i did this on my girlfriends Puma, it certainly made a difference but only slightly so worth the time and effort....not really there is something called "mothers ball" or something like that that is supposed to work very well

if the turbo had blown it would be smoking like a train (seals perished oil dumping straight into a hot exhaust) as above, major boost leak by the sounds of it

a mate did the gf's at the weekend..i didn't really pay too much attention but i think it went something along lines of: he pressed the two spindle things by the speedo/rev counter for a few seconds, ignition was on but car wasn't running.. however he then had to reset service interval using a...

Oops I appear to have hit a nerve! we getting all condescending and patronising all of a sudden...from this I get the impression you dont take criticism particularly well, so on that note I shall withdraw from this thread, I don't think there is any need for us to get all " keyboard warriors" on...

you cannot compare N/A to forced induction when it comes to bang for buck, granted there are lots of high power N/A cars out there but to get anywhere the increase you have got from their motors you won't come across "driving down the road" but the point you are making is invalid, simply you...

any sort of breathing mods on a 350 will amount to pretty much the square root of nothing, simply it's an N/A actually easier to get blood out of a stone... a proper modified 350Z as in forced inducted, would absolutely wipe the floor with you. maybe we'll have to agree to disagree that...

cheers for the reply :)..goes off to take pics and prepare for sale thread :D

while i see where you are coming from it still makes the "scalping" largely irrelevant, in much the same way in handing a saxo VTS yo its ****, both cars are slower than what you currently have.. now had you have said you gave an M3 or similar a pasting that would be a whole different ball game

so a modified to 300bhp car beats a car that is heavier, less power (probably nigh on standard)..hmmm not really a fair match is it lol

anyone know what the going rate for a set of factory fit A5 wheels (as shown below) are, in near perfect condition with loads of meat on tyres?

just out of interest what sort of power is a stage 1 S3?

as above just lots of air in system. it doesn't matter that he pushed the pistons back, thats all a caliper rewind tool does anyway

my Gf bought her 2003 1.8T, 68k miles full service history, half leather etc etc for £2k which i thought was pretty cheap considering cars of similar age with more mileage up for about double that...of course they maybe put up for £4k doesn't mean that actually get sold for that... all cars are...

an external gate can be fitted to anything, if you have the skills would cost no more than maybe a hundred pounds to do, its just wether you need to do it, i was thinking of wiring shut my internal gate, and going external purely for boost control purposes. if the original post was regarding...

wastegates do not make noise, the fluttering noise you might be thinking of is air passing back over the compressor, if you want this remove any sort of DV, BOV whatever you guys call them, blocking up any redundant pipework..assuming you can do that on Audi's anyway?

recently the GF's 1.8T A3 threw up an engine check light, took it to a mates and he plugged in his VAGcom and came up with some error code, i don't recall what it was but gave a description along lines of : air leak between AFM and throttle housing. at more or less the same time "service"...

over the weekend I'm doing an Oil and filter change on the GF's car, can anyone tell me the location of the filter..i would go and check but she lives 80miles away and is it easily accessible from top of the bay?

i don't use these however both of my parents do, my dad mentioned the first set he had kept on coming undone, he since been supplied a new set which have been "updated" and they have been fine. its worth noting these need to be fitted by authorised fitters as far as I'm aware which would in...

totally agreed, its being done within the next week, what concerned me was accordion the service manual its 115k or something ridiculous. ..the reason the gf now has an Audi not is because her cam belt let go at 80mph recently on her previous car

on a petrol car that noise could be one of a few things i would assume the same is for Diesel, if the "siren" noise increases in volume or speed with revs, the chances are the compressor wheel is striking the housing..meaning the unit will eventually expire. alternatively it could be a boost...
