[Mk2] [Turbo] Bigger Oil Filter = more power?
:?: Larger filters on standard cars? There's a school of thought which says that enlarging the oil filter on your car is A Good Thing. Why is this? The small oil filters fitted to engines these days run with quite a high back pressure, and the bypass valve trips at about 3500rpm. That means that you...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] boost levels
hmm. Im worried about disconnecting the TVSV if its a safety feature. The car obviously feels something is wrong but I have no ECU error codes? I always wait at least 15 mins before playtime. I had been told it wasnt getting to temp - it displays an interval under half way but i have replaced the th...

wowowo, hate to revive a thread but does the tvis control that goose honk noise? it happens for me when starting to boost, or when the car is struggling up a hill cos its a fat bloater, and cant move without boost

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] boost levels

Tho Im still waiting for hover boards :-k Yep drove for 15 minutes at least before boosting. checked the engine codes, and its all good (after flashing 106 times I figured that must be constant! :roll: ). Whats the lowest boost the MBC can run, if theres a problem and ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] STANDARD UNLEADED OR SUPER???
as I understand it, the higher the RON, the less likely the car is to detonate (this is combustion happening when it shouldnt!). Higher RON figure is smoother more predictable combustion, lower ron is shoddy all over the place explosions new pistons and cylinders please, sorry officer it was like th...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] boost levels
ooo, that was weird, only boosts to 0.5 in 5th, but in 3rd it hung about at .055, then sprung up to 0.7 like the train off back to the future (III?) when a fire brick is chucked in! woo. doesnt do it all the time - im guessing this is creep cos the engine wasnt mega hot (15mins into drive) so the in...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] i think my car is haunted
I had a golf mk2 GTi that did this, totally random buckaroo antics then it wouldnt start, and all of sudden off we go again. Turned out to be the fuel distribution unit...I stupidly ran it dry once, and all the crap from the bottom of the tank clogged the unit. when was the fuel filter changed last?...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] boost levels
thats odd, I read somewhere the japspeed exhaust removes the cat, which would explain why i need ear plugs on long journeys! but he boost hasnt increased, and this is a 3" to 4" tip system so it flows pretty freely! its not looking good for my little 0.55bar

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] boost levels
Yeah, I have heard a downpipe increases boost because it increases exhaust flow allowing the turbo to spool better. ?? or something more technical.
So far people are saying it should be above 10PSI, is this a conspiracy? I thought the rev3 was 13PSI standard, and the rev1/2 were lower (like 10ish).

Trying to ascertain what is 'normal', some say 0.5 is standard, others say this is safety mode.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Electric Aerial Question
I have this problem also, If its wired to the blue and white remote 12V then its always up regardless of TA. the old sony had a second blue wire labelled..."antenna remote" which I think worked, but looking at the pins and socket setup on the Pioneer this wire is not there - arrhg, jamming...
