Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • My week-end car work

    G'day all,

    So my stuff arrived from ECS today, and it time to install this weekend.
    1. 4 bar fpr
    2. 008 Forge DV
    3. N75 race valve (this will be interesting)

    I have also started getting knock on my front suspension, so it seems as though I will need to investigate -- rather frustrating. Will let you know my views on the above mods.

    My Polo 9n3:
    This was a nice and easy install for a change...
    1. the fpr took a few minutes, an easy swap.
    2. the forge 008 dv -- this is very nice mod. firstly, the quality of the valve is very good. i got the matt black, and it really was well presented. i put in 1 shim and the yellow spring (rated 15-23Psi). you can really hear a very nice sound when it opens..a nice wooosh.
    3. the n75 valve...it seems ok, the turbo may be smoother, but without putting it on a dyno, diffcult to say. either way, it was a quick easy fit.

    and the knock on my suspensions, well that will have to wait for another day. i was however told that it may be my strut bearings that need to be replaced...so its an excuse to buy something new

        i know...i know....
        i have modified quite a few cars already, and this was going to be different. i was going to leave it std; but no, i have started again.
        i already have a few mod's completed, and maybe its time i start a thread on my mods
