well I havent driven a car wih Bilsteins to be able to compare. I have driven cars with KW coilovers and H&R Comfort coilovers and they are much better (softer) but its down to money at the end of the day - maybe one day... Dunc

JBS will only fit (for me anyhow) if I buy from them - thats their Rods and Valves. My engine also burns quite a bit of oil as it is so will get rings seen to also if I go this route although thats not a cost thing (1 litre for 2k miles) Now all that remains is the mental block that says "is...

Bad luck about the car going now. Turbo okay though? Which valves are you using? Dunc

Well to be on the safe side is my overriding reason. Wilkos IHI Golf threw a rod in the last few days, although I think the 150 unit is not as strong internally as the TT/S3. S3 looks like its staying for a while as a daily driver so want to do it right first time if I go BT... Dunc

Right, so am considering going BT in the future and since JBS have a GT28RS kit available, I'm tempted to go that route. But before going BT I want to uprate my internals, rods and valves i think should be sufficient. JBS sell their own 'H-Beam Con-Rods' and stainless steel valves - anyone got...

About 25 psi according to CliveD who has it on his TTR - which is about 1.5 bar? Dunc

[ QUOTE ] no they dont recommend an fmic with the 330/345 kit [/ QUOTE ] Yes, I wouldnt take what Audi Driver says as totally correct (but it does say that) Dunc

any reason why you arent pushing a touch more? 1.3 for example? Not saying you should be, just enquiring. Dunc

I spoke to Jabba recently and they said the downpipe was ready or something along those lines about a 1.8T quattro having the kit fitted? But then when I spoke to them a year ago they said the kit would be ready in a matter of weeks/months anyhow.. I wish... Dunc

cant recall now..I'll see if i can dig out the article Dunc

Regarding FMICs on the S3... Is simply the fact that you place an intercooler on the front of the car, so more surface area hitting more air that makes it more efficient than the 2 smics on the S3 (even if it was the same volume), or does it help because you use one with bigger volume than the...

Talking of logging timing - what degrees of ****** do you guy see with vag-com? Dunc

Complete exhaust, cats etc, but interestingly MTM still use the standard twin ICs. I think this is a picture of the kit, minus the exhaust (found on the web). Dunc

Right...since we have discussed Garrett and IHI 'big turbos', anyone know much about the turbo MTM uses on its kit? Its a K26 with an external wastegate is'nt it? What are the charecteristics of this turbo - big booster I would guess? Dunc

S3mon's Imola S3 made just over 300 bhp and 330 lb/ft on the G-force RR (which is a very well respected RR). He also got 296 bhp + about 330 odd lb/ft on AMDs RR. He has the stock turbo and these figures were without a 3" downpipe. He does though have a list of mods as long as your arm and...

The torque figures are around 290-300 lb/ft (I believe), running about 1.3 bar boost max. I know Glen won't agree but according to AMD I allegedly get this figure with a chip only - except on my chip only car this figure lasts for about 250 rpm, whereas with Jabba IHI kit its meant to last for...

There was a blue golf at Castle Coombe last week which is meant to run 391 bhp - how come its a lot more than the 330 S3? Be interested to hear lots more about your S3 conversion Dave. Was your car chipped before? (I'm asking that to find out if it is a big change on the old butt dyno in...

I just had my AMD DV replaced with a standard Bosch valve and didnt need to replace any clips. Dunc

Maybe you can enlighten me but what is the point of this post? I dont mean that rudely, I really dont know what you are trying to say??? Dunc

[ QUOTE ] Golf Bygone said: I've just had a look - 254 BHP is a little low given what the Revo marketers claim. AMD and APR seem to get upwards of 270 BHP and significantly higher torque too. [/ QUOTE ] This was discussed a while back - see this thread...
