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,

  • Remote mount Turbo

    I was shown this tonight, some very interesting looking little toys:



    Wonder if you could get one hooked up to a Golf without too much trouble?

    If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

      my question is what would the lag be like? being that far to send the compressed air must have some affect?

        generally, air weighs nothing in a vaccum, hence it can move quite quick, regardlesss (in this case) of the distance.

          For cars that don't have the space under the bonnet. Lots of V8s getting around with them from what i've read.

              Not a fan for me. Too much more stuff to sort out doing it remote and for what gain? There is space in the hood for a turbo in a vr6 esp since kinetic sell a turbo kit. A turbo manifold isnt that expensive anyway and a bunch of places like 034motorsport, kinetic, atpturbo, spa all sell vr6 manifolds.

              A remote kit just makes things more complicated...my 2c
