Posted: Tue, 01 Jul 2014 8:37 +0000Welcome back, I'm back too (although I normally lurk in the background anyway). Picked up a MKII RS last week and had a few bits done by Robert over the past few days - top bloke!
I'll start a thread at some stage

Posted: Wed, 02 Jul 2014 2:20 +0000Turbo yet?
Re: Im back
Posted: Wed, 02 Jul 2014 6:55 +0000Yeah was up and running good . Decided to go with charge cooler but a weld failed and the engine hyd locked bending a rod . So all stripped and took the oportunity to put a recon front subframe in . Still at that stage as time at a premium . Will be interesting tho.
spec is charge cooled RS mk2 engine @ 9.5 comp ratio on link ecu .
Turbo is td04hl 16t on custom manifold and exhaust . Turbo has a built in dump valve which is handy .
Hop to get it finished soon but tine is limited.

Put in the refurbished RS front subframe and tidied up some piping. Just need the chargecooler water pump relayed and she is ready for tuning.

Re: Im back
Posted: Wed, 03 Sep 2014 12:04 +0000interesting intercooler, what is it?
Re: Im back
Posted: Wed, 03 Sep 2014 10:12 +0000Its a charge-cooler lad, water filled. Custom made but a bit of work to plumb in the rads for it, wire the circulation pump etc. Its way over-sized for the application but will allow me to fit a much bigger turbo later on and still keep inlet temps low.
