lol like i said in my abive post mate it depends how bad your current manifold is, id say it is worth it as they are not matched from the fa tory, some are ok, some very bad

Matched inlets are a common mod mate, depending on how good/bad your inlets are now will depend on how much power you gain. iv had it done in the past and i think it was worth it but my standard ones were pretty poor

Re: Volkwagen Passat TDi (110bhp) SE Sport Estate Ah lol good plan! Great cars the 3b Passats, should sell easy :)

Re: Volkwagen Passat TDi (110bhp) SE Sport Estate The towbar was fitted around 4 months ago, and has only ever pulled a small trailer to the tip containing garden waste cant believe you're calling the mk1 garden waste :eek: ;)

My itb'd still did 40mpg ;)

Not really suprised, a 22 year old 200bhp saloon vs a 10 year old 170bhp hot hatch

With how my dephaser sounds mine must have never had an oil change lol Engine sounds great, not rattles or funny noises, dephaser on the other hand.....

Dont bother with flush, noot needed, and most have stuff in that cause more harm than good. Fill it up with fresh oil, let it get warm, then drop that oil and put in some decent 5w40 if you are really worried -it will be fine

Nice pictures mate, need another trip out there, so much fun

Does the hoop go in, then front pieces welded once it's in? Iv only ever fitted mini cages so general question really :)

Was just about to PM you lol, yeah got it yesterday mate many thanks!

The dephaser is a oil driven cam pulley as such, it advances and retards the timing (But not for performance like Vtec) They normally rattle/sound like a diesel when ilding when warm, but the noise should go away once you rev it over 1500 rpm as that is when it should do it's thing as it...

lol!

welcome Steph! Word of warning, take the pic of you off - there are plenty of wierdo's on here!

Yup, i need to do a load on this one, but im in rush so hopefully it will turn out quite nice in the end :) Start stripping the interior this weekend i hope

Dont get me wrong, it needs some work, but its a great base to work from :)

Small update, steering wheel has arrived (Cheers Rob! x) and a few goodies ordered. Trying to work out a few things, hopefully il have a good update at the weekend. My dad used to work for a company who made (Amongst other things) heat shrinkable plastic tubing for the M.O.D., which is...

Ah brilliant, thought id let you know just in case (should have guessed that by your picture lol)

no mate, the ecu will be able to account for a different filter - though a custom map (NOT 'chipping') would get the best out of it. Whats the 'N that' but though?

OP, chill out fella, you will always get mixed responces with any mods - some people on here didnt like my Elise due to it being under powered (which it wasnt) just take it as constructive criticisum and look at what you want to change - at the end of the day its your car so you can do the...

Not sure if you are going itb's mate, but bear in mind ph2's dont have idle control valves, so fitting a ph1 tb will lave you with no icv

2 of the best are RS Tuning in Leeds and Tour-de-force both worth travelling for. In fact i travelled from wiltshire to Leeds to RS to have mine mapped and worth every penny

lol no worries fella, just didnt want anyone giving you any not as advrtised b****cks - some people can be so petty! :)

looks very tidy and a good price mate, but just so you know, you have it advertised as a PD - you have an AHF engine in that, which isnt a PD - the pd's were the later engines, with 115/130/150 bhp outputs, where yours is the higher out put of the older engine whivh were 90/110 mainly.

As long as iv read the reg right ( FV58XBG ) then it's beryllium grey met, with a paint code LR7K You forget I work for VW lol x Bear in mind there tend to be 2 or 3 different nmes for paints

The thing that would worry me, is with a standard seatbelt in the event of a roll it will let your body move forward/around - harnesses would hold you tighly and near bolt upright and id hate to think what would happen :(

Lol no problem mate :D

Ahem ;)

It's a good result mate, most make roughly around 140-145 atw, so your's is bang on. Good torque figure too, and the power seems progressive with no real lumps

Power atw on the 2nd run looks about right, Dastec usually slightly over read on the flywheel figures but thats still going to be over 175bhp. Good result.
