Golf 1,3T

Hi,
Hear is a picture of my turbo conv.

 

looks good mate, love the colour of your car.

Looks v.clean and the strut brace is just blinging!

whats the spec, power? hows it been on reliability?

 

I got 173 hk and 199nm, but im not satisfied with the engine. I got 1kg bust at 1800rpm. So i have a new turbo (k04), and im getting a gt manifold soon from germany.

So it`s going to get better some time after new year.

 

turboing small bore has a little advantage ,because of the smaller bore the piston crown can cope with higher stress than a larger piston (b4 it holes!!) eg uno turbos could happily cope with 20psi . i like to play with escort/fiesta turbos but they wouldnt take much more than 17psi on a stock motor. at current time i am sorting out my mk2 golf with a t3 wu tish low pressure 4 now because of a 10:1 ratio ign retard being done using a 1600 dizzy with the vac advance doctored to work as boost retard,+ 4x4 cos intercooler all manifolds custom made by me . welding by my dad

 

Little advantage? The G40 above had small advantage of 62% power increase, 70 bhp......

The NZ has now suffered from a blown fpr and headgasket BTW, 1 bar boost was a bit more than it could take
