Joey the VNT boosted 205!

[strictly_perv]

Try go for a VAG 1.8t cooler fitter that they fit to most of the cars as I reckon they would be ideal.

[Tom]

I cant find one like you had anywhere! All the vag ones are those tiny shitty little square things :/

[strictly_perv]

Size isn't everything Tom haha. I wouldn't worry if I'm honest as 205's have epic air flow at the front. Mine came from a Derv Doctor 306 setup and is made by forge so it's pretty pricey to buy new.

[Tom]

Its pretty crucial though Hmm we'll see how i get on with one on ebay.

[Tom]

Righto, Joey is ready to do hit the roads and hopefully loose traction under immense power! (I can dream ay)



And another next my friends steal of a HDI.



The stop light comes on when the 205 gets upto temp which is worrying, need to look into what triggers that.

[strictly_perv]

Yay!
That stop light may be one if the temp wires in the wrong sensor as Stephens did that.

good work tom, what brake set up is this running? pretty sure I remember max saying it has all uprated rear beam so I'm assuming discs on rear too?
if it does does it have a compensator at all like the 306s do you know/noticed?[/quote]

[strictly_perv]

It's running 266's. 309 rear beam with drums. I had a GTI disk beam on with 243's and it was really tail happy without the compensators but when I put bigger fronts on it was fine.

[Piggy]

awesome to know its got a pumping heart again! you must be happy

when is it back on the road?

[Tom]

On the road tomorrow i guess, need to put some money in the bank then tax it and insure it.

Thanks Max will swap them over and see what happens!

cool nice one, I've got 243 discs going on the back and 283mm to balance it out up front, should be reet

[Tom]

Not ignoring you Joe just i dont know aha. Im keeping the brakes i have because i like the wheels

[kernow_joe]

Not ignoring you Joe just i dont know aha. Im keeping the brakes i have because i like the wheels

now you know

[strictly_perv]

Changing from drum to disk then back to drum I honestly couldn't feel a difference! Apart from a better handbrake

[kernow_joe]

main reason I want discs is for the beam itself, and also I hate working on drums, nothing to do with the breaking abilities

[Tom]

This means i can do maaaad skids.

[kernow_joe]

This means i can do maaaad skids.

that's how you impress the ladies down maccyd's innum

[Tom]

I've owned a 306 for that long handbrake turns have been forgotten from my mind haha!

[kernow_joe]

my sedan I've just sold was a handbrake beast ..... apparently ... 306/205 rear discs not so much

[THE_Liam]

Barely managed to keep mine on the ramps when Sam was doing my exhaust!

[Tom]

Gave the inside a spruce up, also drove home, steering wheel needs sorting and i dont think i have boost so need to have a look over everything.

[strictly_perv]

Yay he's back

[Tom]

Quick clean and some tyre gel, paint is covered in greasy hand prints, will be getting some more thorough cleans when its running right

[MissTap_GTI6]

Joey!

[Tom]

Well the car is out to kill me! Que story...

Right i knew it wasnt boosting right, and the turbo was at the wrong angle to to get the pipe on really well, so i clocked the turbo (in situ) bet some of you are dying to know how i done that Got a pipe on and clamped down.

Pulled out the workshop, pinned it, lit up first, changed to second, lit that up to, bit of a screech into third and got some power down and f*ck me did it go!

I am buzzing like 5 year old at 3am christmas morning! DAMN

[darrenjlobb]

hehe, Cornwall is starting to fill with some diesel boost again, thank god!!

[ginge191]

Top man! glad you'e enjoying it!

[Tom]

Had some temperature issues last night, just teething issues was to be expected on the first proper drive! Just nursed it home and left it for the night. So this morning just went balls out trying to fix the fans the lights the temp all of it, so first up:



Matrix hose onto the back of the head, chopped it at the break and slid it back on and tightened down sorted.

Next up, none of the dash lights work, not being able to see rpm temp speed etc is actually quite scary, makes the inside feel weird to. So i found this:



Wires just exposed earthing out everywhere, tore it all out, new fuse and it hasnt blown yet so we'll see what happens when its dark tonight and i can see the dash!

And the interior fan well i dont have a meter so cant test the resistor pack, but it clicks when you put the fan on full so in theory it should still work on full chat so im thinking earthing issue atm!

Stay tuned for the next episode!
