Just a heads up really for those in the southwest.
My wheel have been stolen from Dan's garage, they were fitted to his Monaco and went missing last night. We suspect they will be resold as they're the only thing that was stolen. When there was loads of scrap metal, and a set of Leon cupra...
Dan's supercharger conversion drives quite well I think, especially as he has done all the mapping himself on the road, in 1 evening.
Economy wise, he is seeing 35mpg on a mixed driving tank, but he has leaned it off quite a bit on low throttle to achieve this, I helped do a few adjustments...
No more than 35% throttle, large following distances, don't brake as soon as you see brake lights, keep rolling at traffic lights. Take some IAM lessons.
Low boost applications would be fine I'd have thought, Dan's supercharged one is seeing 10psi and the sensor hasn't popped out the stock inlet, so wouldn't be any different on the rs2?
T1r's are utter shite IMO. I have v12 evo's on mine ATM and I'm not that impressed, michelins on Dan's are impressive and shall be what goes on mine when I've torn the rest out the hankooks.
The dog bone isn't the problem on 182's. It's the manifold. You can do them without doing any of that. It's just a bit fiddly. You need to remove one if the idlers before you can remove the lower cover fully.
Good or not with cars if he hasn't got the correct tools (genuine ones, and all 3) he won't be able to do it correctly.
dephaser clatters upto 1500rpm, then shuts up.
Leave the manifold on.
jack the engine up and down to do the belts etc, remove the bumper and headlight. That's all I can remember when I did mine under Dan's supervision.
