i thought the rollers were gonna save you the job
I was thinking about yours this morning - that holed hose was facing the exhaust manifold - you could do with a piece of that heatproof sleeving round the outside of the replacement.

thats what i am on the lookout for, the hose i got from motorscope was proper high temp stuff (i dont think the hose that popped was
)got to get the hard boost pipe flared a bit to suit the new hose then it "should" be tip top ?
just the fuel pump problem to sort then its happy days again
Nice to see the water/methenol doing its job Dave. Im still waiting to taking advantage of mine (sorting out other issues first). Are you running revo sftware? I guess you wacked the timing up? What sort of timing pull are you getting if any?
Sorry, I was otherwise occupied.
I suppose there's big differences between your Revo Software and mine, Dan.
Yes, timing whacked up, I'm not getting any CFs at all at the moment. Zeros across the board.

Yeah - and you what happens when the wmi fails............
Looking at these at the moment....
second nozzle after throttle body - small one before to cool the charge - bigger one after to inject wmi as fuel (yes, the other way round to what they say)

That really is impressive, so you haven't even found the limits of the methanol potential yet.![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
There's a calculable limit, Carl. I'm running a 40% mix at 150 psi with a nozzle that's 75% of the size I need. It could be 50% 180 psi 100% nozzle(s).
I need to explore the timing a bit at a time. The downside is that as you advance the timing, you advance the whole range. .... and my map doesn't cope well with advanced timing at lower revs.
I'm considering getting it remapped to suit the methanol system now, rather than a turbo upgrade.
Those look very interesting mate.
You have got me thinking about wmi now, once I get a TB exhaust
Damn you.....
You know methanol does strange things to your brain though.......
Yes!

I think that is the most sensible way forward for your state of tune. To achieve the next level of power gain from a new turbo install will cost silly money and would it feel worth it, probably not.
New rods, custom remap and the limits of the methanol mapped to suit should find you at least another 20 bhp. Who would you trust the mapping to though.
Do they do that by balancing the car on a kerb?
Still more fun to be had with this. The drawback with my eliminator + map is the late spool - not helped by advanced timing making flooring the car below 3,500 a no-go area. A custom map maybe wouldn't solve the problem, but it would ease it. I've got a mapper in mind who would allow me a bit of input into the spec...... I'd prefer to buy another ecu to do it on though - then I've still got Revo Stage 3 if it doesn't work out.
Yes, that's more like it.
The Polo's lovely isn't. !.8T with a T5 - did 370ish before it blew (and I mean blew) a boost hose.
Phil - I owe you a PM reply.

what does your's spool at then Dave? i.e. full boost
