Re: [Mk2 Turbo] 1.3 bar rev 1

hi

fcd was fitted because it was hitting fuel cut with the old turbo. at about .8 bar
and no, there deffinatly isnt a grainger or any other controller fitted.

if i bought a grainger valve could it be used to restrict boost?? i thought boost controllers only turned the boost up not down.

Re: Blowing exhaust!

no. it wont damage your turbo.
how bad is the hole? if its just small and you cant afford a new exhaust yet try some gun gum. ( exhaust repair gum ) it'll repair ur exhaust and should last you another few months.

Re: Exhaust removal...

its quite easy. just like you said.. undo the bolts and it comes off as for the front . the rear does lift high enough to get under without removing the front cone. obviously this is gonna depend on how low your front end is tho..mine is the standard bumper with a 35mm drop in suspention and i can d...

Re: [Mk2 ] Tools for the head

when you take the cam cover off. look at the cams ( nearest to the cam gear side ) and there should be a place to put a open ended spanner onto the actual cam ( inside the head ) then use an open ended or socket on the cam gear nut. my cams and cam gears were factory marked for the timeing so there ...
