Mick's mk4 1.6 to 1.8t conversion

Boost tee controls the waste gate on the turbo.. Allowing you to increase or decrease the boost. They are from turbosmart..

Manual Boost Controllers

So is this the basic $100 or the posh $300 one? I was trying not to tell you off but dude this is 2012 and turbo control has moved on since they first came out. Back in 1985, bleed valves were all the rage on Ford RS Turbos and Renault 5 Turbos. When I was a kid

Audi and VW spent more than a few dollars setting these up and I'll admit the AGU is far from the most sophisticated motor out there but a flash is by far the best way to make them go better and stay together.

I know you have access to this stuff cheap through work but you gotta lay off it

Cold turkey that's what you need. A good couple of months in rehab and you'll come out like new LOL.

Put the N75 back and sell the shiney stuff, then email me. Do it properly, you have spent lots of time getting the engine in, be a shame for it to give up on you.

Lol rehab

I've gotten so used to the power though it lights the front wheels up at 60kmh in second gear..

I'm saving to buy a gizmo electronic boost controller instead of the manual one..

Also I've put Nulon 80,000km oil treatment in the engine oil which is the same as Slick50.. Puts a Teflon coating in the engine internals and the turbo. Also using special oil from Penrite that specific for the golf. I treat her right

Even after what I said? Come on, doing it properly isnt that expensive at $649. I even pay for the postage both ways.

$649?? Is that all.. I thought it would cost more then that?..

Hmm ok ill put her back the way she was

[GoLfMan]

listen to Gav mate. He's not talking Turkey when he tells you this stuff.

The 1.8t has been done to death with getting good power out of them, there is the correct way thats been proven to work and be reliable and there is they way that will end badly. Don't head down the second path any further than you have

My car isnt chipped yet, but heed the good advice here mate.

You've come so far, make sure she stays in one piece.

Good job mate, have you noticed and difference, lag or boost?

Gavin

[Clarkee_vw]

I've noticed that its a little laggy to start off with but it's only a little but it feels like its got more pull when you put your foot down. We used the factory pipe in the wheel arch and just added to it. It's 2 1/2 inch to the intercooler then 2 inch out to the intake so that we didn't loose pressure.. Works a treat

looking good mate, nothing like a FMIC to say - fast car

good luck with the build mate, you won't regret it
