With this one,

Could i not fit say the pressure sensor on the side, and the temp in the top, and then screw the male section in to here:

 

[Forbez]

I've checked the connections and they are snug as a bug in a rug!

 

[PhilW]

Depends on the size of the senders really.

M10x1 is very similar to 1/8NPT so it will fit but wont fit that well.

 

[Forbez]

Thats what im finding, they are very similar, how the hell would i know?

Fit it anyway with some ptfe tape??

 

[davidol]

weld it?

 

[Forbez]

Ooh btw anyone want any back copies of FHM a few GQ, and a few Performance VW and Golf+ Mags?

Let me know or they are going in the recycle!

 

[davidol]

i'll take the golf + mags!

 

[Forbez]

Sold to the man in the straw hat!

I'll put them aside for you dave, there's 13 of them, thats inc the Performance VW ones aswell.

Pulled my rear bump strip off last night, made a right meal of it. A few small screwdriver marks here and there. What an arse to get off.

A few marks is the least of my worries tho.

 

[Forbez]

Are you going to buy the black (lower spec) ones for colour coding phil?

I think i may get mine done, it does look good on that piccy, didnt appeal to me before but seeing that one.

 

[PhilW]

Nah just gonna get mine sprayed when the car is in the garage.

Gonna fit my brakes this weekend as well.

 

[nogutsnoglory]

dont the black ones have a bit missing for something like a headlight spray?

from the parts number thread:

Been to the bodyshop and gave them the part #s for the black bump strips. when they were delivered we found out that the front: 6K0 807 225 D B41 has a square hole like the space for a headlight spray or something [the same hole is in the bumper but gets covered by the normal bumpstrip].
The rear: 6K0 807 425 F B41 hasn't the space for the regplate. This is very wierd cos I thought all rear bumpers were the same [except for the exhaust hole for diesels].

 

[acidstrato]

mine are the standard ones, though never know, might be why mine aint so great any more

Alright Phil Mate. Im convinced the actuator on my k03s isn't set correctly and is the result of my ongoing low boost problems. I just read that you cranked yours up a bit. I tried this myself by 3 turns logging it with vagcom and gaining about 2 psi and seeing the wastegate duty drop quite alot.

Could you do me a huge favour and give me the measurement of the rod between the actuator and the top nut please.

Also do you have any recent logs of block 115?

Sorry to be a pain in the ass!

Cheers Ollie.

I dont log 115 anymore as i'm running HB9 and the requested shouldnt change.

I been seeing 2540 for about 4 time stamps in a row now.

I'll measure the actuator now.

 

[davidol]

fair play matt you didnt even spray the wood, with phil on this one

ghetto tuning : possibly the way forward
