Hi guys Looking to replace my current daily Passat with a vw t5, can anyone tell me about what is possible?? From what I've read not many people have pushed the engines much past 250hp, is there much difference in the engines to other tdis? How strong are the bottom ends? Any info appreciated

Hi Guys, Just wanted your input with how i can improve my 1/4 mile times. The 1st run was a 2nd gear start that went very wrong where the car bogged down for some reason so after that i used 1st gear for all. The car is a stripped mk2 golf with 02m, peloquin lsd, toyo 888r tyres, and 2260vk...

Had the car rolling roaded today just to see what it was doing and to see if it was worth the expense of having a custom map done. Since I have had the car i have been spending my money on trying to get alot of the bad bits sorted, now it is alot better i can afford the map. I had no idea as to...

My mate has finished (well very nearly) rewiring my mk2 golf PD 130 and has come across a problem. Whilst driving it the engine light came back on and there is now no signal coming from the MAP sensor. Previously it had run the incorrect for engine MAP sensor and we had not seen a signal in...

Spoke to a tuner yesterday and he said they do not use these anymore due to the reliability issues they have found.:confused: But i know they are wpretty popular on here so anyone had trouble with them?

Hi guys, hoping someone might have the answer or atleast some suggestions to the problem i have with my daily driver (or atleast used to be):( At the moment i have what seems to be a boost issue, where as the maximum boost i see is 5 psi no matter what the revs or load. It feels as though the...

HI, I am having some trouble with my ASZ engined mk2 golf. Plugging it into VAGCOM points to the MAP as it is stuck at 900 odd whilst the other sensor readings are varying as i rev the engine. I have pulled out the MAP sensor and have borrowed another, but have found that mine is for the ALH and...

Been offered a brand new spec stage 3 clutch set up for the golf and the dual mass has been replaced with a SMF weighing approx 4kg, my question is, is this too light? I have read about the chatter these make:confused:

I am about to redo the pipe work on my mk2, getting rid of the existing (sp?) pipework and intercooler that was fro a nissan pulsar gtir apparantly, so exits on the wrong side. I have ordered a new FMI that will be here shortly, but wonder what size pipework i should be fabricating it all out...

I was really disapointed with today. I went to a RWYB and had a stupid what i believe is overfuelling issue again. One of the guys that was watching said he saw black smoke then white smoke then black again. This happens sometimes on the road as well but i have never seen the white smoke before...

HiGUys, hoping someone can try and point me in the right direction with an on going problem i have with my set up. Sometimes when i boot it away in 1st and 2nd i get what i presume is an overfuel as the car misfires briefly and gives a loud bang out the exhaust with alot of black smoke. This...
