[Mk2] [Turbo] Drivers side window won't go up properly

For some reason today my driver's side window decided to not go up properly, it goes up about half way and then the front jams while the back goes up fully. I had to manually pull the window up.

What could cause this?

Thanks

What can I do if one of the hangers is bent? Tap the hanger with a rubber mallet and force it back into shape?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Possible loss of performance, Mk2 rev2 Turbo

Never thought of that, it has been silly hot recently which is not ideal for us turbo people.

But is there anything i should maybe check? Just check hoses for leaks?

My car is running a hybrid ct26 turbo, gutted cat, hks silent Highpower exhaust with cut out silencer, aftermarket intercooler, greddy OLED ebc, I always run it on shell v power.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev2 Turbo with Bolt ons, what's next?

Oh wow the adaptronic ECU is mad, every single feature possible! I can understand why it's £1k

What low compressions pistons would I be looking for? Does low compression piston mean that the car will not run happily if the boost was set to low?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev2 Turbo with Bolt ons, what's next?

I would either get an ECU for my rev2 fuel management or get a rev3 fuel management conversion beforehand and go for a rev3 aftermarket ECU. Which would be more cost effective?
I'm only after the 300bhp mark, I havnt got any plans to go further than that yet...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev2 Turbo with Bolt ons, what's next?

Ahh good rev3 lump with all ancillaries seems a bit expensive :|

I'm planning on getting a metal head gasket when my head gasket needs changing.

What sort of aftermarket ECU would I be after for a rev2? Will it remove the MAF sensor in favour for a MAP sensor?

I own a rev2 GTS turbo, I have the usual bolt ons, straight through exhaust with gutted stock downpipe, cone air filter and an EBC and a Hybrid CT26. Recently fitted rev3 billies, handles very nicely, will be getting new tyres before I try to add power! Turned the boost up to 15psi, great fun but I'...

I got myself that exact flasher relay. So hopefully just need to add the metal fitting and then no more load resistors!
