Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev 2 3sgt3 engine - 3sge square edged block swap
why use a 3S block when the 5S block is more reliable and likely a better base for power / torque... just a thought Not sure how it bolts up to rev2 head etc but they use them in the states (and here) so must be possible

Re: The beautiful roads of Maui (Hawaii)

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Stock NA shocks with Koni inserts on a Rev 3 turbo?
the combo of n/a struts and inserts has been done and works as well as any change however remember the turbo cars came with stiffer suspension and lower (esp rev3+).

Re: Brake hardlines and flexi hoses.... help required!
