Paul_13 212 1 Cars Posted August 4, 2014 I've opted for bigger pipework this time, should help it flow better. Not sure if the old cooler would of been man enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul_13 212 1 Cars Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) Well it's going good. 300 miles in Boosting at 32ish psi. Easily kept up with a 330d 14 plate bmw the other day, he was flat out The 11mm pump is maxed out and it pulls bloody well Edited August 17, 2014 by Paul_13 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh_Quant 27 Posted August 17, 2014 FairPlay chap What's the mpg with bigger pump like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul_13 212 1 Cars Posted August 17, 2014 Just from first impressions it's better on fuel as the turbo passes more air down low compared to a t2.it doesn't spool up as quick and you can drive it off boost more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul_13 212 1 Cars Posted September 20, 2014 On a private road before any body asks It's still more to give. Got a less restrictive air filter setup to go on and make a more free flowing back box. Wastegate arm needs tightening as well. Only doing 31/2 psi at the moment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevietuck 0 Posted October 28, 2016 Hey mate do you still have this? Love the mods you have done, in fact this thread is part of the reason I bought mine ​ http://retrorides.proboards.com/thread/181724/1989-205-diesel-hello-smurf Here she is..... ​ She is a 1.8 diesel, non turbo. All i have done so far is lower and wheels, but have found a 1.9 turbo engine locally that will eventually be fitted. I have bought a set of stdt dash clocks same as yours, but was wondering if I also need a loom? or will they just plug in to original loom? Cheers steve.

Anthony 1,003 Posted October 28, 2016 The car itself is no more sadly, but the engine etc lives on in his white GTi shell - there's a thread on here somewhere called "Roadspeed Revival" IIRC (in my name as it was my car one upon a time and Paul continued it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allye 530 3 Cars Posted October 28, 2016 You'll need the wiring loom yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted October 28, 2016 nooo, you wont need the loom, I've done 1.9 DT into a 1.8 non turbo and used the original loom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allye 530 3 Cars Posted October 28, 2016 No for the clocks!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevietuck 0 Posted November 3, 2016 Does anyone have a loom for the clocks that I can buy? Cheers steve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul_13 212 1 Cars Posted November 3, 2016 The gti loom is the same as the stdt. I'm currently using a gti loom on my stdt clocks I may have a loom in the garage, it's not perfect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevietuck 0 Posted November 3, 2016 Ah, I didn't realize the gti loom was the same. When you say not perfect what do you mean? How much do you want for it? Cheers steve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevietuck 0 Posted November 3, 2016 Do you have to change the loom for the whole dash board ( switches etc ) or is it just a small sub loom? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
