Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Chargecooler ST205 & ST185 WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] How To Test for a Vacuum Leak?

Will check all of those T Pieces first if they are liable to cracking. I had my car dyno'd by Ryan and the car was idling at 2000rpm before we started which wasnt ideal. Ryan said it is probably a vac leak and he tested it by removing the breather pipe that attaches on to the stock air filter pipe, ...

Re: Apexi Suspension **Help required**

Shame from what I hear and the price tag attached to the Apexi dampers I think the suspension can be really good for these cars. I have no preload on the springs at all so adjusting these will not increase the height of the car from what I can see. I have been using loads of penetrating oil and have...
