Oops....

I know about vnt, and the 150tdi is more laggy than the 130......so an even bigger one must more laggy still. Much less than a non vnt turbo I agree, but still laggy.....

I really wouldn't worry about lag with any VNT that would go on your car tbh, not going to cause enough to make it un- drivable .

But I don't like lag...I like it as petrolly as possible.....power when i want it, not when the turbo wakes up lol. Doesnt help that the PD engine is so reluctant to rev as well.

[samass]

simple. get a petrol.

[Toms306]

simple. get a petrol.

With 180bhp and 60mpg average?? Dont think so.

[samass]

then get a NAD too.
NAD for the MPGZ
perv for the power

[n0v0s]

It's bigger than the one on your car, sure... But it's still a relatively tiny turbo in the grand scheme of things! Stick a hx40 next to it for example.

Depending on how you get it mapped, it shouldn't be much laggier i would have thought, certainly acceptable considering the power increase.

If your worried about lag, splash out on the latest gen. Gt2260vbk (i think it's vbk) audi vnt.

Then you've got insurance issues, cos otherwise I'd already have a '6 and a NAD lol.

[samass]

just temp insure the '6 when you want to take it out for a play, and have the NAD as the daily

[Alee83]

You can't own a car without insuring it these days... Against the law!

[samass]

if its off the road then you can, saves on road tax then too

[Dum-Dum]

Good thing you bought a nice reliable VAG and not some GTi6 that breaks down every other day.

[samass]

[Toms306]

Good thing you bought a nice reliable VAGaygay and not some GTi6 that breaks down every other day.

Lasted longer than your beemer though haha.

[THE_Liam]

Looks like your finding out what I've found out Tom...

VAG reliability is a load of bollocks

[Alee83]

My VAG had 4 gearboxes...

[THE_Liam]

It's the sheer bloody complexity of them, seriously. Should see the engine bay on my Skoda, far too much to go wrong...

Gonna keep it until September and then go back to a 306

[Toms306]

My VAGaygay had 4 gearboxes...

My 1.4 had 4 gearboxes.


Tbh Liam, it would've been fine without a remap and a heavy foot lol. But pushing a lot of bhp through an old turbo on a high miler car was bound to break it lol.

[procta]

tom you couldnt drive a 1.4 man, i bet thats why the gearboxs went due to been seized! 4k change ups.
then you have talks about remapping a derv for more power. you wouldnt even take the old golf over 2k rpm. do to the boost been to harsh for you.
god knows what your gonne be like in a wound up car hock:
your face is like this hock: in a standard powered car.

[Toms306]

Yeah you're right Procta...I'd never drive the golf hard.

[Dum-Dum]

Yeah, itll probably be the same point that I go and get another 325TDS. Gonna spend about 5 times the amount on the next one to get one that aint shit.

[Ed Doe]

then get a NAD too.

Then you've got insurance issues, cos otherwise I'd already have a '6 and a NAD lol.

My insurance on the nad was £490, my insurance on the 6 is £620. I'm paying less for both cars (on separate policies) than most are paying for one!

I also agree, 2cars ftw!! The nad has cost me sodall to run, its easy to work on and actually a hoot to drive!

What power difference is there in round terms before & after the remap? Was the turbo wound up too, or like the hdi's was the 'stage 1' just remapping the fuelling?

Umm, its a stage 2 really I think, bigger IC, 180bhp map, a few other little mods. The map ups the fueling and boost, and maps out the egr and stuff.

[Toms306]

So....I've bought a stop gap. 58horses, 11 months t and t......and err, well not much else haha.

It's nauests nad which I bought from bawdsey this evening (cheers for the lift Sam! )........

I even managed to overtake two people on the way home haha. Oh and it hit 80 downhill lol....
[attachment=0]

[Dan!]

58 horses, is that the 1.5 NAD?

Also, its diablo....... I though you learned your lesson with diablo cars?

[Toms306]

Yes its a 1.5 nad. . And yeah lol....tbh I'm not fussed with the colour haha.

[Dan!]

Its not very shiney....... :think:

[Ed Doe]

This is literally the most winningest thing that has ever happened to Tom. EVER.

Now you can enjoy the delights of not having power steering. or any weight. You'll learn how to take corners flat out at an angle of 45degrees, an angle only permissible due to the TRAGIC travel of the 106 nad suspension...

Ohhh you have so many joys to come

[Toms306]

Haha, the lack of PAS is probably the worst thing about it tbh.....sainsburys car park was a mission lol.

But meh, its only gonna be used till the 20th may anyway. And tbh its pretty fun when your moving


On a proper serious note, would anyone be up for coming over to help me with the dmf swap on the golf one weekend before may 20th?

[bigcheez2k3]

Peasants...My NAD 106 was the Zest3 model, all the bells and whistles except air-con

Can get 98 out of them downhill when my mate is next to you in his Focus Then you remember you're not sure about the cambelt and slow down as it's nearly on the redline.

[4WayDiablo]

Haha now tom ed and dum are car fwiendss

[Toms306]

Redline? I have a clock........

This is apparently some sort of zest lol, no idea which one as it literally has no spec lol....even winding windows. :o
