Brilliant thank you:) I had looked at them searching google but was unsure. Thanks for the reccomendation:)

Now first of all a big thanks to pgarner for the recommendation of a gt28 turbo rather than the k04 turbo upgrade. Now I've found a dealer who'll offer me a good price on the gt28 and fitting. I don't trust myself on this level of mechanics yet but he's agreed to talk me through and allow me...

Just wanted to say thank you for all the advise:) I no longer have to cringe(and hide my face) when starting the car:D

I had been considering dropping an uprated engine in but the gains don't appear to be worth the investment. Short of fabricating mounts for the r32 engine I don't see a reasonable way of getting past the 300bhp barrier. (If I wanted to go higher) however at that point I think a 4WD would be...

Sounds like a good investment. They're not much more than the ko4. 300bhp is my limit. Don't need much more for the occasional track car.

Brilliant thank you:) ill source some good grease :) any reccomendations or just any high melting point grease will do?

I hadn't considered that as a solution. Damn I think I've got much more reading ahead of me:) do you have figures for your car running the 28? What revs does it kick in at?(spool up) Thank you for the suggestion.

It recently started over cooking the start up. Every time I turn the key it happily starts followed by a brief scream, then back to normal. From reading up I figured it could be an issue with the spring in the key slot not returning correctly (checked no issue) so I can only imagine the...

Hello all long time no post. Not sure what to make of the mobile forums yet:) kind of like it:) As the title suggests would you think copper grease would be suitable for use on cleaning/greasing a rather sticky starter motor? If not what you recommend? Finally got my audi a3 1.8t :) few...

i got my turbo:) however the boot is stuck shut on it any advise? key and key-less entry wont work, do i have to disassemble it? :(

Not harsh at all, I totally agree however the distinct lack of a decent 1.8t that I could find was disconcerting so I figured, I needed a car may as well take that one. Im considering pursuing a small claim in the courts but well see if I have a leg to stand on as technically I took legal...

unfortunately the car i brought appears to have been a dodgy one :( a small spirited run and the turbo blew causing considerable damage to the car going by the repair bill it seems to be a waste of money fixing it up. The company i brought it from have been incredibally good about it all...

Thank you for the responses, I think ill get in touch with you very soon. I think Yuggy may have given me the best approach. What sort of MPG do you think i could expect after a remap, i know its vague because obviously condition of engine, age of car and everything not mentioned above can...

I have an Audi 1.8t 2001(150bhp) I`m looking at remapping it now i use it for my everyday driving car as well so obviously economy is an issue, yet i want to be able to continue using it on the track. My question is, is it possible to have an ecu swap between maps eg from a controller or...

As long as its warm enough to have clear windows I'm happy
