I tried Nordlock washers. Didnt work for me. I dont believe they have enough allowance in growth to still be effective to allow for the thermal expansion of the bolt. The incline between the faces only allows 2-3mm growth, and only works if the bolt has turned to become loose. So if the...

No not trying to fix it. The 'Competition' Haldex controller is designed to have the rear wheels engaged 100% of the time, so it is behaving as it should. I have no idea on P&Ps pricing, I personally havent used them. But their pricing is much better than VW servicing going by pricing mates...

What workshop do you take it too? sounds like you should take it somewhere the knows the system better! Do you have a aftermarket controller? I have the "Competition" Haldex controller which behaves like your describing. This is the correct operation. I know a few people who get their R32...

I dont think the blue pipes are worthwhile, if you ever thinking of an FMIC they will be replaced. TIP is probably one of the best cheap mods around but!

Ebay item 121263687152 replaces the pipes circled red in this photo. From Charge pipe to intercooler and intercoolers to throttle body. That pink pipe is the standard item, they start red but has probably faded. Unless it has a hole it in theres no point in replacing it really. If you...

Given mine a far bit of love lately Last things were: Oil and filter change had a busted coolant pipe so replaced that, flushed the system put in some fresh G12 Diesel Geek short shifter full Stage 1 paint protection and Duragloss wax Very near future to do list: new forward O2 sensor. Giving...

That would explain why they are coming loose so often. Probably arent a high enough strength

Has anyone used this? Turbo Flange Hardware Kit - 034Motorsport | Performance Parts for Audi, Porsche, and Volkswagen

I'm after options for turbo bolts, car started making noises today like it had an exhaust leak between the turbo and manifold again and I pulled the charge pipe off to find this. Bolt gone! I know Iv read on here about stud conversions with Nord locks etc So what is the best option? or any...

Alot of the evo guys where buying 200L cans from CSR, was more expensive than a servo but consistant quality. I wouldnt be able to drive from home and back from any of the servos in QLD if I ran E85 lol let alone any other driving

There is alot of info on evolutionoz.net aswell. evo related but similar sized engine pushing similar power as yours, some on there are well over 550hp on E85. though! Also listed best suppliers etc around Aus.

If idle issues are a worry with the 100mm MAF, 1150cc injectors will add to that for sure! But e85 is mental stuff, know a few guys running it in evos and making an additional 40-50kw from the change! Terrible fuel economy though, and evos have a 45L tank so was reducing them to sub 300km...

If nothing else it looks sick!

Yeah Iv driven it, and assume I will in the future. Will report back when he gets a tune etc... But thats probably a month away

My best mate just brought a Standard MK V GTi, and my S3 is APR stage 1 Basically the GTi cant feel the turbo kick like in mine, super smooth power delivery. On a rolling start race through 2nd and 3rd gear I'm 4-5 car lenths ahead of him when I change to 4th. Through corners I just leave him...

So on the weekend I did a few things Heres a before pic: I firstly removed the N249 system, this is the system the ecu uses to control the DV, so now the DV is plumbed directly to the intake manifold so is a bit more responsive. Basically simplfies the system and fair bit and removes a lot of...

So I had an exhaust leak between the manifold and turbo that started making a fair bit of noise yesterday morning. Last night i got in to fix it, the 2 bolts close to the block were super loose. I could spin them freely with my fingers. Tighten those up and all good, except now I have a boost...

Im trying to avoid spacers/adapters due to the polices attitude towards "hoons" here. Im assuming ET20 would fit all round? I actually found a set a guy with a WRX is selling in ET20. Alternativily If I do want to run spacers/adapters I have a set of 17x9 ET25 from my old Evo sitting in the...

Do you live in Redfern? haha Im under 25 man :ohmy:... and pay far less than that! but probably lower agree value. But insurance companies are stupid. My missus got her renewal from NRMA and it had increased $300 over the previous years premium, an online quote with much cheaper than the...

CTP is Third Person not Party. Its pays for personally injuries only. Doesnt cover property! Every should still have another type of insurance for third party property! Thats much more expensive than QLD though! My rego (including CTP) is $660 for 12 months, and my comprehensive insurance on...
