruising pressures.

A 130 will feel faster as it spools up quicker, but you'll hold the torque for longer than the little 130 snail turbo.

If yours is slower then maybe the map needs a tweak? Without seeing it I can't help with that or vcds logs I can't say much more

Hey Adam good to see your back mate, my highest boost pressure was 21.3 in third gear flat out, that sound right? I can't get the HP to work on torque app just says no data

Always about just lurking in the background.

Doesn't sound very high only 1.46bar, but these apps refresh so slow on these ecus so unsure that's right pressure, best to use vcds mate

Have you checked all your boost pipes are seated correctly and not half hanging out?

Done that all yesterday, I have a few pics on what I took off and cleaned. Anyone have any ideas on what my boost isn't at full chat! What should the pd150s get to (psi/bar)?

Yeah 21.3 bar, 4.0 psi is the highest I can get it, I'm using my pro torque app with a rooted nexus 5 so I changed the commands of the phone to put all its beans into fast transfer for the app. Could my turbo be goosed would this affect it?

Hey guys just thought I'd put some pics up of my work on the 225 steering wheel I grabbed from here a week back.
I used hardly any of the repair kit so if anyone is interested in buying it I'll be popping it on parts for sale tomorrow. Thanks all.

As it stood when received

First repair

4 hours later all done with a satin finish

Don't think so buddy. The pcd is correct but the spigot size is too small so they will not fit onto the hub. If the wheel is too big then you can fit spigot right go however if they are too small then it's a no no.
Check out this website, I found it years ago and it is very useful.

I believe that is the same one that the Golf Mk5 uses. Anything is an improvement on the standard component, unless you like the juddering wiper of course!

 

[Claki]

I use the Fabia rear wiper. No issues and i think it looks much cleaner than both the old and the 'upgrade'

Err wtf!! Anyone know why my pads are wearing massively from the top and not bottom? Here's some pics.

Brake pads have tapered edges from new on both the leading and trailing edges, or at least genuine ones do. So long as the overall depth of the pads wear more or less equally side to side and inner & outer pads, that is normal and nothing to worry about.

 

[Claki]

Mine are the same mate. im running EBC Redstuff pads on TT calipers And they look identical to yours!

 

[supersticky]

Really!! Sorry guys but it can't be right surely, look at the brand new disc its already got some sort of mark on them, also the inner of the discs haven't been touched with the pad only the top.
