[Mk2] [Turbo] Who can set up a AVCR in Essex

As above. I cant really trust my local mechanic with doing a job like this so I would like it done at a reputable garage. Is there anyone in Essex who can fit and set up my AVCR. Thanx :thumleft:

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Turbo or bottom end gone

TBH havebt seen full colour of smoke as it was in the dark. Temperature is normal, there is no oil in the engine bay but just previous to the smoke I had filled up with 10w40 magnatec oil. I checked the dipstick and there was hardly any oil except where it should be at the bottom. The turbo is still...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Turbo or bottom end gone

They have a few scuffs with 215 tyres on the front with 6mm of tread and rear tyres are 245 but very close to limit. I believe they may be a staggered set...

[Mk2] [Turbo] Forged pistons cost

Hello everybody. Right I was going to go down the route of ct20b etc but I think circa 300bhp will bore me after a while. What I would really like is 350bhp-400bhp to use as a weekend/track car. Now obviously this will be close to the limits of the stock pistons. So the question is, how much is it j...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Wrong decat

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Wrong decat

I didnt realise it was just a elbow when I ordered it. The only reason I didnt order a berk technology 1 is because chris only accepts paypal which I currently dont have active. I will be ordering 1 though when my paypal activation code comes through.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Wrong decat

TBH the welds are crap and the finish of the pipe really isnt that good. Its not camskills fault but there are also gaskets etc that are missing. Ive got to send it back really as it is really overpriced and wasnt what I expected.
