Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] spearco verses C.C.

For me its definately the c/c route, By far the best bang for a buck. Spool is surprisingly alot fater than stoc, temps are at a continuos low and to be honest the upkeep of the cooler isnt hard work at all. People complain that these are a pian when they go wrong, but the real factor is, its just ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Massive overboost but can't diagnose - # solved #

agree about the solenoid mate,

my greddy profec B did exactly the same. I got a replacement boost solenoid from the usa and its fine.

if it does turn out to be this, Pete at Sbits sells them for around £70 iirc.
