    N75 Valve

    No, I didn't read replies above mine other than OP, but reading what you said prior to me it would be hassle for both of you should the valve be faulty (it does happen from the factory from time to time, I had a broken one from VW direct). In regards to gift, was a reference to the recent shut...

    N75 Valve

    I can vouch for GermanAutoPartsDirect.co.uk. 100% genuine, you have a receipt for the part & you're backed by PayPal as you'll be paying for goods and not sending a gift (which is silly as you have no come back).

    re position of dv

    Does removing that strip actually let much heat out or just let rain it? As for Atmospheric DV's, there are a few AMK/BAM owners over on SCN running twin piston types: HKS SSQV, Forge 004, Bailey DV26D. Then there are many of us successfully using hybrid valves: Forge Split-R, GFB 50/50 &...

    Car Parts In Luggage

    Hmmm ok, thank you. The tuner is local to where I am staying so I'll be talking to them face to face & I hope to find a way to fiddle this a little, especially the diff as that's the best part of £1000 to buy here vs £600 over there.

    Car Parts In Luggage

    Hi all, In a matter of weeks I will heading out to the USA to enjoy the remainder of my Summer and while I am out there I plan to source some car parts, an ATB differential & some Conrods to be exact. With the exchange rate as it stands now and will most likely stand in 3wks it will mean that...

    S3 Remap, R-Tech or AMD?

    I've had AMD Stage 1 & AMD Stage 2, both have been perfect. Both run on hot days... Stage 1 - 260bhp/299lb-ft Stage 2 - 290bhp/326lb-ft Stage 1 was smooth but punchy low down and lost it a little up top, Stage 2 is another ball game all together with power all the way through, 290bhp peak...

    Boost Issue - It's Flat

    Crazy day & one I don't want to relive, the bad luck reminded me too much of my Peugeot owning days. If you notice a crack in any pipe that is related to boost then you need to get this fixed. A pin hole in a boost pipe can potentially lead to big power losses. I recommend bypassing the N249...

    people with lowered cars, need your help

    If it's anything like the Leon, you need to buy shorter drop links too.

    Modified 2001 S3 (Pic Heavy)

    Uh oh, I better change my route :p. I'll be bombing up that way 8am-ish tomorrow morning on my way to AMD in Essex for some fine tuning, I'll try to creep up the hill so I don't wake you.

    HELP! New MAF now = crazy overboost and backfire through inlet!

    I have no idea what your car is running but £230 for a MAF? Surely not...what is it from?

    Modified 2001 S3 (Pic Heavy)

    I'll have to keep an eye out for yours too, I drive up and down Church Hill a fair amount...well on a Sunday, the only time I use the car. You'll hear me coming :p, surprised you haven't.

    Modified 2001 S3 (Pic Heavy)

    Looks really good. I am very local to you, Nutfield to be exact but have never seen you around. I have a yellow Leon Cupra R. Did you buy it like this or build it? I ask as I wonder if you could review the difference in performance between stock intake manidold and uprated intake manifold.

    Fixed the s3 and found out its remapped :).

    OE fitment: - TIP attatches to the long N75 nipple - Charge Air hose attatches to the bottom N75 nipple - Wastegate hose attaches to the left (opposite to TIP side) nipple

    Dan, see my post on SCN for unlocking a CSG file. 18mths, haha that's special but when I ran with a dead N75 for a little while, the car was still quicker than most things on the road :). Different ball game when it's working though right ;).

    eBay rant

    Aye, if it's not here by Saturday then I'll just open a claim. Annoying as I need it, like today and if it's not here by tomorrow then I'll have to buy a brand new one for the work on Saturday & then sell this other one on.

    eBay rant

    Wahey, a quick email last night to the effect of "send it or I'll reclaim" and suddenly I get a reply and told that it will be sent today...apparently. Seemed kind of pointless holding onto it for so long, did they think I'd just give them the money for nothing? :)

    I think people generally now are just plain thick which is all the more frustrating for the educated among us.
