That's alot man, imagine that going back through your turbo! Trackdays = baffled sump = a must!
Fit you on aboot you dafty??
I know it's needed, it's just there's other things needed more just now
thanks buddy
It's taking a while, but spreading the fun.
Still not bored of the OEM power on the road, but foer that track more power is needed
Mark mine is between a 20 and 25mm drop from OEM ride height at the drivers side.
The passengers side as OEM is slightly higher due to OEM being designed as a Left Hand drive car.
So 20mm for best handling and level wish bone angles

I was putting through 400-420lbft of torque through the standard AMK rods for 3yrs without a hiccup. They can easily handle more than 320lbft
Luck is a serious factor, and it is foolish to advise that torque of this level is going to be safe/reliable when a lot of 210/225 motors are failing rods on basic remaps and k04's - the engines are getting old, and we are now seeing fatigue failures I suspect
rods for peace of mind, else you risk carnage

thank you for your input guys, i'm never going to see this sort of torque with my set up.
I'd never sleep if I was running over 320 ft-lbs.
the risks far out weight the benefits for me

The story continues!!!
Another big step away to be climbed in the next few days,
FINALLY I'M GETTING MY LCR REMAPPED!!!
REALLY looking forward to the extra torque.
This is being carried out by a local guru in close conjunction with a well known VW Racing team boss
My BlueFlame 3" De CAT'd DP has arrived, I've got Stainless Steel bolts and nuts for this and a DP to Turbo gasket.
I've got a life time supply of Plus gas, a new wire brush and bent spanners
Pictures to follow, hopefully big smiles too

Good to hear your finaly getting a map Willie!! I was seriously considering getting mine done but not bothering now.
Cheers Kat, you will
Yup, the handling is well sorted so now onto too much power
Car will be on 1/4 strip this weekend, last time did 14.4 and 99.2MPH
The 4 bar FPR was put in the post yesterday first class. I would have text you but I have been working flat out on the car until now and I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate a text at 2am

Phones off when i don't want to speak to people so would have been no problem
A custom remapped light weight LCR, its going to be a beast. You'll have a permanent grin for a while. Can't wait to see how your times improve.
Pictures, otherwise known as images - they are those colourful rectangular things you must have from your trackday that were never posted. If you read page 40 you will understand.
We also require pics of your plexi windiez.
athankyou.
PS if you could take a pic of your map that would also be appreciated. That is all.
