Passed by VRS today while I was in Northampton, so popped in to have a quick look. Just waiting on the billet flywheel and clutch to arrive before they build it up. Had a look at my new turbo and manifold, so took some pics.......... Really looking forward to getting this back now.
What lorry does that come off lol Remember to tell your accountant that your cars are for customer relations and entertainment so you can use them as tax right offs
Looks big in the pics mate, but its only a k03s shell, so to speak. Its a hybrid from turbo dynamics, so different internals etc. Does look nice in the flesh though. Hows your daughter mate? Hope she is feeling better. My boy seems ok. At the moment!
Cheers mate. Little boy has been on toast all day bless him. Will give you a bell over the weekend mate.
And/or, either way, somewhere between 280 and 320 bhp wise would be nice. More torque the better though! As long as delivery is nice and smooth and the engine and gearbox are reliable, thats all that matters.
Cheers Ian. A few more little bits to add when its done. Just little things. Karl schmidt rings and acl rod bearings going in aswell. Looking forward to getting it back. Should be a nice mk4 when its done.
Quick update on this. My golf is all finnished and running a reliable and just about usable 295.8 bhp with 317.9 ft/lb torque.

Cheers Eddie. It sure has! Its his new toy. lol This one is mine too. Had it mapped and seviced. Other than the new map, its totally standard. Feels like a different car now. Engine is so much smoother. Well worth doing imo. https://m.facebook.com/116115708405...id.1179103262106964:tl_objid.1179103262106964 https://m.facebook.com/116115708405...id.1179103262106964:tl_objid.1179103262106964 Not bad for a 320d.
Its a great and good looking car, last being a passenger in your car when I and Will drove to his mate Dave near Towcester....and to make some run-in mileage, while still doing low revs it felt already strong...
Cheers Hugo. And thanks once again for your recommendation. Not only is he a good tuner and engine builder, he's also become a good friend. Missed you when you came over because of an airport run. Which turned out to be absolute chaos! Let me know when your over again and I'll fly over in it. He did a really good job and I couldnt be happier. Power wise, for me, its spot on and still controllable. The diff certainly helps keep it in a straight line and it most definately puts a grin on your face!
